After 2 Decades, Pink Still a Rockstar Drinking and My Relationship with My Father ARAB TIMES, THURSDAY, MAY 27, 2021 NEWS/FEATURES 13 People & Places Books ‘Acting save my life’ McCarthy ‘taps’ into 80s era with memoir NEW YORK, May 26, (AP): Andrew McCarthy admits he “fl ed” from his shaggy-haired 1980’s per- sona and didn’t look back for decades. Much like the slouchy blazers he wore in movies like “Pretty in Pink” and “St. Elmo’s Fire,” that Brat Pack moni- ker and image never really fi t. But time has put a soft fi lter on that era for the actor and he’s ready to refl ect on his early days as a movie star in his new memoir, “Brat: An 80’s Story,” which debuted ear- lier this month. Now a TV director, acclaimed travel writer, and best-selling author, McCarthy has been busy in re- cent years, if under the radar. He decided it was the right time to look back on his early life in acting and share stories about his adven- tures in Hollywood, compli- cated family relationships, addiction and recovery. The book helps explain the evolution of the Brat Pack — a group of young actors in- cluding Molly Ringwald and Judd Nelson who dominated movies in the 1980’s and set cultural trends — and how McCarthy and others swept McCarthy into its vortex became the nostalgic “avatar of people’s youth.” In a recent interview with The Associated Press, he discussed reconciling his Brat Pack membership, his kids choosing to act, and which of his movies should be remade. Responses have been condensed for brevity and clarity. AP: Why write the book now? McCarthy: I think I probably grew up enough to look at it.

What started as an interactive abstract take on ping pong has morphed into a multi-billion dollar a year industry. When certain video game franchises started making oodles and oodles of money, Hollywood came a knockin' to adapt these beloved properties for the silver screen. Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, and Resident Evil notwithstanding, audiences didn't flock to the cinema to watch their interactive favorites writ large. However, they sell pretty well on DVD and Blu-ray and tend to be made on a meager budget. Thus, video game movies continue to be released. No director has made more live-action video game feature films than Uwe Boll. Holding a PhD in Literature from The University of Siegen, Dr. Boll has shot nearly a dozen of these pictures. It should be noted his full filmography is quite varied and not just limited to video game adaptations; his other movies are often dramas with political elements and shall be covered in two more forthcoming volumes: The Films of Uwe Boll Vol.

  • Hooked on Hughes
    Radboud University hooked on Hughes A feminist consideration of Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club and Pretty In Pink. Kelly Thijssen 3037320 American Studies – Bachelor Thesis Dr. Mathilde Roza 7 November 2016 Thijssen, 3037320/2 Abstract This thesis explores how John Hughes’s teen films Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, and Pretty in Pink reinforce traditional ideas about gender, class, sexuality, and race. Each film was subjected to a combination of narrative and semiotic analysis, revealing that patriarchal ideals are embedded in Hughes’ film language. The findings of each analysis were then interpreted in a segment of discussion using feminist theory and cultural criticism of bell hooks as a primary source.

    ‘COME DANCE WITH ME’ CAST BIOS ANDREW MCCARTHY (Jack) – At the age of 19, Andrew McCarthy made his screen debut in the feature film “Class,” paving the way for him to appear in more than 30 feature films, numerous television shows and more than two dozen live theater productions. One of the few actors working successfully and simultaneously in all mediums, McCarthy’s résumé is as extensive as it is versatile. It was during the 1980s that McCarthy gained recognition in Hollywood when he starred in such iconic films as “St. Elmo’s Fire” and “Pretty in Pink,” as well as the cult favorites “Mannequin” and “Weekend at Bernies.” The 90s saw him work with such esteemed directors as Claude Chabrol and John Frankenheimer and in films as varied as “The Joy Luck Club,” “Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle” and “Mulholland Falls” among others. McCarth co-starred in “Lipstick Jungle” as the billionaire Joe Bennett, alongside Brooke Shields, Kim Raver and Lindsay Price. In addition to co-starring in the series, McCarthy also directed two episodes in Season two.
