  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE MTI CONTINUES WITH PLANS TO RELEASE ANNA NICOLE SMITH’S LAST FEATURE FILM Sci-fi Comedy will be Released on DVD this May FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: MIAMI, FL, February 13, 2007 – MTI Home Video, one of the largest independent home entertainment studios in the U.S., will continue with its planned release of Anna Nicole Smith’s last feature film, the sci-fi comedy ILLEGAL ALIENS, directed by David Giancola from Edgewood Studios. The feature will be available on DVD this May. “At first look, ILLEGAL ALIENS appears to be just another low budget sci-fi comedy poking fun at Hollywood’s big budget flicks,” said the film’s executive producer and actor, John James (All My Children, Dynasty). “Now with the passing of it’s star you’ll find it to be replete with metaphors of her life. Anna invested in the production for her and her son, and was involved in creative aspects, adding numerous elements and rewrites for her character. This movie may just be the Abbey Road of films for Anna Nicole Smith fans.” SYNOPSIS: You thought they were from another planet... you were right! "Charlie's Angels" goes sci-fi, with a touch of "Men in Black" thrown in for good measure, when three aliens morph into super-hot babes and arrive to protect the earth from the intergalactic forces of evil. Guided by Syntax, their holographic mentor, these ILLEGAL ALIENS are willing to use every trick in the book and every sexy outfit in their wardrobe to accomplish their mission! This film is filled with high-energy action, lowbrow spoofs, and the high-camp acting reminiscent

  • Universal Beneficence of Grass-John James Ingalls
    The Universal Beneficence of Grass When I was a kid, I was active in 4-H, an organization for kids sponsored by what is now called the Texas AgriLife Extension Service. During my time in 4-H, I raised several 4-H animals and at one time I was on the 4-H grass judging team for our county. To call it “grass judging” was kind of a joke because it was really just grass identification contests, and I was really awful at it. But it did instill in me a deep appreciation and interest in grass that has continued throughout my life. I now know a lot more about our native grasses and I certainly consider them the most important class of vegetation to have on the land, both because grass is best at holding water and preventing erosion as well as building a fertile soil. So when I read the following essay, written well over 100 years ago, probably sometime after the civil war, I immediately wanted to share it with you. “GRASS” “Next in importance to the divine profusion of water, light and air, those three physical facts which render existence possible, may be reckoned the universal beneficence of grass. Lying in the sunshine among the butter-cups and dandelions of May, scarcely higher in intelligence than those minute tenants of that mimic wilderness, our earliest recollections are of grass and when the fitful fever is ended, and the foolish wrangle of the market and the forum is closed, grass heals over the scar which our decent into the bosom of the earth has made, the carpet of the infant becomes the blanket of the dead.
