NICHOLAS LEA Fun Facts!

1). Nick Lea is well known for his role of Double Agent Alex Krycek on the X-Files.
2). His FIRST appearance on the show was in episode "GenderBender", as a surviving victim.
3). Nick went on to play Victor in the John Woo series "Once A Thief". There is an episode that has a pair of Scully/Mulder look-alike FBI agents. Victor calls the male agent "Spooky", and the agent responds "Who are you calling Spooky, RATBOY?" (or maybe it was "Don't call me Spooky, Ratboy!")

To read reviews of Fright Night by a friend and myself, click here: FRIGHT NIGHT Movie Review

It's disappointing that while Hollywood is obsessed with sequels, most sequels fail to do justice to the original. This seems to hold especially true for horror movies.
For example, "A Nightmare On Elm Street" is actually a fairly good, suspenseful, serious horror movie. The sequels, however, made the character of Freddy somewhat of a joke who does nothing but crack one-liners and try to come up with new ways to slash people.

"Your mission, should you choose to accept it..." is to rally together all talented writers, send them to Hollywood and help them to take over!


LIST OF MOVIE SEQUELS THAT WERE ACTUALLY AS GOOD AS THE ORIGINAL!
1). Terminator 2
2). Aliens
3). The Empire Strikes Back & Return of the Jedi
4). Indiana Jones & The Temple of Doom, & The Last Crusade
5). Godfather Part 2
6). Highlander 3
7). Jaws 2



LIST OF MOVIE SERIES WHERE THE ORIGINAL WAS WORSE THAN THE SEQUELS AFTER IT!
1). Friday the 13th
2). Evil Dead

Let me know if you can think of more!

Stardom greats I've followed closely
Closer than the nearest heartbeat
Longer than expected -- they were great --
Oh love oh love just to see them
Acting on the silver screen, oh my
Clark Gable, Fairbanks, Maureen O'Sullivan
Fantasy would fill my life and I
Love fantasy so much
Did you see in the morning light
I really talked, yes I did, to God's early dawning light
And I was privileged to be as I am to this day
To be with you. To be with you
-- From Jon and Vangelis' Friends of Mr.Cairo

"Imagination is more important than knowledge."
Albert Einstein

(According to SCREAM)
There are certain RULES that one must abide by in order to successfully survive a horror movie:
#1. You can never have sex. Sex equals death.
#2. You can never drink or do drugs. It's a sin. It's an extension of number one.
#3. Never, ever, ever -- under any circumstances -- say "I'll be right back", 'cause you won't be back.

Okay. That seems to make sense.
But here's my question:
What happens to a virgin who says "I'll be right back"?

Okay. Everyone can recall either a film class or a literature class where a film or book had to be picked apart for an assignment.
You had to look deep into every word/gesture to find hidden meanings and symbolism.
I always had a laugh at that, since I figured that most authors/directors didn't actually mean for most of what we could find in their work!
Anyway, I dug up some of my old film critiques to post here for your enjoyment. So.... ENJOY!
Vertigo ...... DIVA ...... Blade Runner ..... Taxi Driver
