November 2, 2014Boasting John Parr's number 1 hit, Man in Motion, 'St. Elmo's Fire' is a predominately pretentious film featuring several members of the Brat Pack including Rob Lowe, Judd Nelson, Demi Moore, Emilio Estevez, Andrew McCarthy, and Ally Sheedy. I'm not a big fan of the Brat Pack movies, but this one is OK. It features a drug addict (Moore), a career obsessed and adulteress politician (Nelson), a saxophone playing, alcoholic baby-daddy (Lowe), and a creepy stalker (Estevez), as well as some other seemingly normal folks, as a group of friends facing adulthood and the complications that come with it. Joel Schumacher directed this between 'DC Cab' starring Mr. T and 'The Lost Boys', one of the best vampire movies ever. Worth watching if you're a fan of 80's movies or you just feel like being nostalgic, but not necessarily a very good movie.
