Belinda Balaski (born December 8, 1947 in Inglewood, California) is an American actress. She is perhaps best known for her large supporting role in Joe Dante's The Howling (1981), and has continued to appear in most of Dante's films including an important role in Piranha and cameos in Gremlins, Gremlins 2: The New Batch, Matinee, and Small Soldiers. She co-stars in Food of the Gods and Bobbie Jo and the Outlaw both featuring Marjoe Gortner, and in Roger Corman's Cannonball! (directed by Paul Bartel) she plays navigator to Robert Carradine in a cross-country car race.
The Howling is a 1977 horror novel by Gary Brandner. It was the inspiration for the 1981 movie The Howling, although the plot of the movie was only vaguely similar to that of the book.
Brandner published two sequels of the novel, The Howling II during 1979 (later republished as Return of the Howling) and The Howling III: Echoes during 1985. Neither sequel was used as the basis for any of the subsequent Howling movies that includes Howling IV: The Original Nightmare and Howling V: The Rebirth.
The fourth movie of the series, Howling IV: The Original Nightmare made during 1988 is the closest adaptation of Brandner's original 1977 Howling novel, though even this differs in parts.
"The Food" is the first single by rapper Common released on his sixth album Be. Kanye West appears on the song's chorus and also produces the track. West samples "I Never Had It So Good" by The Chi-Lites and interpolates "Nothing Can Change This Love" by Otis Redding for the song's beat. In addition, DJ Dummy scratches on the song and Dave Chappelle introduces the live version of it. The song was originally performed live on Chappelle's Show on March 3, 2004. This live version is featured on Be, although a studio version does also exist.
It received mostly positive acclaim, but was not promoted heavily and did not chart. IGN.com writer Spence D. describes it as a "nice and mild burner that showcases the Chi-town duo's symmetry." Nathan Brackett of Rolling Stone states that it is one of the "hardest-rocking tracks of Common's career."
The Food of the Gods may refer to:
Belinda is a feminine given name of unknown origin, apparently coined from Italian bella, meaning "beautiful". Alternatively it may be derived from the Old High German name Betlinde, which possibly meant "bright serpent" or "bright linden tree".

Sam and Evan discuss why The Howling is an amazing and classic werewolf flick! It is referenced as having been filmed in 1980 in the end credits so forgive us for confusion (imdb says 1981). Also, we called the colony the community at one point but later correct ourselves.. again.. forgive.

Gremlins 3 - This week we have an exclusive interview with the main star of Gremlins also a sneak peek into the movie and how the cgi Mogwai will look. If you're a fan of the Gremlins franchise then you do not want to miss this. Gremlins is a 1984 American comedy horror film directed by Joe Dante and released by Warner Bros. The film is about a young man who receives a strange creature called a mogwai as a pet, which then spawns other creatures who transform into small, destructive, evil monsters. This story was continued with a sequel, Gremlins 2: The New Batch, released in 1990. Unlike the lighter sequel, Gremlins opts for more black comedy, balanced against a Christmastime setting. Both films were the center of large merchandising campaigns. Steven Spielberg was the film's executive pr...
