Hey there. My first entry of the new year. Figured I get caught up on a few things. I've gotten several cool DVDs recently. First was the Shield Season 1 DVD box set. A great set from the hit show on FX. Like I told you before, this is a show that makes NYPD Blue look tame in comparison. I love the first set and the second season which has just started up a couple of weeks ago is off to an incredible start. Check it out Tuesday nights if you can, it is raw and rough and very very good. The show I saw last Tuesday was unbelievable.
A quick aside, another TV show I like, The Dead Zone, has also started its season on USA cable on Sundays. I like this show and I hear that it will also have its first season available on DVD soon (the first two eps are already out on DVD) When that is released, I'll be getting that one too.
Back to my DVDs, I got the cool werewolf movie, Dog Soldiers recently as well. I saw it over the summer on SciFi and was looking forward to getting it on DVD. An added bonus: I got it on sale at Blockbuster for about $9. Some places that had it were selling it for $16 or $24, so I got a very cool deal.
There was another DVD I got and for this one there's a small story involved. Last year, I went to the comics show near my place and bought a videotape of the homemade Spider Man movie, "The Green Goblin's Last Stand" I was impressed by the movie, especially for the fact that it was made for about $400 and the mind blowing stunts and effects that were done for it. By chance, while looking on the web I came upon the website for the movie and read about the guy who was behind the film, Dan Poole. I e-mailed him that I'd liked the film and surprisingly, he e-mailed me back. From what I've read and seen, he's like me with my Mark of the Wolf film project, only he was able to get it done and get a lot of cool exposure about it.
Since that e-mail, I was able to purchase the DVD of the movie from his company, which also includes the award winning documentary on the making of the movie. Again, I was blown away by the behind the scenes work that led to this film getting made and what has happened to it since. I plan to add the link to their website very soon. Poole's work ethic has definitely given me an added edge to getting my film done in the near future and I've promised him that I will keep him (and you out there) informed on the film's progress.
That's it for now. Blog at you later.
