VHS Movie Reviews of Eddie and the Cruisers II: Eddie Lives! [VHS]
Movie Review: love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love the music. As an artist, I also love the movie's attempt to convey the passion that goes into art of any kind. Cheesy? I don't see that. Sure, it won't win awards for acting or anything like that, but it conveys an important message that--to me--goes beyond a script. And, it does it well. My VHS copy is wearing out, and I want the DVD soon! Eddie lives, yes, but more than that, the spirit that this movie conveys lives in all art that comes from passion and a dedication to profound self-expression. Movie Review: Past-Present-Future
Summary: 5 Stars
Growing up in that era of the 60's,music was always there,we just had to listen more.By watching the video today,re-lives our memories of days gone by,but not forgotten.Very well portrayed with the appropriate actors,congratulations-for taking the time and patience to put a movie together,about a 60's rocker who came from jersey.Eddie Wilson's music was one of a kind,that is unique,in this day and age.Keep up the great work,looking forward to more of his movies.Movie Review: MUSIC, MUSIC, MUSIC
Summary: 4 Stars
I don't give 5 stars easily and won't to this film...but it deserves a 3/4 star added to the 4 I gave it. I loved the first Eddie and when this came out, I was disappointed, I really didn't like it, but to be fair I decided to watch it a second time. I must admit, it bit me...because I can watch Eddie Lives over and over while I can only enjoy the first Eddie every so often. The music of John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band is fantastic in both films, but it seems so much more alive in the Eddie Lives. I think it would be interesting to see what they could do with a third edition to the saga, now that Eddie is back into the music scene and older, what do you think, it could be interesting to see the developement in his character. I only have one other thing to add to this...PLEASE BRING "EDDIE LIVES" OUT IN DVD...IT IS WAY TO LONG OVERDUE!!!! Movie Review: Eat your heart out!

I love this movie! I have it on Laser Disc (p/s) and will not part with it. I am also waiting for the DVD.Movie Review: It's Only Rock & Roll
Summary: 2 Stars
If it wasn't for John Cafferty's energetic music,Eddie And The Cruisers II would be a total loss.So many times movies about rock bands go south because too much false melodrama and tension are added to pad out the story and plot.Films like the original Eddie And The Cruisers,Light Of Day,Thunder Alley and Breaking Glass are major culprits in that regard,while movies like That Thing You Do!,School Of Rock and The Commitments get it right by making the rock & roll experience fun and something you'd want to be involved with.Eddie II is actually a better film than Eddie I,but that's not saying much.Who would want to be in a band with a brooding (...) dictator of a musician like Eddie Wilson in the first place?He's talented but he's also a major jackass.And why hasn't he aged in 20+ years?He looks fantastic for a guy in his early 50's.Maybe it's the fake sideburns.The whole plotline of the tormented rock star who's inferiority complex drove him to fake his own death is really stretching it.Why didn't he just get a drug addiction and do it for real?Michael Pare doesn't display much range in these films either.He's either sad or mad and has fewer facial expressions than even Keanu Reeves.Besides the music,the only appeal the Eddie films have for this viewer is the Cheese Factor.These movies are so cheesy and bad that they're really fun to watch.Whenever I see 'em on cable I never miss 'em.Eddie lives indeed.
