May 1st Marks 4-Year Anniversary of George W. Bush Announcement that Major Combat Operations in Iraq had Ended

Pittsburgh, PA - April 24, 2007 - Inecom Entertainment Company, a producer and distributor of documentary and instructional films, announced that new clip reels for Blood and Oil - The Middle East in World War I are now available for free download. The film provides valuable insight into "how we got to where we are today" in the Middle East. Its availability is timely since May 1, 2007 marks the 4-year anniversary of George W. Bush's announcement that major combat operations had ended in Iraq in a speech made under a sign that read "Mission Accomplished." Read CNN's coverage of the event.

As the debate over withdrawal of troops from Iraq escalates among White House officials and members of U.S. Congress, many concerned citizens and their political representatives are looking for answers on how best to end the conflict in Iraq. Understanding the history of the region is critical to making a plan to move forward. According to Blood and Oil Writer/Producer Marty Callaghan, “This film details the enormous struggle in the Middle East during World War I, a conflict that had great implications for the world’s future. The film clearly demonstrates how the breakup of the Ottoman Empire by Western Powers set the stage for political and military conflict that has plagued the region ever since. The control of oil reserves played a key role during World War I, just as it motivates Western intervention in the Middle East today.”

One of the clips from Blood and Oil focuses on the British capture of Baghdad on March 11, 1917 - and the oil deal Britain made with France that still affects the world we live in today. In the film, David R. Woodward, author of Hell in the Holy Land: World War I in the Middle East, provides unique insight into the battle for Baghdad. Download free clips.

In an article entitled We Can No Longer Ignore Blood and Oil Lessons, talk show host, non-fiction author and novelist, weekly OpEd-columnist, award-winning television writer and filmmaker Steve Young claims that Blood and Oil "ought to be mandatory viewing for every Washington legislator, Defense Department worker and member of the Bush White House."

The fascinating stories of the American men and women who served in the Great War is not something that is common knowledge anymore. These brave soldiers, nurses and pilots served by the millions to end the conflict in 1918 and in the process changed American culture forever. In less than a year nearly 50,000 Americans were killed in action and that is something that should not be forgotten."

The GI Film Festival's Hollywood Advisory Committee includes Academy Award winning Actor Ernest Borgnine (From Here to Eternity, McHale's Navy), Actor Chuck Norris (Delta Force, Missing in Action), Academy Award nominated Director John Milius (Apocalypse Now, Red Dawn), Director/Screenwriter Ron Maxwell (Gettysburg, Gods and Generals), Director John Dahl (The Great Raid), Executive Producer Lou Reda (Vietnam: Homecoming) and Dr. Ted Baehr, publisher of Movieguide.

Inecom Entertainment Sets Street Date of August 28, 2007 for Classic Game Room

Pittsburgh, PA - April 11, 2007 - Inecom Entertainment Company announced today that its new film, Classic Game Room - The Rise and Fall of the Internet's Greatest Video Game Review Show, will be available in stores nationwide on Tuesday, August 28, 2007. Preorders for the feature-length comedy documentary are already being taken through Internet retailers such as Amazon.com.

Classic Game Room was the first classic video game review show on the Internet in 1999 and 2000. It returns as a feature-length comedy film about the triumphant story of online success, failure, obscurity, resurrection and success again!

“Though the series may be no more, fans of the hilariously unhinged program can finally find out the truth about the rise and fall of Classic Game Room. Classic reviews of such games as Frogger, Duck Hunt, and Yar's Revenge highlight this nostalgic look back at the beer-soaked Internet start-up series that never took itself too seriously,” says Jason Buchanan of All Movie Guide.

The legendary show was produced in the early days of online video by Mark Bussler and David Crosson at an Internet startup with one camera, a green screen and $50 budgets. The show was objective, entertaining and obnoxious with beer-drinking, bottle-throwing, joystick-slinging, car-crashing classic game reviews. A cult following developed and the reviews kept coming, but how long could it last until the money ran out?

The film features the original raucous reviews of Duck Hunt for NES, Alien for Atari 2600, X-Men for Sega Genesis, Sega GT for Dreamcast, Joust and Missile Command for Playstation, Frogger for Atari 2600, SeaMan for Dreamcast, Perfect Dark for Nintendo 64 and Yars' Revenge for Atari 2600.

Special Features on the DVD include a feature-length commentary track with Writer/Director Mark Bussler, three Blogs on production including a bonus review of Berzerk for Atari 2600 and trailers for Bussler's historical documentaries: EXPO - Magic of the White City, Horses of Gettysburg and World War 1 - American Legacy. Horses of Gettysburg will be airing on public television and HDTV in June.
