    Adam Schlesinger.

    Probably most famous for his poppy tune "Stacey's Mom" but he earned an Oscar nod for writing the main theme for the 1997 film "That Thing You Do". He also composed and produced songs for several films. Another one taken by the dreaded CoViD19

    Shirley Douglas

    Had some movie parts, most notably hunting dinosaurs in Barney's Great Adventure, but is probably more known in the movie business as the mother of Kiefer Sutherland and ex-wife to Donald Sutherland.

    The death was announced by Kiefer Sutherland on Twitter

    Worked with some interesting directors ...
    A native of Weyburn, Saskatchewan, Douglas worked with famed directors including Stanley Kubrick ("Lolita") and David Cronenberg ("Dead Ringers"), and won a Gemini Award for her performance in the 1999 TV film "Shadow Lake."
    ... and came from an interesting political family too.
    Daughter of Irma May (Dempsey) and Tommy Douglas, Saskatchewan Premier from 1944 to 1961, the first Leader of the NDP, from 1961 to 1971, and the founder of Canada's Medicare.

    Jay Benedict who played Newt's dad in Aliens has died aged 68 due to Corona related complications. He also had roles in The Dark Knight Rises and the VanDamme cheese fest, Double Team. More recently he was in Emmerdale apparently.

    Sad news from Japan that Nobuhiko Obayashi has died - best known as the director of the cult masterpiece House (Hausu). One of the my favourite films thanks to its mix of wild colour, tonal insanity and ghoulishly surreal comedy. His recent late work Hanagatami is also well worth a look - that beyond hyper-stylised aesthetic of House ramped up further in service of a really fascinating epic melodrama.

    Hilary Heath passed last week due to COVID-19 complications. In front of the camera, she was probably best known for starring alongside Vincent Price in Witchfinder General, The Oblong Box and Cry of the Banshee, as well as numerous other roles in TV, stage, and cinema. She turned producer in the 90s, making films like Nil by Mouth and An Awfully Big Adventure. On top of all that, she obtained a Masters in psychology from Oxford, and worked as an addiction counsellor. She was 74.

    He was perfectly cast in Gorky Park, the right amount of menace, even when he smiled. RIP.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Loved Brian Dennehy one of my favorites since childhood.


    I was always delighted when I saw a new Jack Reed TV film in my local video store.


    I saw him in The Iceman Cometh at the Abbey back in the 90's.

    Am amazing actor.
    I remember seeing him in To Catch A killer, about John Gacy.
    He so easily played the role of this evil man, that it took me ages to get him out of my mind.

    Requiescat In Pace.

    Loved him. Cop, lawyer or alcoholic his films are brilliant. I can never remember which of the made for tv ones is which (the titles are so classic trye movie) but the Jack Reed ones stand out. A Killing in a Small Town is on youtube and also recommended.

    Saw that production also in Castlebar. He was typically good in it, though the adaption was ordinary enough I thought.

    Following 'Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines' I was going to include Stuart Whitman, 92, on the veterans list; however, it transpires he also passed, just a month ago. Had parts in The Commancheros, The White Buffalo, plus a couple of episodes of the A-team among others.

    He was fantastic in Jurassic World. He cuts a great classical heroic figure as he pilots the helicopter out... and then disaster - the ropiest CGI helicopter I've seen in a big budget movie in years.

    Talvar is on Netflix. I see it mentioned on lists of his best movies.

    Liked him also in The Namesake where he plays the father, and in The Lunchbox which is such a gentle movie.

    Thanks for posting that - I didn't realise that it was him that was in The Lunchbox.

    The Lunchbox is a good gentle romance - well worth a watch. (I think that it's a remake of an American film, but I can't remember which one). It had been on Netflix, but I don't think that it is any longer.

    Nimrat Kaur who plays the woman in it, also has a role as an ISI agent in Homeland - and she said that it was her role in The Lunchbox that got her the role in Homeland.
