** New Line options for both a prequel to the Nightmare on Elm St. Franchise and also the Freddy vs. Jason vs. M. Myers. Um I really don't know what to say. Just felt the urge to make mention of it.

**Seems that Clive Barkers thief of Always film version may finally see the light of day with Shrek 2 co-director Kelly Asbury at the helm. It will be live action (although I thought I remember hearing of an animated version some years ago). I haven't read this book in some time but I do remember enjoying it and thinking it had a very visual element to it so it will hopefully be worth waiting for.

Here is the first in my mention of one of my illnesses. Budget DVD. While the major companies out there much like cd have decided to over inflate prices and make as much of a buck off them as possible. There are more and more fly by night companies picking up on public domain and cheap license movies and putting them out to be found at your local dollar store and Wal-Mart like establishment.
**Wild Guitar/The Beatniks double feature (Price 1.00)
Wild Guitar- is the typical boy goes to Hollywood to be a singing star. Boy meets girl. Boy hooks up with girl. Boy hooks up with crooked manager. Boy gets even with manager. And boy was the ending a bit of a shock. The movie was directed by Ray Dennis Steckler who would go on to direct The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies!!? As well as enough exploitation and porn to keep Something Weird Video in business for 30 or so years. Look for the dance numbers of Carolyn Brandt (Steckler's wife) and if nothing else the movie is worth its weight for incidental music. You will get good chuckle out of the movie and believe me there is the attempt to try here.
The Beatniks- Although falling with in the world of crap it is not again for lack of trying. I know most people might say I am to kind but really it seems like they where trying here. The story is that of a young man who leads a group of thugs (ne beatniks). The guy is heard singing by a passing through agent while singing to the jukebox. The agent offers the young man the chance of a life time. In turn a pot full of crabs story line ensues with the gang trying to keep our hero from succeeding and bettering himself. Again another bit of a swerve ending. Look for the incredibly over the top but still entertaining performance of Peter Breck as Moon the second in command. Although I can not be sure of it I would almost venture to say that Crispin Glover used this part as preparation for Layne in the River's Edge. Both these movies have the distinction of making an appearance on Mystery Science Theater 3000
