Reel Access

I'm actually lost for words on the recent death of Corey Haim. I know that for a while he has had issue with drug abuse. I am a baby of the 80's, but didn't really get to enjoy the films until I was little bit older. I loved Corey in "The Lost Boys", which is one of the many favorite 80's movies on my list. This is unfortunate the tale of how your life can be so perfect so to speak and you can hit rock bottom in seconds. I have stressed my concerns on old posts on this. This situation makes you re-evaluate your life in general no matter the profession you have that brings income to you.

I really don't want to get into much detail because it's too depressing to hear because there was one point when he had a show with best friend Corey Feldman called "The Two Coreys" where he did get help for his substance abuse. Unfortunately in the end, drugs became his downfall. I want to send my condolences to his family and friends and to him as well because he went through so much, but couldn't break through the light. 

I have to admit this year's Oscars was by far the best awards I've seen so far. Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin were amazing hosts. I felt that this year's awards had to this beautiful and peaceful feeling to it that it's difficult for me to describe. The night basically owned by newbies. Mo'nique won Best Supporting Actress in "Precious", Sandra Bullock won Best Actress in " The Blind Side" and Kathryn Bigelow won Best Director for "The Hurt Locker" making her the first female director to win an Oscar. 

I was very proud to see Mo'nique win that award and her acceptance speech was inspiring on so many levels. Her outfit which explained later in the press conference was a tribute to the first African American winner, Hattie McDaniel who won Best Supporting Actress in "Gone with the Wind". I did not know about that, but it was awesome and historic to see that things are changing and that people of color are being recognized more. I would like to say congratulations to Mo'nique, Sandra and all the other winners at last night's ceremony. 

Once again, there is a pretty impressive cast line up on the ultra popular "Dancing with the Stars"."For season 10 we have Kate Gosselin, Chad Ochocino, Pamela Anderson, Shannen Doherty, "The Bachelor's" Jake Pavelka, "All My Children"'s Aiden  Turner, Olympic medalist Evan Lysacek, ESPEN's Erin Andrews, " Reno 911!"'s Niecy Nash, Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger  and astronaut Buzz Aldrin. I think I might actually tune in for this season because I am looking forward to seeing Kate Gosselin, Niecy Nash and Shannen Doherty. I know for sure that Nicole is going to one of the front runners because she is already a dancer and that is major points already.

For further cast members I would like to at least see a "Twilight" star on this program. Robert, Taylor, Kellan or even Peter would be a very nice treat to watch.
