My Favourite Game

Emily Procter of CSI Miami Helped this PIC!

This film was full of wild and sexy scenes and not worth viewing, unless you like Emily Procter(Whitney Bryant),"CSI Miami TV Series,'02, who charms and delights Sean Patrick Flanery (Rich Hamilton),"Kiss the Bride",'02 who played his role just as you would expect him to, charming all the gals and even scoring!! Emily Procter showed her great FORM and good acting skills and she can presently be seen in the CSI Miami TV Series, with David Caruso, as a gun expert with her nose down the barrel. I am quite sure we will see Emily advance to better acting roles and a very bright future on the big SCREEN! This film tried to tell a story, but it just did not quite make the grade!!!
