Around the late eighties news about Corey Haim's drug use was starting to circulate, and teen girls across the US were worried he was on his way to getting into serious trouble. Corey Haim: Me, Myself and I is Corey's attempt to take you in the scripted life of the actor himself. It's existence is questionable, unnecessary, and utterly ridiculous.This is a clearly scripted video diary with Haim's face to face with the camera interactions coming off very awkward, and suggesting he was under the influence while filming. Plus at the very end of the video we see the camera crew pack up. It doesn't even try to hide the fact that its fake.Haim was clearly forced to do this. He seems unfocused half of the show, and was probably forced to do this for his fans. The thing that annoyed me was when Haim would be interviewed, and be talking about his feelings on "kissing" and "sports" the interview would be interrupted by an unnecessary clip of Haim lounging on a raft, shirtless relaxing. The scenes were dragged on forever, and just all in all ridiculous.Corey Haim: Me, Myself & I is nearly unwatchable, and a sad end to the career of Haim himself. Sure he went on to do numerous films in the nineties, mostly humble Direct-to-VHS/DVD. But those were just forgettable, unrecognized films that were very cheaply made and now sold for pennies on Amazon. It's tragic to see Haim spiral to nothing after making a name for himself in the eighties, but false video diaries aren't the way to keep fans.Starring: Corey Haim. Directed by: William L Boyd and Brooke McCarter.
... View More1989 - what a fabulous year. i was 12, and hopelessly in love with one Corey Haim. i had his gorgeous face plastered to my wall, my locker, and all of my books. i owned all his movies - the two best of which are clearly "Dream a Little Dream" and "License to Drive", but don't diss "Lucas" or "Lost Boys". i pined for him. and part of that ritual was watching "Me, Myself and I" almost every single day.i mean, who wouldn't die over a guy that says: "I think maybe ten years from now, I'm hopefully going to be, in like, Tahiti or something. Kicking back like in my huge mansion, if everything goes right, it's all up to me. Just watching like the dolphins, and the porpoises and the sharks and the little sea horses and all that fun stuff go by in a whole different country, while things happen back here." Now that i am almost 29 and i am married, i still carry a torch for this trouble soul. i can only hope that he will end up resurrecting his career like Corey Feldman by going on The Surreal Life or Yes, But Can They Sing? aaaah Corey. i'll be loving you forever.
... View MoreMy teacher showed us this in class (Theatre of the Avant-Garde class) for no reason he just thought it was really funny. And it is really really funny, in a super pathetic way. Does Corey Haim really play tennis, hockey and baseball every day like his documentary claims he does? The best part is that he tries to show how important he is by showing how many crew members follow him around. It's obvious they're just laughing at him the entire time. (Asian guy snapping photos kills me!)And what was with him thinking he could compose music?? How many times can he say 'like' in one sentence!Where can I get this film I need to show it to my friends.
... View MoreThis movie came out a long time ago, so it might be difficult to find. But if you ever see it in Suncoast or on EBay or in your local video store, you definitely need to check this one out. It's the best! Corey Haim was my favorite actor ever back in the eighties.
