Brats (2024)
Has anybody read the Blum article?
There are those here who truly enjoyed this Documentary solely for having brought them back to a time that was really special. That's great. Then there are others who also enjoyed that time period, such as I, but cannot fathom what the heck is, and has Andrew been thinking all these years. Is he well?
I just read a review from North Shore Movies. Here is an excerpt:
"Indeed, re-reading the piece after watching the movie, it's amusing to note that McCarthy is barely mentioned in it at all. Ranking the Brat Pack members beneath unofficial "President" Estevez, Blum lists Cruise, Rob Lowe, Judd Nelson, Timothy Hutton, Matt Dillion, Nicolas Cage and Sean Penn, while making no note of McCarthy until the fifth-to-last paragraph of the muti-page piece. The article itself is mostly a chronicle of callow young Hollywood kids trying to pick up chicks and being too naïve to know they shouldn't be behaving like drunken bozos in front of a journalist. A saucy read, but hardly career-ending stuff."
In other words, Andrew McCarthy's apparent ramblings that the article hampered him, if not downright ruined his career, borders on delusional considering the success of all the others given more attention in the article.
Relax Andrew. The Brat Pack slogan is one of the reasons many of us liked you even more so in your very fine performances in very good movies. Geez, I thought it was cool as heck-'THE BRAT PACK!!!
Influencer (2022)
The ending makes perfect sense.
I have never written a review before but feel compelled to do so due to many of the reviewers' misunderstanding, or better yet their dislike for the "so-called" perceived incredulous ending.
CW went back to the island to ditch another body. She noticed excessive notch marks in the wood denoting Madison was possibly still alive. People question how Madison could still be alive. Well, the Englishman at the bar told her boyfriend the picture he showed him was in the wrong time frame because it was the rainy season thus giving Madison the drinking water she needed to survive. People can survive with just water and no food for up to 4 to 5 weeks.
Very good and plausible ending.
