Clemons and Special Celebrity Guests to Walk the Red Carpet at 7:30 p.m.

Legendary saxophonist Clarence Clemons and special celebrity guests will celebrate the publishing of Clemons’ new memoir, BIG MAN: Real Life & Tall Tales. Clemons will be relaying entertaining anecdotes from the book, co-authored by celebrated TV producer, writer and Big Man’s best friend Don Reo with a foreward by Bruce Springsteen, as well as answering questions, mingling with party guests and autographing copies.

We all know them – Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band, but what exactly are the stories behind this amazing rock sensation that took the nation by storm and reinvigorated what it meant to be American? Who is the giant, the “Big Man” that commanded the stage with as much ease as he did power?

For the first time, Clarence “Big Man” Clemons and co-author, Don Reo, have put their experiences to paper shedding light on the almighty E-Street Band. This compilation features both true, unknown stories from the E-Street Band as well as a series of hybrid fact-and-fiction stories called “Legends,” as relayed by Clarence’s larger-than-life storyteller persona.

JENS PULVER | DRIVEN The Intimate Documentary About the Legendary Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) and former UFC Champion, Jens Pulver, Gets Nationwide Release

Posted on by


(PRWEB) August 09, 2011

JENS PULVER | DRIVEN, described as Brilliant, “Inspirational,” and “Raw and Powerful,” is now available for rent or purchase via several popular online and cable video on demand providers including iTunes, CinemaNow, Blockbuster, Zune, Xbox, Shaw Cable, AmazonVOD, DirectTV, Playstation and many more, with leading cable providers TimeWarner, Comcast and Cox coming online with the film in September. A full list of current and upcoming platforms carrying the film can be found at: http://jenspulverdriven.com

Additionally, the limited run Fan Edition DVD is available with an extended cut of the film and special features including extended interviews, outtakes, and deleted scenes from the film for just $ 19. This region free DVD ships worldwide and is available now. Find it at http://www.jenspulverdriven.com or on Amazon.com.

In production over the course of 2010, JENS PULVER | DRIVEN gained early support from fans who contributed to the production of the film via a kickstarter.com campaign which got the film underway. Jens himself was both surprised and deeply heartened by the outpouring of support stating, What it says to me is that I have friends rather than fans. I have people who were willing to support me in creating this filmI love them all for it.

The film captures a raw behind the scenes look of what it takes to live the life of a fighter, and both the mental and physical toll one endures when preparing for a bout. Jens allowed the camera to capture every moment, the good and the bad, It was scary at first, only because the emotion in this is not fake, and I am [putting myself] out there for all to judge and have an opinion about me. As to how hes portrayed in the film, Jens advises, Its dead on.

In 2011, JENS PULVER | DRIVEN has appeared at film festivals including the Beverly Hills Film Festival and the deadCENTER Film Festival in Oklahoma City, OK as well as on the GET DRIVEN Film Tour which has taken the film, and Jens, into communities to screen in front of at-risk youth audiences. Jens, who reveals much of his background growing up as a victim of child abuse and witness to domestic violence in the film, is very pleased to see the movie being used in this way, It makes me feel like I am contributing I want this movie to be there to help and to motivate those who are stuck in life, stuck at a crossroads I hope it helps set the wheels in motion so that they can find a direction, and a purpose.

With a nationwide release the film has also garnered several positive reviews with viewers calling the film Engaging Cinema, with the ability to cross over from traditional fight fans, with one viewer stating, I never thought I could enjoy a fight movie, but I was very wrong. Not only enjoyable but touching and beautiful as well. Jens admits he wasnt sure what to expect, but says hes, Very happy with the reviews so farit makes it all worth it.

Whats next for Jens Pulver? Beyond his work with director Gregory Bayne to continue to bring JENS PULVER | DRIVEN to audiences worldwide, he is currently appearing in the newly released video game Supremacy MMA, and looking forward to more opportunities in the cage, though as he states a new chapter of his life is appearing on the horizon. I am toward the end of my fighting days, and for now I just like learning and getting better. Eventually, I will hopefully be able to channel those desires to be a World Champion into desires for being some thing else. My main goal is to be a good father and husband and to watch my kids grow and experience life and to do all this with my best friend on the planet, my wife.

