The Iceman: Scarier Than Fiction

If the movie The Iceman is half as riveting as listening to the real Iceman, Richard Kuklinski, then we’re in for a very scary movie.

Kuklinski was the 6 foot 5 inch, three hundred pound hitman, who claimed to have killed over 100 men between 1948 and 1986Kuklinski was finally convicted of five murders in 1988 and sentenced to consecutive life sentences.  In 2003, Kuklinski pled guilty of the murder of NYPD detective Peter Calabro.

Kuklinski, once incarcerated was never one to shy away from talking about his killings.  His matter of fact discussions of brutal and sadistic killings was chilling and without remorse.  Kuklinski died in prison on March 5, 2006.  He had been scheduled to testify that Sammy Gravano had ordered the hit on Detective Calabro.  After Kuklinski died, the case against Sammy Gravano was dropped.

Ruin

Wow!

Have you seen Ruin by Wes Ball?  Amazing, huh?

Ruin is better than a lot of stuff that makes it to the big screen.  Wes Ball is a name to watch.  While we’re keeping an eye out for names, let’s add Kevin Riepl to the list for his excellent score.

New 3 Stooges Trailer, uh, Hits

The new trailer for The Three Stooges has, uh, hit.

It’s no secret that I’m a Stooges fan, heck, aren’t all guys?  Before you click on the link below, let me warn you: There’s one mild profanity and it’s followed by a lot of slaps, punches, eye-pokes, and falls that aren’t that funny.  I did smile though when I saw the look on Curley’s face at Larry’s prolonged yell when the lobster got a hold him.

Now that you’ve been warned, click away, if you’d like to see the new Three Stooges trailer.

Rare Photos of Marilyn Monroe

The photo above is just one of 25 rarely seen photos of Marilyn Monroe that Julien’s Auction House is selling.  The photos come from the private collection of Ms. Monroe’s long time makeup artist and personal confidant, Allan “Whitey” Snyder.

It’s hard to believe if Marilyn Monroe was still alive she’d be almost 86 years old.  Instead of growing old, Marilyn Monroe will remain an ageless icon.  Whitey Snyder captured that beauty in those rare pictures [a couple of which were taken on location when Ms. Monroe was filming River of No Return with Robert Mitchum].
