Fright Night 2011 Comic Con Panel & Interviews

It looks like Colin Farrell loves his remakes. Not only is he in Fright Night, he is also in Total Recall, and did both panels at Comic Con 2011.  The original Jerry Dandridge also has a cameo in this new remake.  Watch the interview with Chris Sarandon for more information.  No information though on what the music score sounds like though, so let's wait and see.  It does sound like that they have incorporated some homages to the original in this remake so it may turn out better than expected, but you never know, as Sidney Prescott says in Scream 4 to the villian, "You forgot the first rule of remakes: Don't fuck with the original".  Nevertheless, this movie has got the legendary David Tennant aka Doctor Who so its bound to be good whenever he is on screen.

Lost Classics - Keta Bill - Hold On (1987) - Beverly Hills Cop 2 - Hef Loves It

Another lost classic, it beggars belief how this one has never been released, given the fact it features during the infamous Playboy mansion scene in Beverly Hills Cop 2.  This is the original version of "Hold On" by Keta Bill which is a million times better than the Corey Hart version.

You can picture the funny guy in the tuxedo pulling off his hilarious dance moves with the playboy bunnies while Axel tells his pals to follow their dicks and find the bad guys.  Even the dirty old Hef makes a cameo in this classic piece of cinematic extravagance.

Both versions are featured in the movie, you can even hear Corey Hart's version very faintly during one of the scenes with the 3 main characters.

As to why this legendary classic has never been released remains a mystery.  The best song from the movie and its not even on the soundtrack.  Worse than that, none of Harold Faltermeyer's scores have been released for either the first or second movie which is unnacceptable.

Anyway, enjoy this lost classic, its not perfect quality, but Keta Bill herself gave this out a few years back, so the fact we even have this is a miracle in itself.

Lost Classics: Looking For Love - Shakedown (1988) - Jonathan Elias

Isn't it stupid how great songs are never released? This is a good example of a song which features at the end of Shakedown (1988), also known as Blue Jean Cop, and a movie starring Mr Robocop himself,  Peter Weller. 

The music score was done by Jonathan Elias (Vamp, Tuff Turf), and had some great tracks on there.  The end credits song however has never been released in any format.  It was composed by Jonathan Elias himself and features some unknown singer "Nikki Ryder" on vocals, in fact most people aren't even sure if its a female or male voice on vocals! Sounds like John Waite.

Here is the track though ripped from the dvd to enjoy, a classic soundtrack song.
