XOMBIE TO BE RE-ANIMATED BY HALO-8’s GODKILLER TEAM

James Farr’s XOMBIE: REANIMATED horror/sci-fi adventure to get illustrated film adaptation by award-winning filmmaker Matt Pizzolo


Los Angeles, CA, September 9, 2009 – Halo-8 Entertainment has slated award-winning director Matt Pizzolo (upcoming GODKILLER, THREAT) and Emmy-winning producer Brian Giberson to create an “illustrated film” adaptation of “XOMBIE: REANIMATED,” a horror/sci-fi adventure comic book created by James Farr, published by Devil’s Due Publishing, and produced by Epic Level Entertainment in a deal that marks the second collaboration between Halo-8 and Farr after XOMBIE: DEAD ON ARRIVAL was released by the studio in March. Halo-8 has scheduled the new film for production in early 2010 (after Pizzolo and Giberson complete their work on Tim Seeley’s LOADED BIBLE), with a theatrical release planned for later in the year.

WARNER BROS. RECORDING ARTIST LIGHTS TO RELEASE THE LISTENING

Debut Full Length From Canadian Electro-Pop Singer and Songwriter Out Oct 6th 2009

Burbank, CA – Warner Bros Records is proud to announce the October 6, 2009 release of The Listening, the debut full-length album from LIGHTS.

The Toronto singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist crafts her own brand of sparkling, otherworldly electro-pop that is, in her words “soft, but not pussy-soft, you know?”  LIGHTS’ songs have already garnered almost 16 million plays on MySpace, and she has racked up a #1 hit on MuchMusic, inclusion in a series of Old Navy commercials, and airtime on The Hills. On the strength of her self-titled EP alone, LIGHTS won the 2009 Juno (the Canadian equivalent of a Grammy Award) for New Artist of the Year, joining the ranks of Feist and Nelly Furtado.

DVD Review: The Hills Run Red (2009)

Originally posted at blogcritics.org

Relax, it’s not a rip-off sequel to the rip-off remake (or sequel) of The Hills Have Eyes. Nor is it any relation to the spaghetti western of the same name.

DVD Review: The Revenge Of The Crusader

Review posted at DVD Drive-In.com

Mya Communication really deserves an award.

The giallo, horror, western, and sex comedy genres have been given a new lease on life in America thanks to Mya’s commitment. Another favorite genre of Mya’s is the Peplum film — better known as “sword and sandal” to Stateside aficionados… (Read the rest at DVD Drive-In.com)
