52 pick is great kevdug I even own the original UK cinema poster to it (above) so I definitely rate it,roy scheider (jaws) is really great in it also!
One last thing is I thought I'd warn you it's pretty sleazy in places ( not that there's anything wrong with that ) just that I didn't want you to watch it in the wrong company,say you invite the in-laws round or something and then to end up with you wanting to kill me!

Never seen - neon city atomik but it looks pretty cool,especially with michael ironside in it.
52 pick - up came out in 1986 kevdug,here's the trailer to it - https://youtu.be/7GpvpJ63Dnk - it came out on blu ray last year and I'm not sure how expensive it is but if you see it going cheap it's well worth the - pick up,just don't pay 52 bucks for it or it will be a 52 pick - up

And in the early 80s, Gaynes more seriously hunted after Luke and Laura on General Hospital as Frank Smith, showing he could handle dramatic roles as well--but for me, he'll always be the hapless Commandant Lasard above all else, leaving us wondering how the man got his badge in the first place.

Lassard always makes me smile and George was great in Micki & Maude.
Zulawski´s Possession is one of the scariest and craziest movies i´ve ever seen so i have to thank Andrzej for that. Perhaps La Femme Publique later this week...

Actor Tony Burton, best known for playing the role of Duke in no less than 6 entries in the Rocky franchise, passed away on february 25th at the age of 78.
Burton played lots of supporting roles throughout his career in movies such as Assault On Precinct 13, The Shining, and Armed And Dangerous, as well as numerous TV series, including The A-Team, Airwolf, The Fall Guy, and Twin Peaks.
Reportedly Burton was offered to play the role of Duke once again in Creed (2015), but his failing health prevented him from doing so.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-35693198 - George Kennedy has sadly passed away aged 91,always liked him and thought he was a really great actor and someone I'd imagine to be a pretty down to earth and cool celebrity!

You just had to love him as Captain Ed Hocken, in which he complimented Leslie Nielsen perfectly.

RIP Burton and Kennedy. I remember Burton very well from Rocky films and Assault. And who hasn´t heard of George Kennedy. He seemed to be in every other film back in the day.

Keith Emerson, one of the founding members of progressive rock group Emerson, Lake and Palmer, has died in what police are treating as a suspected suicide.
The keyboardist died at the age of 71 at his home in Santa Monica, Los Angeles on Thursday night, the band confirmed.
Sergeant Erika Aklufi said an investigation was looking in whether he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
I remember him best from Dark Man (1990) and Dark Night of the Scarecrow (1981).
