DevotedDVD.com.au
This is due for release this week though order on demand.

As this is released by a small supplier we don't list these titles. (i.e. not on ebay, answer to my question if they'll put it up on ebay)

We do accept paypal as a payment through our online store.

This will also be shipped out with Registered mail so traceable for loss of shipment.

» Backwoods on dvd in the Netherlands
Backwoods:
Backwoods will be released on Region 2 dvd in The Netherlands on January 20, 2009. For more info go to Bol.com



Home of the Giants:
Please do take in account that if you decide to order the dvd from Australia, that it's probably a Region 4 dvd with PAL. The United States is Region 1 (NTSC), and Europe is Region 2 (PAL). So make sure you have a region free dvd player otherwise you won't be able to play the dvd. More info about Region codes can be found here, and more info about PAL and NTSC can be found here.

Fanzone:
All the fanzone entries have been added to their respective page.

This was just posted on the Official Haley Joel Osment message board

Zhar
It believe is true. One of the moderator members in my forum is from Australia, she works at a video store and she has seen the movie a few months ago.

She posted this on my site forum October 17th:

SUKI: For Australia it is the 7th January 2009. I don't know what the date is for other countries, but it is usually earlier.

This is released on DVD on this date.

I work in a video store, so we get advanced copies of the movies. I am in fact watching it right now...about 5 minutes into it.

The site magnum.net.au has a brief mention of the release. Magnum movies is an actual store in Australia (not a webshop). It has several addresses, check their website for the addresses.

Will the star throw the game?

And dvdplaza.com.au has Home of the Giants on their release list:

Home of the Giants (DVD-Video)
21st Century

Also according to dvdplaza.com.au the dvd was the cheapest (pre-order of course) on November 14, 2008. So that, in my opinion, suggests that the dvd has been available for pre-order since, at least November 14, 2008.

And finally dvdfeed.com.au has Home of the Giants on their release list for January 7th.
dvdfeed.com.au

Conclusion, there is only one site that I really trust and that's the classification.gov.au site, this site is from the Australian government. I'll contact 21st century pictures pty ltd and devoteddvd to see what they have to say about all this.

Fanzone:
New best look, rate this picture, caption this picture, guess the character and guess the quote have been added to the fanzone. The fanzone is completely fixed, it's no longer database driven, the entries will now be e-mailed to me and I'll manually add them to the site.

Correction:
Please re-send me your Best Look entry, there's one person who send me an entry, but there was something wrong with the form and it did not get through correctly. All the forms have now been fixed. It's weird though, I have the exact same setup on my Damian site, and there it works perfectly.

Ryan:
I have made the newsletter this time (well, only the layout)! Go check it out, click picture to go to the newsletter.



Site:
You may have noticed the tags on the bottom of each update and the none existing tagcloud in the sidebar. The tagcloud works, as demonstrated here, it shows the 10 most popular tags. But for some reason it totally screws up the sidebar, I'm working on fixing it.

» 5th quarter looking for music
This was posted just minutes ago. The 5th Quarter is looking for music. If you are an artist, go to music.the5thquartermovie.com to submit your song and it might end up in the movie. Here is the press release.

Inspirational Feature Film Launches Nationwide Online Competition for Songs to be Used in Film and Soundtrack

"This is simply one of the most moving and dramatic true-life, sports-related stories I had ever heard," said Rick Bieber. "It begins with a loving, American family experiencing what is our worst nightmare - the sudden and tragic loss of a child - and ends with a family, a team, a school, and an entire community coming together to achieve much more than what was ever expected. It's a story about turning a horrific event into a positive force for change. From the ashes of Luke's tragic death comes a power which bounds together a team, a school and a community. It's a very recent and inspirational story which lends itself to contemporary music written by young, emerging songwriters. We're excited by the prospect of introducing new and innovative musical talent to our film audience.

» Rare stuff!
Rare stuff!
Wow, I've just received a HUGE package from Nona (Ryan's mom). It contains the following:
  • A 'Luke 5' bracelet, worn by Ryan himself in the movie The 5th quarter, most of the cast en crew wore those bracelets, and it's a significant piece of the film story.
  • A "call sheet" from day 19 of shooting The 5th quarter.
  • 2 behind the scenes pictures of The 5th quarter (for my eyes only).
  • The pictures and captions for Ryan's next newsletter.
  • And vhs tapes with some rare stuff! Expect captures and vids of those vhs tapes this weekend!

Oh and yeah Ryan has long hair for the 5th. Kind of like the first ep of Comanche Moon but a little bit shorter. Also, he has huge biceps!  He really has been working out!