Jens will enter the cage next on Saturday, August 13th in MMA Fight Pit’s highly-anticipated debut event on Saturday, August 13th, “MMA FIGHT PIT: GENESIS,” which will be offered to fight fans via Pay-Per-View. The fight card is stacked with UFC

Biggest ZOMBIE Movie of All Time Sets 3D Premiere at Legendary Rocker Johnny Ramone’s Memorial Tribute

Posted on by
Reply


San Diego, CA (PRWEB) August 21, 2009

The original 1968 version of the mother of all zombie films, George Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead”, has risen from the dead — literally — as the film’s 3D conversion is complete and its world premiere is now set. San Diego based 3D producer PassmoreLab, in conjunction with the Johnny Ramone Army, has confirmed that the World Premiere of the movie will take place at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles on Saturday, October 3, 2009, as a part of the 5th Annual Johnny Ramone Tribute.

Ramones’ guitarist Johnny Ramone created the enduring template for punk rock guitar. With his blazing power chords and brutal licks energizing Ramones’ classics like “Blitzkrieg Bop”, “Rockaway Beach” and “Sheena is a Punk Rocker”, Johnny inspired generations of punk bands until his untimely death from prostate cancer in 2004, at age 55. His annual tribute, now in its fifth year and attended by thousands of fans, takes place at the foot of his 8 ft. memorial bronze statue inside the Hollywood Forever Cemetery.

“Johnny was a huge horror movie buff, and ‘Night of the Living Dead’ was one of his top ten horror film favorites of all time. We’ve started a tradition screening some of Johnny’s favorite movies, paired in a double feature with vintage Ramones concerts each year at the annual tribute,” said John Cafiero, Chief of Staff of the Johnny Ramone Army. “We are working with PassmoreLab on another project, and it was just great timing and a perfect fit to show ‘Night of the Living Dead 3D’ for the very first time at the tribute. You couldn’t ask for a better setting It’s going to be spectacular.”

“Night of the Living Dead”, originally shot in black and white over 40 years ago, was painstakingly restored, colorized and converted, frame by frame into full 3D using Passmorelab’s proprietary technology. The process, which took over 12 months to complete at a cost greater than the film’s original production budget, was no small feat.

“I am a huge fan of this movie, and so it had to be done with complete precision,” said Greg Passmore, president of PassmoreLab. “We love the genre and as cult classics go, this is mother of them all. If you are going to convert a horror classic, this is the one you want to see in 3D.”

“Night of the Living Dead” is perhaps one of the greatest low budget cult movies ever made and is certainly one of the most influential. Its brutally harrowing documentary-style shooting can be seen in many latter-day films including “The Blair Witch Project” and “Cloverfield”, which earned hundreds of millions of dollars worldwide, respectively.

“Night of the Living Dead” was #9 on Bravo’s 100 Scariest Movie Moments and #4 on Johnny Ramone’s top ten list of horror movies. In 2001, the American Film Institute (AFI) named the film to a list of 100 important thrillers.

“We think fans of the film, young and old, will really like zombies in 3D,” said Steve Glum, PassmoreLab’s head of Branding & Distribution. “For the purists out there, this is the original film, converted into 3D for everyone to enjoy again, but now in 3D for the first time. The fact that we are premiering it at the cemetery will just add to the history of the film and its enduring legacy as one of the greatest of all time.”

The World Premiere of “Night of the Living Dead 3D” and the Johnny Ramone Tribute event are open to the public for a $ 10 per person minimum donation entrance fee with net proceeds benefiting the Johnny Ramone prostate cancer research fund at USC Westside Prostate Cancer Center lead by Dr. David Agus. Gates for the event will open at 5:30pm, and picnic dinners, drinks (including alcohol), pillows, blankets and small chairs are permitted. Attendees of the event will get free commemorative 3D glasses upon entering. Celebrity guest speakers will be in attendance and autograph signings will be scheduled with sole surviving founding member, Ramones drummer & producer Tommy Ramone, and youngest member CJ Ramone. Rare memorabilia will be exhibited along with an art show (curated by Barbara Ramone), of original paintings by the legendary Ramones bassist Dee Dee Ramone, who will receive special homage at the event, as well. Opening featurettes include animated music videos from the Johnny Ramone Army and Osaka Popstar, presented for the first time anywhere in 3D by PassmoreLab. The evening concludes with a vintage Ramones concert shot in 1977 entitled “Its Alive” and the world premiere of “Night of the Living Dead 3D”.

