Inecom Entertainment Sets Street Date of July 17, 2007 for Dr. Ravi & Mr. Hyde

Pittsburgh, PA - May 10, 2007 - Inecom Entertainment Company announced today that its new film, Dr. Ravi & Mr. Hyde, will be available in stores nationwide on Tuesday, July 17, 2007. Preorders for the feature-length film are already being taken through Internet retailers such as Amazon.com.

Dr. Ravi & Mr. Hyde is a comedy about a doctor who went to film school to make a film about being a doctor. Producer/Director Dr. Ravi Godse jokes, "Making movies is not brain surgery; it is more difficult than that!"

Like many men his age, Dr. Ravi finds himself halfway through his life having not yet achieved the greatness he anticipated. Sure, he could buy a sports car or find a hot, young babe to help him through his midlife crisis, but Dr. Ravi yearns for more. His search for divine fulfillment takes him from the halls of a hospital to what he believes is his true calling - directing and producing a true "timeless classic" motion picture.

On his journey, he must cope with unscrupulous agents, reluctant colleagues, an unenthusiastic wife and even the Mafia. From the streets of Pittsburgh to the sun-swept shores of South Africa, Dr. Ravi's search takes him near and far eventually bringing him to the realization that it's not important what he does or how well he does it, as long as he just does something.

"I think people of any age ask 'is there more to life?' from time to time. Dr. Ravi & Mr. Hyde takes a humorous look at how one man searches for that answer," said Godse whose novel was a Top 5 bestseller in India.

Dr. Ravi & Mr. Hyde is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) for some rude humor. The film's ensemble cast also features American Radio Hall of Fame inductee and Sports Broadcasting legend Myron Cope and multiple Emmy-winning TV personality Dave Crawley.

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."
