In 1991, on Valentines Day no less, the Academy Award winning Best Picture "The Silence Of The Lambs" was released. It ushered in a new era in horror and solidified the monster Hannibal 'The Cannibal' Lecter in the halls of horror. The award winning performance by Sir Anthony Hopkins was reprised in the sequel "Hannibal" and the prequel "Red Dragon." He was earlier played by the fantastic Brian Cox in the now celebrated "Manhunter" ("Red Dragon" earlier adaptation) and was played one last time theatrically by Gaspard Ulliel in "Hannibal Rising," to little fanfare. After those later films, the saga was resurrected brilliantly in the television adaptation "Hannibal" and the legendary Dr. Lecter was portrayed with brilliance by Mads Mikkelsen.

With the passing of many of our beloved horror icons (recently "Creature From The Black Lagoon"s Julie Adams left us), let's be grateful to the stars above that our shock rock king Alice Cooper is not only around, but kicking @$$ to this day! LONG LIVE ALICE COOPER!!!

I would believe for any actor, receiving a leading role because you were the best actor in the group gives you great satisfaction. Such was the case for "Night Of The Living Dead" star Duane Jones. The casting itself became groundbreaking and Mr. Jones lived up to the confidence of his director George A. Romero. The release of the first modern Zombie film in the era of post segregation in the late 1960's America made this film one for the ages. An important film with an important performance from Mr. Jones. Happy birthday Duane Jones and thank you for blazing the trail for others. The film and your performance will live on...
