Bad Influence is the only movie whose soundtrack has a Skinny Puppy song on it (Who's Laughing Now? which makes good use of some soundbites from The Evil Dead II).
It's a little known fact that Tom Hanks was in The Bonfires of the Vanities. Same year he did that Meg Ryan romance. James Spader from The Blacklist also starred in White Palace with Susan Sarandon. When he did Bad Influence that same year too.
As far as Joe Vs the Volcano, I did like it as a young one. But even then I liked the beginning much better, before he went to the island. The part when he goes off at work was funny. I wasn't sure if I had ever seen Bad Influence and just recently started watching on Prime. I'm almost done. But seeing it as an adult, and I hope this is what Gene meant by implausible, the Rob Lowe character isn't believable. At first he helps him. But then he goes through all that elaborate stuff to ruin his life??? Come on. It's not sadistic. It's silly.
Too bad she had the botched plastic surgery .. Her true aged face might have had dignity .. Some women age well .. That is where 'Grande Domes' come from .. Growing into mature roles .. TgT
