RIP
Very talented singer and songwriter Gerry Rafferty has died at the age of 63 from liver failure. Rafferty was famous for his great 70's music with his group Stealers Wheel who had a smash hit entitled Stuck In The Middle With You.
In the late 70's Rafferty hit big with such tunes as Baker Street, Right Down The Line, Get It Right Next Time and many, many more. In this day and age of vulgar crap that passes for music, this true legend will be sorely missed.

RIP
Just weeks after her co-star, Leslie Neilsen, in the film Forbidden Planet died we have now lost Anne Francis. She was 80 and died of complications from pancreatic cancer. She was well known in the movie business and was featured in hundreds of films and TV shows, one which she starred in was the delectable Honey West.
She was such a sweet woman and worked with a friend of mine John Fredriksen on his fantastic book about Honey West.
All of us will miss Anne. What a sad way to start the year.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO....
Victoria Principle turns 61, Mara Corday is 81 and wrestling announcer Jim Ross is 59.

BOBBY "THE BRAIN" HEENAN (WWE)
Even if you've never been a fan of pro wrestling I have no doubt you've heard of Bobby Heenan. The man is quite possibly the most entertaining man ever to be in the sport and his way with one liners is legendary.
This two disc set looks at his life and career and his recent fight with cancer. I think the WWE actually stumbled on this collection as there is a LOT of material they didn't cover, but with Vince McMahon what do you really expect.
If you're a wrestling fan you will enjoy this set. I love Bobby Heenan and wish him all the best in his life. The man made me laugh sometimes until I cried!!

COMING ATTRACTIONS
Jan. 4-Machete (20th Century Fox)
Jan. 11-Long Ride From Hell (Code Red)
Jan. 18- Black Klansman (Code Red), the ones I am waiting for the most is the two from Shout Factory which are Roger Corman Sci-Fi Classics which features Attack Of The Crab Monsters, Not Of This Earth and War Of The Satellites. When this comes in I fully intend to take an entire Saturday afternoon and relive a childhood! The other is Demon Of Paradise/Up From The Depths which are two more gems but from the 80's instead of the 50's although Demon Of Paradise is one of the last movies I can recall that had a man in a monster suit. That is why I love it so much.
Jam 25-Carnival Magic (Cultra) Gotta see this to believe it!!! God's Bloody Acre (Code Red).
Looks like 2011 is starting out pretty good.
UPDATE: Sinister Eyes of Dr. Orloff has been pushed back to Feb. 8th.

RESIDENT EVIL: AFTERLIFE (SONY)
Milla Jovovich returns again as Alice as she fights more zombies and the evil Umbrella Corporation as they attempt to take over the world. Sexy Ali Larter again joins her.
There are millions of zombies and many, many evil corporate men in this well made and sometimes very diverting film.
Milla always looks fine as Alice and she has to fight demon dogs, flesh eating zombies, a strange giant who appears briefly and is unexplained and corporate killers. If you like the franchise, you'll like this movie.

NEW POLL
There is a new poll about what your favorite genre TV show. Please vote if you care to and send me your feedback.
BEAST OF BLOOD (IMAGE)
My first capsule review of 2011 is this excellent Philippine made film starring John Ashley as a man who travels back to Blood Island to continue his quest to kill a green blooded monster that almost killed him in the first film entitled Mad Doctor Of Blood Island.
Joining him this time is a sexy photographer played Celeste Yarnall. This is an interesting monster tale that no doubt influenced the makers of Re-Animator as the head of the monster commands the body to get up and kill the mad doctor.
Wow, they don't make good films like this anymore.
