With the impending release of Quantum of Solace, the twenty second film in the James Bond movie franchise, and, in recognition of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Ian Fleming, creator of James Bond, Tony Starlight's Supperclub & Lounge is holding its second annual James Bond Costume Party and Show on Thursday, July 10 in the Hollywood district of Portland.

"I've long been a fan of the style and glamour connected with the James Bond universe. We're trying to recreate the feel of the old Bond films with our special show," said Tony Starlight, owner of Tony Starlight's Supperclub & Lounge, "This is also gives homage to an amazing author who created one of the most enduring icons of literature and cinema."

The show will feature not only Tony Starlight but also vocalists Barbara Ayars and Karla Harris. A six-piece super group featuring James M. Gregg and Bo Ayars will back them.

According to Starlight, "We will perform all of the great James Bond themes, including Goldfinger, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, From Russia With Love, Diamonds Are Forever, Nobody Does It Better and many more. We will celebrate the style and the glamour of the world's greatest spy. Martinis, tuxedos, hot babes, super villains, gadgets, henchmen, great music and hot babes. And don't forget hot babes."

It is recommended that when you attend the James Bond Costume Party and Show, a visit to AlexSandra's Vintage Emporium at 6726 N Interstate Avenue in Portland should be on your list to acquire the best attire to win either the Best Bond, Best Villain, Best Henchman, Best Good Girl, or Best Bad Girl costume contests.

This is one among many of the specially themed shows that Tony Starlight's Supperclub & Lounge provides regularly. In just the past month, there have been tributes to Neil Diamond, Burt Bacharach and Dean Martin, just to name a few. It seems that no other entertainment venue in Portland and probably in all of Oregon has the style, variety and showmanship of Tony Starlight's Supperclub & Lounge.

Many independent films are facing the dilemma of lack of financial support to developing high quality films. With limited resources available to Indie films, it often times makes it difficult for Indie films to compete against the "Big Boys" in the film industries. According to Gary Susman, Film Writer for Entertainment Weekly, "With rising production and advertising costs, the drying up of financing from investors outside the industry, a bottleneck in distribution that results in most indie-made films going unseen, and competition for attention with mainstream movies that have 100 times the promotional budget and distribution muscle." Silver*Ware Studios services for indie films is a solution to meet independent films needs.

Silver*Ware Studios, Inc. (SWSI) will not only be producing feature films, television show, animation, music, and video game programs, but they will be all so help other production companies produce their on film. On their facility, they will have their own equipment and office space to lease out to independent film makers and company. Indie films will have a chance to compete with the "big boys" and create what they really envision with their projects. This might include funding if packaged properly; for those that want to keep creative control.

SWSI plans to offer the indie film maker a large number of facilities at their disposal. This includes motion capture, green rooms (four wall coverage), post product, etc. They even offer their own distribution through their distribution division (Silver*Ware Distribution). There will be no need for the producer to run around the city looking for all the components to make just one film. They plan to be the film industry's "one stop shop" in the south.

The Heliconia Press is very excited to announce that shooting has begun for a first-of-its-kind kayak fishing action movie, ExOfficio Presents Kayak Fishing: Game On! For release in Spring 2009, the film follows renowned big-game kayak angler Jim Sammons around North America on the kayak fishing adventure of a lifetime. Jim hooks up with local kayak fishing pros as he seeks out tarpon in Florida, halibut and king salmon in Alaska, tuna and marlin in Baja, stripers in Chesapeake Bay, and muskie in Canada.

Production for the movie got underway this past week as Jim met up with local kayak fishing pro, Greg Bowdish, in Fort Myers, Florida. Following along with Jim and Greg were filmmakers Will Richardson and Lisa Utronki, and renowned outdoor photographer, Jock Bradley.

On the hunt for 150-pound tarpon, extreme kayak anglers, Jim and Greg, headed to Florida's legendary, shark-infested Boca Grande Pass. With tidal currents peaking at a whopping 8 knots and enough boat traffic to intimidate the most experienced captain, it is no surprise that Jim and Greg's presence marked the first ever kayak fishing attempt at Boca Grande and likely the last one for quite some time.

Weaving between boats and leaping fish, Greg and Jim both managed to hook tarpon weighing in at over 100 pounds. After a ten minute battle with a tarpon that took Jim on a mile-long sleigh ride on his kayak, the massive fish leapt five feet into the air and soon after broke the line. Greg ended his fight quickly and released the monster fish he'd hooked so that it would be able to fight again one day.

