The Lost Empire: Jim Wynorski’s Classic B Movie Comes to DVD on April 22nd – Breaking Movie News

February 25th, 2014

CEO

In 1983, a young director stepped behind the camera for the first time and began to shoot a film which he thought might be both his first and his last. An ardent fan of “B” cinema, Jim Wynorski decided to cram this film with everything he loved. “I got my first break doing The Lost Empire for Plitt Theatres,” says Jim Wynorski. “The late owner, Henry Plitt (a decorated war hero), wanted to make a low budget sci-fi action picture as a tax loss. I never knew that when I made the show, so I put my heart and soul into the project. When it finally got completed, Plitt actually liked it enough to give it a wide theatrical release – where it actually made some money,” comments Wynorski.

The film had a limited theatrical release followed by an initial release on VHS. As a result of a series of corporate changes at Plitt, “The Lost Empire” was set aside and lost to generations of genre movie fans. Wynorski’s career took off and resulted in an immense body of work. “It was always a deep regret of mine that my first film was caught in this limbo,” says Wynorski “For years I did all kinds of detective work trying to get my film seen.”

Super Tap! Fast, Furious, and Ruthless Finger Tapping Fun – Available on iOS now – Video Game News

February 23rd, 2014

CEO

VOiD Games, an Indie games development company, proudly presents our most ambitious application yet: Super Tap! Taxing even the most hardcore puzzle game fanatic to their very limits, Super Tap is an utterly ruthless challenge to anyone’s dexterity, hand-eye coordination and ability to tap as quickly and accurately as possible.

The app store is full to the brim with puzzle games testing your intellect, but not one challenges your pure skill and reflexes as much as Super Tap! A game of colour coordination, raw speed and precision, Super Tap challenges the player to simply tap on as many correctly coloured scrolling blocks as quickly and accurately as possible. Sound easy? Think again! The scrolling speed constantly increases, and misplaced taps are punished which will result in you being shut out of the game, quite literally! A shutter will lower with each missed tap, when it lowers entirely and it’s game over. But all is not lost; power ups will spawn to help you out, when getting tap streaks, so you can raise both the shutter and your hopes of survival. Oh, and try to cheat the system and play it slow and steady? No chance! With a constantly draining score, only the most dextrous individuals stand a chance of reaching the summit of the global leaderboards.

Stand Your Ground: Timely Film Portrays Textbook Case of Rightful Use of Law

February 19th, 2014

CEO

Faith and the legal system collide in the courtroom drama taking place in the gripping movie, Stand Your Ground: A Cry For Justice, that portrays the gut-wrenching ordeal Jackie Carpenter and her family endured when her son was arrested for accidentally killing a man who was stealing from his worksite. While the family’s tragedy became a textbook case that made legal history, all Jackie could think of was saving her son’s life.

In a perverse twist of fate actress Lucy McBath, who plays the grieving mother of a deceased young man in this award-winning movie, lost her only son when he was gunned down at a gas station in Jacksonville, FL, just seven months after the movie was made. “While the movie represents the rightful use of the Stand Your Ground Law, Lucy’s son represents when it’s wrongfully used,” says Jackie Carpenter, mother of the young man who was on trial for his life in the movie.
