A summary of what Jack Coleman has been up to - Part 1: Rock The House

It's been almost two years since we had an update on this blog, so I guess we should get back to business with his Hallmark Original Movie: Rock The House which premiered in June 2011.
 

In this movie, Jack Coleman plays a lawyer, Max, who finds a way to reconnect with his daughter and his old sense of joy when he gets back together with his music-making friends from his teenaged years.


An interview of Mr Coleman in which he talks about this movie and also, his future projects and Heroes:

Behind the scenes


Sadly, still no word on Rock The House DVD.

The Jack-(Coleman)-O-Lantern!

This is what I did for Halloween. Although it'll probably be all destroyed by Saturday...(click the pics for the full size!)



There was a great stencil on Pinkraygun.Com, so I printed it out, then scaled it down to 75% to fit my pumpkin. At this point, all the tiny fine details were terrifying me, my previous pumpkins have always been a bit crude.


Stencil taped to the pumpkin, ready to be transferred.


I didn't have the right tool to transfer the stencil, I tried with small nails but it wasn't practical, so I just used the tip of a knife instead. Now the plan is clear.


I went over the lines with black ballpoint pen, and hollowed out the pumpkin. Must do something with the flesh I collected.

I'd like to note that while I was cutting out the design, I realised that the "face" wasn't supported by anything according to the stencil. So I made shallow cuts in the skin in a few places (top, around the ear and the glasses frame) so that the flesh behind kept holding it all together.


DONE! All it needs is a candle! All Hail the Jack-(Coleman)-O-Lantern! :D
