Check this out! New coverage of The Expedition on Dan's Movie Report!

We're very excited! So excited in fact that... well... we might burst! We premiered our first footage at this years MCM Comic Con event in BIRMINGHAM UK! The response to the footage was overwhelming! 

The film is now very close to completion, with the focus right now being on completing our Colour Grade, Visual FX elements and some final tweaks to the Sound Design! We expect to release a trailer for the movie very soon and we have some very exciting news on possible release dates, plans and our next appearance on the expo circuit in the pipeline, so as soon as those details are confirmed, we'll announce them to you!

We had a great day at MCM Comic Con, where over 3000 people visited our stand alone and over 500 people took part in our CREATURE EXPERIENCE, where they could have their photograph with one of the critters (courtesy of the awesome DAVE and his team of animal friends) super-imposed onto our rain forest background!

Enemies Closer Movie Review

Honestly  I had no information about about Enemies Closer prior to watching the film. I usually enjoy watching films I know nothing about. This movie involves drugs and a ruthless, yet nature loving bad guy named Xander played by Van Damme. The movie opens up with border patrol agents searching for a plane that went down near an island, and drugs are suspected. Van Damme and his group pose as Royal Mounties and offer assistance, but in reality, they just wanted  the location that the plane went down. A huge fight breaks out and let me just state that Van Damme is the villian and the good guys are dispatched.

The movie progresses at a rapid pace, even though the audience is never clued in on the origins of the drugs or any other set up. The two other main characters are Henry park ranger with military experience portrayed by Tom Everett Scott and Clay (Orlando Jones) a man hell-bent on revenge because Henry got his younger brother killed.

Most of the action in Enemies Closer involves outside foot chase scenes and gun standoffs. There is some fighting, Van Damme engages in, but it is not the focus of the film. There is gun violence throughout, so be prepared as martial arts are definitely on the back burner in Enemies Closer

Sadly the dialogue in Enemies Closer is not good, and at times rather silly. Van Damme should have been given better lines, rather than spouting off about being a vegan before killing guys in cold blood. Running at barely 80 minutes until closing credits, the film wastes no time getting into the action, but because little is known about the characters, there is no impact or importance when one dies or a major event takes place.

A secondary role is filled by actress Linzey Cocker who portrays Kayla. Her character is actually given depth even though she has limited screen time. Additionally Christopher Robbie plays Sanderson, a colorful old man who lives in the forest, and just wants to be left alone.

Overall Enemies Closer was decent, but lacked depth and is one of those watch it and forget it films. I rate the film a 5 out of 10. I know how amazing Van Damme is, and Enemies Closer is not a great film for him to display them.

Dateless Series Begins Production and Kickstarter Campaign!

As a writer on an independent site I get so many notices of Kickstarter Campaigns. Mostly I ignore them because I either don't know the main person involved, or I just don't believe in the project. A couple of weeks back I was informed by Arlene Barshinger about a project called DATELESS http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/688406154/dateless-the-series-come-be-a-part-of-the-fun  

The series is a comedy in the vein of The Office meets The Dating Game.

Dateless is created by matchmaker Laura Bendixson who is also the executive producer (Facebook Link) https://www.facebook.com/HotSpotRadio Dateless is directed by Josh Hodgins 

The team has some cool ideas and set a small and reasonable opening budget at 9,200 dollars for 4 initial episodes.  The creative team is in place with full support and TV time will be available upon completion. Dan's Movie Report supports this project, and I look forward to seeing the first episode.
