I'm good mates with Corey Feldman. Have been for years. And right now, I really feel for the guy. His best friend has died of an overdose - a best friend he's many unresolved issues with. I'm going to give a day or two before I give Feldman a call, but buddy, if you're reading, I hope you're doing Okay. Just know Corey's in a better place now - a place where he's no longer living under a microscope.

Corey Haim was a good guy. I'd actually been working on two films with him - one of which he was going to direct (a really, really sweet movie that would've put him back on the map), the other, a fun little comedy. Yes, he was troubled. Yes, he made some really bad decisions. And yes, he had a drug problem. But that only made him more human.

I don't remember the first time I saw Corey on the big screen - though I'm guessing it was in "The Lost Boys", which I saw at a small under-crowded theatre on the Border in 1987. Didn't quite know what to expect from the film, but I loved it. And Haim (and Feldman) were the stand-outs. I'll be forever saddened that "Lost Boys 2" didn't work out the way Haim, and those that'd hoped he'd stayed clean enough to participate in the film, wanted it too. But it was just wasn't meant to be.

But I digress. Haim did some great movies - "Lucas", "License to Drive" (one of the funniest teen-comedies of the 80s), "Murphy's Romance", "Silver Bullet" et al. His most entertaining effort of recent times would be the short-lived "The Coreys", a reality series that fixed on the infamously rocky relationship between Haim and Feldman.

I don't know what else I can say at the moment....besides reiterating how deeply saddened I am that we've lost Haim, that we'll never see the terrific little film he was going to direct, that we'll never see the 'Two Corey's' together again on screen, and that my good friend never got to patch up things with his long-time buddy before he died.I also don't know who we're going to cast as Trey Bridges now... there was only one guy for the job, and he's gone. Gone too soon.

Rest in Peace Corey Haim. Thank you for Les Anderson.
