Fuente I didn't really experience the 80s, since I was born right in the middle of it, in 1985. Therefore, the decade I remember most vividly is the 90s. However, I perfectly recall the TV reruns of several iconic 80s movies, and one of my favorites was Coming To America, better known in Spanish as "Un Príncipe en New York." So you can imagine the wave of nostalgia I felt when I found this gem on Netflix 😄. For me,…More

Growing up, you’d either watched Coming to America at least, once, or every kid in school would assume you were living under a rock! Lol. That’s how popular the movie was and safe to say, I watched it multiple times on our DVD player back then till the cassette could no longer play a scene without glitch. And when smart TVs came in, trust that I had to download the movie and watch it over and over again to the point…More

I thought it'd be a bit difficult to think of the movies I've seen that were based in New York City but while I was just about to think of them, a few of them came playing in my head... Says a lot how well NYC was portrayed in them. Deciding which one of them to submit as my entry for this week's prompt became the only challenge I had. Just so you would have more options if you're looking for movies based in NYC, I…More
Ah, old memories. Coming to America is perhaps a film that would never see the light of day in this day and age. Thinking about it realistically I mean these are black people working honest jobs and doing well for themselves. Can't have that, I mean, this is counter-narrative. And a black prince? With money? Goodness, get this off the TV now before the wokeys start frothing at the mouth. Anyway, since the time of ye…More
America may have serious problems, but for many people outside borders it is still the Promised Land supposed to solve their existential and other issues. It was even more so in late 1980s, when the world’s soon-to-be sole remaining superpower had irresistible attraction for global masses. This sentiment was not only promoted by Hollywood, but also served as basis of one of its most popular comedies, *Coming to Amer…More

This is one of my favorite films from the 80’s and was one of Eddie’s more family friendly films as well. Long before Black Panther, there was a story about another fictional affluent African country. Coming to America is about a crown prince to the nation of Zamunda named Akeem Joffer (Eddie Murphy.) A man who has everything that money can buy but desires to find a wife that will appreciate him for who he is instea…More

What comes to mind whenever this movie title pops up? For me, it is' " Good Morning My Neighbors, F@ck You! " When you are looking for movies which deserve "archive" placements, This is indeed one of them. It was really made right. The script was so good, so much that MJ had to depict it in one of his music videos. Eddie Murphy on the other hand was on top of his game for this one. Till this day, everyone in my hous…More
