R.I.P. Corey Haim
I am was very sad to wake up early this morning and hear the news that actor Corey Haim had passed away. He was a cute boy actor who had a big part in my childhood and I watched so many of his movies and I did follow the ups and downs he went through. I will always remember Corey Haim's hotline commercials at the peak of his Teen Beat days, and I am sad I never got to make a call. (What girl didn't have a crush on this cute guy?) I love so many of his movies like THE LOST BOYS, and LICENSE TO DRIVE and then he did films like FAST GETAWAY (with Cynthia Rothrock), DREAM MACHINE and WATCHERS which I remember renting from VIDEO ART. One of my favorites of Corey's is PRAYER OF THE ROLLERBOYS which I saw in the theaters the Friday it came out.
For all these movies Corey Haim will have a fond memory in my heart and that's how I'll remember him, the cute, funky guy who was quite silly and charming on the big screen.

Very sad to hear. CRANK: HIGH VOLTAGE proved that in spite of everything, the guy still had the chops to give an entertaining performance, and it would've been cool to see some more from him. Going over his resume, wow, I guess I took it for granted just how many of his flicks were a part of my childhood -- PRAYER OF THE ROLLERBOYS and LICENSE TO DRIVE being particular faves. R.I.P.

Heck, I can even remember his short-lived TV series "ROOMIES" with Burt Young, a blatant BACK TO SCHOOL ripoff that was still made pleasant by Young's gravitas and Haim's charm. He made plenty of bad choices in his adulthood, but in the end, he'll have that sweet body of work for us to remember him.
