‘Crossroads’ screencaps and more
Post Categories: Gallery

My DVD copy of Crossroads finally came!  I’ve added a ton of screencaptures – including menus and DVD quality captures of the trailer.  Also added is a photo of the cover which is very cute in my opinion.

Ted Stokes interview – part 2

January 15th is upon us and that means that part two of Ted Stoke’s interview with Amy is now online.

Marking just under one month until Dollhouse’s premiere (Feb 13th) we are proud to present the concluding part of our exclusive interview with Amy Acker which began December 15th. This time we talk about her career after her breakout role as Fred in Angel all the way to Dollhouse.

You went and used a lot of technology in some of your work or played very technological people how are you good with technology really?

I’m not even good at checking email so not really.

Were there any plans to do tie-in videogames for Angel?

I haven’t heard about that so no.

Are you into videogames?

I don’t know. I have never really been into that, I mean my husband’s [James Carpinello who played Bobby Saint in 2004’s The Punisher] big into Guitar Hero and Rock Band. My sister has a Wii and I think my favourite thing about it was at Christmas last year my whole family were playing Wii bowling so I was like this is pretty awesome, that we can all play this together.

Exclusive ’21 and a Wake Up’ info

I can’t even begin to describe how happy I am to be posting this.  I have been in contact with the writer and director of 21 and a Wake Up, Chris McIntyre, and he has given me some excellent information about the movie.  While no official release date has been stated, this is what he had to say about the progress of the film:

I’ll be doing several more test screenings of “21″ with different audiences. The Bellingham audience was principally doctors and nurses, since it’s a medical story, and the one in Chicago will be primarily military people through the USO.

He also mentions that he will be doing some screenings at various colleges and a possible screening in the Washington, D.C. area. Check your local papers for any warning of these. As for the release of the finished product:

We will be doing a slow rollout of the film in March in several theaters in each of three cities, Chicago, New York and Los Angeles, expanding slowly to other cities in the spring.

He was also nice enough to give us fans some information about the title of the film and what it means:

For your fans curious about the title, it has three meanings:

The first is that a major event transforms Amy’s character’s life when she has 21 days left in country, “21 and a Wakeup” being standard military jargon for a person who has 21 days left before leaving a combat zone, or leaving the army itself.

Secondly, while the average age of soldiers in Vietnam was 19, the average age of nurses was 21, because they went through two years of nursing school, travelling to Vietnam at 21 to wake up to horrors they could not have imagined.

Thirdly, America was in Vietnam for 21 years, 1954 to 1975, waking up to the first war it ever lost.

I hope you all are as happy to hear this information as I was. A special thank you to Chris for sharing this with us. Stay tuned – I have some more 21 and a Wake Up goodies possibly coming soon!

Dollhouse review
Post Categories: 'Dollhouse', Articles & Reviews

And I adore Amy Acker, who can play so many roles — from the mousy, sweet Fred on “Angel” to a cold-hearted villain on “Alias.”

You can read the full review here.  Enjoy!

Release of ’21 and a Wake Up’?

Hello Amy fans!  I hope that you all had a wonderful holiday season.  I know I did!  Anyway, on to the news:

I came across a brief article about Amy’s movie 21 and a Wake Up.  Apparantly, it had a theatrical showing in Bellingham, Washington on January 4th.  I apologize that I did not find out until now and couldn’t give advance warning.  According to this article though, it should be released nationwide sometime in February.

Chris McIntyre is using showings in Bellingham and other cities to perfect the movie before it opens in theaters across the country in February.

I have found no other source for this information so for now we should consider it as only a rumor.  Check back later in the week – I have lots of goodies I’m planning on adding and part two of the Ted Stokes interview should be available soon.
