  • Those watching the newly released DVD of Feast will be surprised to see Jason Mewes’ character name has been changed from “Edgy Cat” as previously reported to, simply, himself (Jason Mewes). The film doesn’t do too bad with its budget, certainly showing limitations, but also throwing some really nasty violence and even a few laughs your way. Check it out.
  • And hey, speaking of Mewes, It appears that he is the Honorary Festival Director of the 2006 International Horror and Sci-Fi Film Festival, October 27-29. He will be announcing one of his favorite films, plus other duties. Check it all out at the festival’s official site. He’s scheduled to be there Saturday night only right now. The festival takes place in Tempe, Arizona.
  • Hey, we may as well make it a Mewes trifecta to kick off NewsBites today — He’s also seen in the trailer for a new flick called “Jack’s Law”. You’ll see him in the second half of the trailer. Looks like a small role. The low budget film stars genre favorite Danny Trejo.
