Corey Haim was simply amazing in 'Lucas'. This was a great film, with Tom Hulce, Kerri Green, Courtney Thorne-Smith, Jeremy Piven, Charlie Sheen, and Winona Ryder supporting Corey in one of his best performances. This movie takes its time, is solidly directed, and will break your heart. If you've never seen it... I recommend you do so.

Corey Haim December 23, 1971 - March 10, 2010: R.I.P.
He liked to listen to music on his headphones, and loved his SEGA. His best friend was Corey Feldman, and "Lucas" was a great film. He loved his family, and was always heartbroken over some girl. His favorite number was 22, and he loved all kinds of pizza, and junk food. He was super-nice to every single one of his fans, and he was always a professional on the set... off the set was another story altogether. I loved him like a brother, and the world will be emptier without him.
