Here's a new review of Gamers from The Entertainment Review. It's pretty damn cool! This has been a nice week and Tiffany and Jenny from Monterey Media really have been working over time to get the word out and they've done a fantastic job.

Go Gamers! Keep renting it and getting your friends also!

Here's part of the review, click on to read the full review below.

"This mockumentary shows that with a low budget and a short shooting time, with the right actors, and more importantly, with the right script, any film can become a hit, even if to a select group of viewers.  “Gamers” can be said to be almost as good as any big budget comedy, but was created at a fraction of the price with probably twice as many laughs.  Audiences will of course have to take into consideration that the film was shot in six days, making the film even better than originally thought.

In the end, “Gamers” proves to be a film that real world RPG gamers can appreciate, especially since many filmmakers steer clear of
such minute stories as that of a group of pen and paper RPG gamers.  Also, while many non-gamers will have laughs here and there throughout the film, the majority of “Gamers” is for those who have played these types of games and many of the jokes allude to Dungeons & Dragons, which can be greatly appreciated by those who have played it."

For some reason the movie shot up today to 75 on IMDB, that means we are what 74 spots away from kicking Iron Mans ass? :)

Wow, too bad we don't get money for being in the top 100!

I wish I could say this changes everything, I emailed Monterey Media and said can you use this to go get cable rights!

We got to get that debt paid off baby!

Okay, here's a shameless plug for Sparks the comic book coming out in June!

Some incredible reviews

“This book opens up firing on all cylinders and to be honest a book has not excited me as much as this one from the first issue. Not Proof, not Transhuman, heck I can’t think of anything that I genuinely enjoyed this much from the get go. Get it added to your pull list now, this is going to be something.”

Serious, this was an incredible opportunity and many thanks to Jim and Lee!

So, I had to work late yesterday and I wasn't able to go to my local Best Buy Store in Thousand Oaks, CA to pick up or at least take a picture of Gamers on the shelf! Serious, this is a once in a life time opportunity to stand in a retail store and laugh and be proud that some how, some way, our indie film which we did for our own self amusement was deemed worthy enough to be sold to consumers. I may never have this opportunity again and I at least wanted to experience it once in my life time. Because, let's be honest, I think it was about one week on the shelf for new releases before they never re-order again!

So, Rose my wife calls me  up, she knows I'm working late and says, "Hey Honey, I'm at Best Buy, I brought the three kids and the video camera and we were going to surprise you with a video of Angelina who wanted to spend her Best Buy gift certifcate on a copy of Gamers. How cool is that? My seven year old really was going to do that, see what good taste she has in movies!

Well guess what? Best Buy didn't have Gamers out on the shelf, they had 4 copies somewhere in the back and nobody had time to place it out and really didn't give care.

So, my daughter ended up buying the movie "The Game Plan" featuring the Rock.

Seriously, God...at some point you can stop giving me writing material. And that whole thing about you can't experience great love without experiencing Great pain...it's okay, I'm shallow, I prefer shallow love.

2 1/2 years...well what's one more day right?
