Mike's Murder DVD



Here's the DVD that I was talking about. I've included a review from Amazon
and I think the trailer is on youtube also. From what I remember it's worth checking out.

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
This film isn't really about Mike (Mark Keyloun), whose fate is revealed by the title, but about Betty (Debra Winger, An Officer and a Gentleman). Mike is the bank teller's blow-dried tennis instructor. They have a bit of a thing for each other. All she knows is that he's cute and that he's a low-level dealer. What she doesn't know is that he's in way over his head. When Mike is murdered, Betty tries to put the pieces together at the same time his drug-addled partner, Pete (Darrell Larson), tries to avoid the same fate. Powerful record producer Phillip (Paul Winfield) helps to fill in the blanks of Mike's mysterious past, but easy answers won't be forthcoming. Revised several times and shelved by the studio until Terms of Endearment re-established Winger's star status, Mike's Murder had a difficult gestation. Despite praise from a few critics, there were others who panned the deliberately paced thriller (some found it confusing, some found it dull), and it was a commercial disappointment. In the decades to come, however, its critical fortunes would slowly begin to turn around. While rarely as compelling as Lawrence Kasdan's steamy Body Heat, which is also set in LA, or Paul Schrader's prickly Light Sleeper, Mike's Murder effectively conjures up a sense of menace. Written and directed by James Bridges (The China Syndrome), Oscar winning composer John Barry (Out of Africa) is behind the moody score, while Night and Day-era Joe Jackson provides a smattering of piano-based pop songs. -- Kathleen C.

Eminence Front-The Who

I was going thru some old videos to find some music for my ipod and I ran across this song. I'm not a real "Who" fan, but this song really appeals to me. In fact so much that I listened to it over and over. For some reason, I think that it was in the background of some murder/mystery movie. I checked with IMDB and didn't come up with what I thought. What I thought was "Mike's Murder", it was on HBO years and years ago. Freaky, but intriguing movie. I guess now it's out on DVD.

The Healing Codes

I just heard about this and wondering if all the testimonials are true. If you look at Amazon.com you'll see tons of reviews. What I gather is that you say a prayer and focus the energy in your hands to 4 points on the body.
The book is reasonably priced but they have a more detailed version at their website http://thehealingcodes.com/ and http://thesecretdoctor.com/that is much more expensive.

You know that I explore all kinds of healing modalities and bring the best to the blog. I'll let you decide. There is a demonstration on youtube.com that will give you an idea about how it works.
