R.I.P. Harold Ramis (1944-2014)

Famed director, writer, and actor Harold Ramis passed away at the age of 69 today. He was surrounded by family at the time of his passing. He was battling a rare illness called autoimmune inflammatory vasculitis, which is swelling of blood vessels.

 This man was a pioneer of modern age comedy starting with his roots as a writer on the classic Animal House and on. He gained entrance to all the nerds hearts on camera with his character Dr. Egon Spengler in Ghostbusters. Ramis had one hell of a funny mind and taste for humor on screen with classic many didn't know he directed including National Lampoon's Vacation, Caddyshack, and Groundhog Day. All great comedy classics in my book as well as all comedy fans. Not just fans that enjoy to watch them but to make them. He was big influences on current big comedians Jay Roach, Judd Apatow, and Seth Rogan, just to name a few. He will always be a pioneer and remembered for the work he has done to make us laugh and enjoy life.

Reports are coming in that Oscar-winning director/actor Phillip Seymour Hoffman was found dead in his Greenwhich Village apartment earlier today. He was only 46 years old...

Although, the full story of what happened to him has not been officially released yet, multiple sources are reporting he was found dead with a needle still in his arm. The New York Times cited law enforcement stated " “Investigators found a syringe in his arm and an envelope containing what is believed to be heroin.” 

He was found by close friend, screenwriter David Kraz, who was worried when he couldn't get in touch with Hoffman. Substance abuse is known with Hoffman, who had previously checked into rehab last summer to battle it. 

He will be remembered as one of the greatest actors of this generation with roles other than Oscar-winning Capote. He has a screen presents that will shock and awe anyone who watches this man perform. He made characters, that were forgettable, memorable for all. Reports are saying he only had 7 days left of filming of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 and 2. They will be released on set dates. 

He will be greatly missed.

R.I.P. Actress Brittany Murphy Dead at 32

Actress Brittany Murphy was declared dead after arriving to Cedars-Sinai Hospital in L.A. early Sunday morning. Various news sites have picked up on the report by tabloid news site TMZ that she went into full cardiac arrest and passed away. No news on the cause of this sad story. She was first put into
spotlight in Clueless at age 18. Then, gained more attention in the 2001 thriller Don't Say A Word, which gained her key roles in 8 Mile, and starring in comedy films like Just Married with Ashton Kutcher, Uptown Girls with Dakota Fanning and later in Little Black Book. She starred in Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller's Sin City with Bruce Willis.

As for her films currently in production, there hasn't been any news on them. IMDB list 5 films she is attached too. She is currently in post-production of Sylvester Stallone's The Expendables, Abandoned, and Something Wicked. These films will most likely get released with her in them, but her in production films Shrinking Charlotte and Poor Things are up in the air. If she filmed something for those films they may hire another actress to replace her or use her footage in some way, shape, or form.

I really loved her work and hope she enjoyed her short time here on Earth.