“Johnny felt this movie was shot amazingly and looked genuinely scary,” said Linda Ramone, wife of the legendary guitarist. “He would have been thrilled that the 3D version of the original ‘Night of the Living Dead’ had its world premiere at his tribute. He loved horror movies and he loved the polarized 3D exhibits, so experiencing one of his favorite films that way is something Johnny would have really enjoyed. It’s perfect for the event.”

“Night of the Living Dead 3D” can be seen in selected US theatres and in wide release in 3D theaters in Europe, starting in October. “Night of the Living Dead 3D” will be available in anaglyph DVD on Amazon.com by Christmas, and a 3D TV version will be available when 3D BluRay becomes commercially available.

The centerpiece of the Legendary initiative at Comic-Con is the SnapTag, a more accessible QR Code alternative, created by marketing technology company SpyderLynk. The object for Comic-Con fans is to use their phone to snap and send as many as 500 unique Legendary SnapTags displayed on the lanyard badges of other show attendees. Those with the most snaps at the end win.

The game is accessible to anyone at Comic-Con with a mobile phone. Fans snap and send a SnapTag over short code or email to activate participation. iPhone and Android users can download the SnapTag Reader app at the iPhone App Store and Android Market to activate participation with a scan. Custom responses are triggered confirming participation with each snap and send or scan.

How It Works

The first 500 attendees to come to the Legendary Pictures booth on July 21st will receive their own unique Legendary SnapTag lanyard. They then become a Snapee in the race to collect the most Snaps Snapees compete to get as many festival-goers as possible to snap and send or scan the SnapTag on their lanyard.

The Snapee with the highest number of unique snaps from their lanyard tag will win the Grand Prize, which includes an iPad, a $ 500 gift certificate to iTunes, ten Legendary DVDs (Batman Begins, 300, The Dark Knight, Where the Wild Things Are, Watchmen, The Hangover, Clash of the Titans, Inception, The Town), two Holy Terror t-shirts by Graphitti, and an autographed first edition copy of Frank Millers Holy Terror (when available).

All other attendees can participate in the sweepstakes portion of the game by finding a Snapee and capturing their SnapTag. Each SnapTag sent in counts as one entry. Winners of the 10 iPads will be randomly selected from the total combined entries of all participants.

The SnapTag game gives Legendary an opportunity to go beyond their booth to engage fans and enhance the Comic-Con experience, said Nicole Skogg, SpyderLynk Founder and CEO. I am excited to see if anyone will capture each of the 500 SnapTags at the event.

In addition to the sweepstakes entries, tumblers will be given out to Snappers each day while supplies last. Instructions to pick them up will be included in the text response to players.

Game play begins with the opening of the conference at 10am on July 21st, and ends on Sunday, July 24th at 12pm. Winners will be notified via email on Tuesday, July 26th. Game play is open to anyone ages 13 and up who are legal residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia.

Legendary Australian Actor, Garry McDonald Talks to AudioClinic about Hearing Loss

Posted on by
Reply


(PRWEB) July 2, 2010

Legendary Australian actor, Garry McDonald, has played many roles on television, in the movies and on the stage – all to wide acclaim. But it was in real life, though that he may have encountered his greatest acting challenge pretending he could hear what was going on around him! Garry talks to AudioClinic about his life before hearing aids, and the improvement since being fitted with them.

I started to realise that I was avoiding dinner parties, or anywhere where there were a lot of people, said Mr McDonald, and I started to realise that when I was going to dinner, I just had a fixed smile on my face for most of the night because I didn’t know what was being said!

In fact, it started getting embarrassing for Mr McDonald in both work and social situations.

If someone’s saying something and you’re involved in the conversation, you might try and top them with some joke. Well, I started wondering why instead of getting the laughs that I expected, I was getting strange looks, until someone politely tapped me on the shoulder and told me, Oh, Bob said the same thing a couple of minutes ago. So then I realised I wasnt hearing much at all, said Mr McDonald.

And I remember doing a mini-series a couple of years ago, added Mr McDonald. I had to come on set when Sam Neill said something or other and I just stood there, and in the end they all turned around and looked at me, because I hadn’t come on. I didnt even hear the director yell cut. Thats obviously not real good. Looking back, Mr McDonald believes he had hearing loss for a couple of years before he realised it was a problem – but it was probably another two years after that before he did anything about it.

