The accompanying music video for ‘Passive Aggressive’ … Continue reading Music Is: ShiGGa Shay collabs with HUGO on new single ‘Passive Aggressive’

Making her debut in Bobby Suarez’s 1978 film They Call Her…Cleopatra Wong, the eponymous femme fatale made such an impact, even Quentin Tarantino (of Kill Bill fame) took inspiration from her. Spawning two more sequels in the years that followed, Cleopatra Wong is everything you could … Continue reading Film Fanatic: An Interview with Marrie Lee, star of cult action film ‘They Call Her…Cleopatra Wong’
