Eddie and the Cruisers
News person Maggie Foley (Ellen Barkin) suspects that a singer, Eddie Wilson (Michael Paré), has been missing for 19 years. In her search for Eddie, she interviews the other members of his band. Each member, in turn, visualizes what it was like when Eddie was alive. We go along for the ride in a series of flashbacks.
Not part of the original music, but fun to hear again, is “Runaway” by Del Shannon.
The story is fun to watch as it unfolds. It will only work for you if you like the particular music, as that is just as much a character of the movie as the people.

Eddie and the Cruisers II: Eddie Lives!
I am going to assume that you watched the first movie, “Eddie and the Cruisers” (1983). However, the sequel movie stands on its own.
Being a sequel, this is not as simple as just a new movie. People will come to it for different reasons. Some like the music of Beaver Brown. Some like the actors. Whatever your reason, you will not be disappointed.
In the early 60s, Eddie Wilson (Michael Paré) had one of the most popular bands. At the height of his dream of making perfect music, Eddie Wilson’s car was found in the river; however, his body was never found.
Flash-forward 20 years. The record company promotes the thought that Eddie might still be alive and plays a lot of his old recordings. This new girlfriend encourages him to try one more time at perfecting his music. We go a long way to follow his trials and tribulations. Will he succeed? Watch this movie and find out.
