8/06/06 "Into the Black" was reviewed again. This time by FilmThreat.com. Let's just say it is a less flattering review than the one from MicroCinemaScene.com. Two out of Four stars. Just keep in mind they gave "Miami Vice" Two and a half stars and "Clerks" and "Lady in the Water" One and One and a half stars respectively.
That puts us below Michael Mann but ahead of Kevin Smith and M. Night Shamalayn. I'll take that as a compliment.

1/31/06 The first review is in for "Into the Black" and it's a doozy. Microcinemascene.com reviewer Jamie Lisk blessed us with four stars and goes on to say:
"Director Marc Powers’ second foray into independent filmmaking, is a slick, brilliantly-crafted, metropolitan morality tale that will surely resonate with the viewer long after it has ended."
"Without a doubt, Into The Black is one of the finest urban crime-thrillers I’ve ever watched, mainstream, indie or otherwise."
Along with heaping on the accollades for the acting talent as well he had this to say about the soundtrack.
"Powers seems to have raided the local indie music scene in order to compile one of the finest soundtracks ever. It includes the talents of DCM, Big Moe, Hybrid 216, Dan Blakeslee, Mike Martell and Corey Cain. The song "Into the Black" performed by Colleen Walsh Cain, is truly beautiful."

9/19/05 Well the "XJAM 05" premiere came and went and it was a pretty good success. We are now officialy in full swing for promoting the DVD.

DVD copies of the film are now available at the Green Monster Films store. (At $5 plus s+h a copy they really are a steal. Basically we are selling these at about our cost just to get this thing out there and help promote everybody that was involved in it.)

on the mind blowing asphalt burning "Flatland" action.