Im not sure why I put off seeing someone about it really, said Mr McDonald. I guess you dont want to confront these things, and I think I was worried about having to wear some big, ugly hearing aid or something. Luckily my wife nagged me a bit and said, why don’t you do something about it, stop talking about it and do something about it.

Around the same time, Mr McDonald met a woman who had a hearing aid and it was so tiny and unobtrusive, it made him realise how good the latest hearing aids were. So he talked to his GP, who recommended he go to his local AudioClinic for a hearing test.

I was a bit shocked when the Clinician said, Oh, you’re really quite bad, because, you know, I thought I was just sort of mildly hard of hearing!

But the people at AudioClinic were really good, very helpful. Im very happy with my hearing aids. In fact, Ive recommended AudioClinic to friends of mine, said Mr McDonald.

Lifes just so much easier now. Social situations are much easier and it’s easier with work. You know, I don’t have to keep on asking people to repeat themselves all the time. And going to the cinema is easier; going to the theatre is easier, much easier.

Really, I cant believe I put it off for so long, said Mr McDonald. I’d say to anyone struggling with their hearing, get your hearing checked it’s really annoying to people when you’re so deaf!

So if you want your marriage to be a bit smoother, get your hearing checked!

Sunlight Mountain Resorts Legendary Ski Swim Stay Package Returns for 2011-2012 Season in Glenwood Springs, Colorado

Posted on by

Glenwood Springs, Colo (PRWEB) October 04, 2011

For over 20 years, Sunlight Mountain Resort has been the go-to Rocky Mountain resort for fun, affordable ski vacations with a hot springs twist. Sunlights 2011-2012 Ski Swim Stay package features free skiing for kids 12 and under with the purchase of a full-day adult lift ticket, admission to the Glenwood Hot Springs Pool and choice of accommodations at Sunlights 15 partner lodges.

People shop around for the best ski deals, and consistently choose Sunlights Ski Swim Stay. Its just hard to beat, said Sheila Maurer, Assistant Manager of Base Operations at Sunlight Mountain Resort. What makes our Ski Swim Stay package a bestseller year after year is that it offers genuine value both on and off the mountain.

Ski. The first day visitors can enjoy all the benefits of Sunlight Mountain Resorts Ski Swim Stay package is opening day on December 2. From that day on, with the exception of December 26, 2011, to January 2, 2012, the resort is a winter playground for Ski Swim Stay guests with 470 acres of navigable terrain, 67 thrilling runs and, of course, some of the best snow in the Rocky Mountains. Besides free skiing for kids 12 and younger, families are pleasantly surprised that prices are friendly resort-wide. For instance, a one-third pound burger and stack of onion rings or French fries at the Out of Bounds Grill at the base lodge is only $ 6.00. Lessons and rentals are also reasonable. In fact, Ski Swim Stay guests receive a 20 percent discount on ski or snowboard rentals at the Sunlight Ski and Bike Shop in downtown Glenwood Springs (not valid December 26, 2011, to January 2, 2012). Another perk, for those who would rather not drive to the resort, is the Sunlight Mountain Resort Shuttle that picks up guests at various points around town, including many partner lodges, with a return shuttle at the end of the ski day.

Swim. Glenwood Hot Springs is open year round, and winter is one of the best times to soak in the hot mineral springs pool, especially after a day on the slopes. The larger of the two pools spans the length of a football field, and is cooled down to a temperature of 93 degrees Fahrenheit; the smaller therapy pool fluctuates between 102 and 104 degrees Fahrenheit. The pool is open until 10:00 PM every day of the week, an ideal way to relax before turning in for the evening.

Stay. This year Sunlight Mountain Resort has partnered with 15 local lodges in Glenwood Springs. Rates start as low as $ 99 per night, an unbeatable value that also includes skiing and swimming, with choices that include locally owned inns, nationally recognized franchised hotels, ski-in-ski-out condominiums, a mountainside chalet, cozy cabins or historic properties in downtown Glenwood Springs. Wherever guests choose to lay their heads for the night, they can rest easy knowing that Sunlight Mountain Resorts Ski Swim Stay package saves them a bundle, and it delivers the best Colorado winter fun on and off the slopes.

Sunlight Mountain Resort will be open for the season in just a few short weeks. Plan now and play later. For Ski Swim Stay information and reservations, please call 1-800-445-7931 or visit Sunlight online.