The film industry is traditionally difficult to break into, resulting in new and interesting ways for aspiring film-makers to attempt to bring their work to the public eye. Hornsby-native Rohan Harris, who writes, directs and edits his films, has elected to release his first film, a drama called Insecurity, for free over the Internet, making use of a Creative Commons license to protect his work, while gaining industry exposure. The film is available in full via GoogleVideo and BitTorrent. A DVD version, with special features including commentaries and documentaries, will also be available for sale. "We're really excited about releasing the film. There haven't been many films released like this, with the exception of fan films, so we're trying something pretty new," says Louise Bennett, Co-Producer. "The Internet has made independent film distribution much more achievable."

Costing only $250 to make, and shot in four days, Insecurity is an impressive addition to the Australian Film world. A "realistic hacker film", it follows Leon (local actor Peter Love) and Greg (Kurtis Wakefield), two IT professionals offered four thousand dollars to break into a computer network. From the DVD blurb: "The only real questions are what complications can arise from hacking into a small home business, what's wrong with the twenty year old daughter Madison (Zoe Tarling)... and what should Greg do when his friend can't stop watching the girl on her own webcam - and without her knowledge."

Harris, who has been involved in film-making for two years, is currently finishing his second film, a comedy for twenty-somethings called Dead Man Drinking.

Production is underway for Walt Disney Pictures’ “Hannah Montana: The Movie,” starring actress-singer Miley Cyrus in her first full-length feature film. Filming in and around Nashville, Tenn., and Los Angeles, “Hannah Montana: The Movie” is slated for a Spring 2009 release.

Director Peter Chelsom (“Serendipity,” “Shall We Dance?”) helms this music-filled comedy adventure based on Disney Channel's blockbuster television series, “Hannah Montana,” in which Cyrus stars as a teenage girl who lives a secret life as a pop star. The film also features “Hannah Montana” series regulars Emily Osment (“Spy Kids2: Island of Lost Dreams”), Jason Earles (“National Treasure”), Mitchel Musso (“Secondhand Lions”) and Moises Arias (“Nacho Libre”) and Billy Ray Cyrus (“Doc”).

Also starring are Melora Hardin (“The Office,” “Seventeen Again”), Margo Martindale (“The Riches,” “Million Dollar Baby,”), Barry Bostwick (“Spin City”), Peter Gunn (“Ever After”) and Lucas Till (“Walk the Line”) and Vanessa Williams (“Ugly Betty”).

Written by Dan Berendsen ("Twitches," "The Initiation of Sarah"), the film follows Miley Stewart as Hannah Montana’s soaring popularity threatens to take over her life. With a little urging from her father, the teenager travels back to her hometown of Crowley Corners, Tenn., to rediscover what’s really important.

Producers Miles Millar and Alfred Gough, whose film screenwriting credits include the upcoming "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor," "Spider-Man 2" and "Shanghai Noon," are producing the film, marking the duo's first feature under their Walt Disney-based production company, Millar/Gough Ink. The duo also created and served as executive producers of the critically acclaimed action-adventure series, "Smallville," which is now in its eighth season.

The film is executive produced by David Blocker (“Don King: Only In America,” “Into the Wild”), Michael Poryes and Steve Peterman. Director of photography is David Hennings (“Blue Crush”) and the production designer is Caroline Hanania (“Serendipity,” “Shall We Dance?”). The costume designer is Christopher Lawrence (“Cellular”), the editor is Virginia Katz (“Dreamgirls”), and the choreographer is Jamal Sims (“Hairspray,” “Step Up,” “Step Up 2: The Streets”). The composer is Grammy-winner Alan Silvestri (“Cast Away,” “Forrest Gump”).

It’s not every day that millions of dollars of glittering jewels appear on a movie set, but the gems were instrumental wardrobe pieces for the stylish women of “Sex and The City.” And “Iron Man” Tony Stark needed more than a high-tech suit of armor to protect him from multiple explosions, high powered missiles and high speed car chases.

These were only two scenarios covered by Fireman’s Fund Insurance Company, the largest insurer of Hollywood films, which provided coverage for many of this summer’s flicks.

“Every movie we insure is unique, and this summer’s lineup – action films and comedies, many shot in international locations that pose particular challenges – was no exception,” said Joseph Finnegan, vice president of the entertainment division for Fireman’s Fund.

With an over 80-year history of insuring major Hollywood studio films, Fireman’s Fund entertainment division underwriters and loss control experts are dedicated to helping producers and studios achieve the artistic results they are seeking, yet also ensuring they are filmed safely, finished on time and on budget. This is done by analyzing risks and finding solutions to cover specific exposures. Without insurance, studios and financial backers would never invest in big budget productions where a simple accident would result in a substantial financial setback.
