And I'm not gonna try and review this beauty. Instead, I want to share with you something I didn't realize when I was going in to the theater:
Tom Atkins is in this motherfucker.
Yeah. Tom Atkins. He's still around and kicking all the shit out of bad guys. In honor of his surprise (to me) role in this film, I now give you the top 8 reasons I love Tom Atkins:
He plays Rehme in
He plays Stan in
He plays Dr. Dan Challis in
He plays Frank McCrae in
He plays Michael Hunsaker in
He plays Detective Ray Cameron in
He plays Nick Castle and (sleeps with Jamie Lee Curtis) in
And, of course, he made my heart happy by playing Sheriff Burke in
Thank you, Tom!
And you, reader, must go and have a good time asap at My Bloody Valentine 3-D. Just look at this picture I had a stranger take of me when I exited the theater with my 3-D specs still on and a bag of Watchmen (!) popcorn:
That's joy on my face.

No!
But it looks about right to me. I'd maybe even toss in Corey Feldman. He's in a surprisingly large number of '80s horror.
Corey especially counts if you consider "Rock N Roll High School Forever" a horror movie. I do.
Kiel, I JUST bought "RARHS Forever" on DVD for two bucks ... haven't watched it yet, though.
Haim had a decent horror resumé, too; can't best Lost Boys and Silver Bullet.
D'oh ... can't BEAT, I mean.
JT, don't forget Gremlins, Friday the 13th and the Burbs! Feldman fever!
I bought RARHS Forever on tape for a dollar and it was so bad I had to turn it off. Madness.
I'm talkin' 'bout Haim here, baby! "Watchers"! "Prayer of the Rollerboys"! And he's in "Crank 2," apparently!
But Feldman's the better horror Corey, fo' sho-rey.
I got Prayer of the Roller Boys for a buck on VHS, too!
But i can't get Sam to sit down and watch it with me. sigh.
Oh man, Jesse...wait until you see his band perform "I'm Walkin" at the school dance!
