Jack Black Once Shared His Unhappiness Over Stranger Things 4 Character Eddie Munson’s Death ( Photo Credit – Instagram; IMDb ) There is hardly a soul who has not watched Netflix’s hit series Stranger Things. Kung Fu Panda 4 star Jack Black is one of those fans who got hooked on the show and was visibly upset when a fan-favorite character died in Season 4. Yes, we are talking about Eddie Munson, played brilliantly by the British actor Joseph Quinn. The Millie Bobby Brown, Winona Ryder, Finn Wolfhard-led series…

Chalk me up as cautiously optimistic. After seeing the new trailer for Eddie Murphy’s return to the famed Beverly Hills Cop franchise, coming soon to Netflix, I’m starting to allow myself to believe that Murphy, director Mark Molloy, and screenwriters Will Beal, Tom Gormican, and Kevin Etten possess enough respect for the first two movies in the saga (forget Beverly Hills Cop III, completely), and are delivering another worthy story with this beloved character. Watch the trailer, and let’s dig into what it shows. Legacy…

Eddie Murphy said “yes” to Beverly Hills Cop 4 after finally finding happiness in its script after decades. Judge Reinhold was always psyched to return, and so were John Ashton as well as Paul Reiser, who were eager to take part after sitting out Beverly Hills Cop 3. Be ready to see Bronson Pinchot back as Serge as well. But in case the recently released teaser of the film hasn’t killed your lethargically flickering hope for Ronny Cox making a comeback as Captain Andrew Bogomil and navigating a fresh batch of chaos with…

Cue the synths: After almost 30 years, Eddie Murphy’s Axel Foley will return to the beat with Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F set to hit Netflix next summer.  The long-awaited fourth installment of the hit cop-comedy franchise got its first teaser today. It doesn’t give anything away in terms of plot, but there are shootouts, car chases, wanton destruction, and bits like a Beverly Hills mother making her child take influencer pics and Murphy joking about getting arrested not once, but twice. …

Even though Eddie Murphy is no longer the surefire box office winner he once was, everything he does still manages to trigger the same heights of hype. So, it is no wonder that his first Xmas film, Candy Cane Lane, particularly the queries investigating the location authenticity of the said lane  Available on Amazon Prime Video post its debut on the streamer on Dec. 1, 2023, Candy Cane Lane is getting the spotlight despite failing to be the critics’ favorite. The film sees Muprhy as a desperate family man without a job…

When Mick Jagger needed a guitarist back in 1988 who could effortlessly play parts originated by Keith Richards, Brian Jones, and Mick Taylor, he called up Joe Satriani. Five years later, when Deep Purple needed to airlift in a guitarist at the last second after Ritchie Blackmore quit the band, they also went with Satriani. And when Alex Van Halen wanted someone that could somehow stand in for his brother Eddie Van Halen on a possible 2022 tribute tour with David Lee Roth, he too reached out to Satch. The Van…

It’s December 1st and the holiday season is just getting started with the most Christmas-y movie starring Eddie Murphy called Candy Cane Lane. As the Christmas film star has ten children of his own, I can only imagine how populous his holiday will be this year. After talking about sharing the Christmas holiday with his ten children, this, of course, led to Murphy being asked about any advice he has for Nick Cannon, who has more than two handfuls of his own children.Christmas is a wonderful opportunity to bring the whole…

We’re in the process of getting snowed in by flimsy festive fodder, most of which is indistinguishable – cheaply made, poorly written, floating on the assumed Christmas spirit of those watching – but there are moments when it’s easy to get naively hopeful. Seeing the involvement of Eddie Murphy in Amazon’s Candy Cane Lane is one such moment, the actor not only a key reason why Trading Places remains a December staple but a star who brightens whatever film he’s in, regardless of the season. It might have been a while since…

Eddie Murphy did not keep his dislike for Beverly Hills Cop sequels a secret, and openly used carefully selected adjectives like “mediocre” and “atrocious” to describe the second and third films. But there is no denying that it was playing Axel Foley that gave the young comic and SNL alum’s movie-acting career the kickstart it desperately needed. As Beverly Hills Cop II (which managed to almost replicate the success of the first part, while repeating its plot) came out in 1987, and the underperforming third part was…
