Ah, one of the golden oldies, right? We all know and love Axel Foley. Well, those of us older than 30 anyway. Beverly Hills Cop was one of the greatest films of that era, and which it has survived at least 4 sequels. And every sequel has been great too. Who doesn't like a good Eddie Murphy film. Word on the street is that another Beverly Hills cop is being made and Billy and Taggart are back. It's amazing! I think w…More
source I was dropped this trailer as an ad in a video I was watching. It's official release date was on December 14 so I am not sure if it was the exact day or within the first week that I saw it. All I knew was that a new Beverlyhills Cop movie was being released soon so I needed to get a refresher of the first three. I am not going to review all three at once because I think that would be doing the movie and those…More
Beverly Hills Cop (1984): Eddie Murphy in a memorable role. In this blog post i will try to present a review of a classic film that i watched during my childhood. Yep, possibly one of the best films in which Eddie Murphy showcased his acting career. There are many films in which he played several roles, proving his complexity as an actor. Norbit, Srekh, Coming to America....and many more, but one of them i really li…More
Wikipedia I wasn't born in the 80s but I was privileged to see some good movies from that era. And years after its release. *"Beverly Hills Cop"* remains one of my all time classics from the 80s of the action-comedy genre. The movie which is a full blend of humor, action, and heart make it a standout film for me and a proof to its quality. I believe the movie has had two sequels and countless other imitators, but no…More
The CineTV community reaches its fiftieth edition of its contest where depending on a different weekly theme we must make reviews of movies or TV series; this time is one that motivated me again to participate, since it is about a great era for cinema and it is in that decade where I had the opportunity to see a large number of films; the theme for the contest is "Favorite Iconic 80s Movie " and as you can see, this…More
Source The year is 1984 and the genre leading our cinema's are action packed Stallone and Arnie movies with comedy, in a roll that was initially written for Stallone but turned down and later given to Eddie Murphy is one of the most memorable films ever to grace our screens. The original good cop bad boy Alex Foley blesses our presence way before Will Smith came along in Bad Boys, hold onto that because a big reveal…More
As people grow older they tend to see their younger days through the rosy glasses of nostalgia. So, now 1980s are becoming the next golden age, and, consequently, Hollywood films made in that "golden era" are becoming fashionable again. This probably wouldn't please majority of film critics who see 1980s as the darkest period of American film history when general low quality of movies used to be in sharp contrast to…More
Or maybe Detroit? A mid 1980's action comedy movie that did have high level of violence and colourful language. Eddie Murphy plays the role very, very well. This was possibly the role that made Eddie Murphy more Hollywood mainstream. This is the type of movie where you enjoy the ride and don't take it too seriously, or least I don't take it that seriously. We have Axel Foley a Detroit cop that wasn't always a cop, h…More
