 Eddie and the Cruisers October 12, 2008
The Eddie and the Cruisers movies 1 and 2 are highly under rated and worth watching particularly if you enjoy rock music. The acting is very good and even my 9 year old daughter thought it was excellent to the point of watching it again immediately after the first viewing.
Eddie and the Cruisers(1983) /Eddie and the Cruisers II October 9, 2008
I want to tell you this was a cool flick, maybe double cool.
The II was just has good as the first.
(Please note this doesn't happen all the time)
I also bought the cd for the movie, rock out on the way to and from work.
Highly reccomend. MRS DEZ
One of the coolest... September 28, 2008
Maybe it's because I'm a working musician, but I really enjoyed both the Eddie & the Cruisers films. I can relate to some of the frustrations experienced by Eddie Wilson.
The story and the music rocks!
 The Eddie Collection September 27, 2008
Great collection. however the audio transfer lacks bottom end (Bass) especially in the music. Picture transfer is great.
Can't help myself September 15, 2008
I love Eddie and the Cruisers (1983) / Eddie and the Cruisers II: Eddie Lives! (1988)(Totally Awesome 80s Double Feature). I was a bit disappointed that I got two movies on one disc, but that's okay since I wanted both movies. Tom Berringer can act, and he carried this film with help from the other actors. I think they had a good script to work from, and actors that can carry and play off one another.
The first movie was music driven and full of angst. You began to travel through the memories with the piano player and find things he wasn't aware of, or was just too naive to accept as true. It's a surprise ending that you suspect, but can't really believe.
The second movie, also music driven, is hokey. The acting by some of the characters is stilted, and fake by others. Michael Pare, although he is nice to look at (I mean it girls this is sex on two legs), can't seem to pull off the angst ridden character like he did the first time. He also has no help with the acting as the other characters are self absorbed and and talk like they don't believe in the character they are playing. The music sequences are fun and the end of the movie almost reaches what the movie strives for. I would have bought this movie separately because it's a sequel to the first, but in this case I'm glad I don't have to.
But for all that I just can't help myself. It's like watching a train wreck, you just can't look away. And for some reason that I'm not even sure of - I love these movies.
