Uhhhh, it's Friday... the 13th
Well, to horror movies aficionados it's on par with any other sacred holiday like... well, Halloween, LOL. And for this F13 I've got these two lined up:
I haven't watched either of the two films (nor have I watched the trailers so I hope it's the right ones, LOL). Word is EDEN LAKE is really, really good. So that's... good. Word is CABIN FEVER 2 is the worst crap (at least according to the YouTube posters that I've read) but then again every reviewer on the block also said the first one was terrible and I fucken love it so it's not like I'm gonna make up my mind by listening to YT morons, HAHA. We'll see.

Nick Nicholson has died

Unfortunately, Nick Nicholson has just passed away. I never met him but a few of us who collect Filipino films got to know him thru the Filipino section at Dvdmaniacs, these film blogs, personal emails, and not least via Andrew Leavold who went to see him several times in the Philippines. And of course THE FILMS!! I watched him about a week ago in the movie DEATH BOND where he played a double-crossing sleaze-bag. Unfortunately, his health was no-way near the one he had in that film. Recently, he's suffered five heart attacks and had to struggle with having very little money and a hospital system which is beyond crappy. Unfortunately, his body gave up today.
His wife Annie has left this sad message on his blog. Annie, if you read this; I feel very sorry for your loss.
RIP Nick.

Best ever toon on a Monday night
I bought the two Gun Club LP's "The Las Vegas Story" and "The Birth, The Death, The Ghost" in one go thru mailorder in circa 1985. I saw them at the Town & Country Club in London in 1990 when Jeffrey Lee Pierce had re-formed the band. When I returned from Australia in 1996 I turned on the radio and heard he'd died. This track is from "Lucky Jim", their awesome swansong from '93. Jeffrey's music is always described as swamp rock. Personally, I've always had images of the desert flash on my inner cinema when I hear their music.
