Reflections on 'Special Thanks to Roy London'
 
Special Thanks to Roy London (2005)How does one utilize the cinematic medium, and the documentary form per se, to provide a window into all the depths and layers of a genius? In the purest sense, that may not quite be possible, but documentarist Christopher Monger and his team travel as far toward the apex of this goal as anyone has with the warm and reverent documentary Special Thanks to Roy London, a biographical profile of the titular acting instructor. Self-financed by Monger and his team, produced in 2005 and deservedly screened at Tribeca but then inexplicably bypassed for stateside distribution for quite some time, this film is now available on DVD.

In Memoriam: Corey Haim
 
Actor Corey Haim died recently at the age of 38. Known almost universally to children of the 80’s, Haim became ingrained in the cinematic memories of his peers with the title role in the 1986 movie Lucas. The young actor was just 15, but his portrayal of the high-school football team underdog earned him instant affection from audiences. He’d soon follow this up with 1987’s classic vampire flick The Lost Boys, which would cast him alongside frequent collaborator Corey Feldman. The so-called “Two Coreys” would appear on screen together for many other extremely popular teen oriented films, like 1988’s License to Drive, and 1989’s Dream a Little Dream. Haim would struggle in adulthood, grappling with addiction and financial problems, and took an interesting, post-modern approach to his public image with the 2007 TV series The Two Coreys, in which he and Feldman played scripted versions of themselves in a series presented as a reality show. He would also continue to act in movies in the late 2000’s, appearing in films like New Terminal Hotel and Crank: High Voltage.
