The Career of Eddie Murpy: from good to bad Part 3

Another 48 Hrs.: Reggie Hammond is back. I’ve stated before that I liked this movie a lot. And, the ending is pretty funny. Eddie looks a little heavier, and he’s come out said so. Some say Eddie looks bored here, but I don’t see it. The bus attack is very well done, but the strange techno cowboy bar is a little strange. There are some good moments too. Plus, it was cool that they made the main villain one of the minor characters from the first movie. I think it is a good follow up to the first movie.

Boomerang: I really enjoyed this one too. Halle Berry looks cute and Robin Givens is stunning. Murphy had a lot to do with the production. He has a story credit. The supporting cast is great too. Martin Lawrence and David Alan Grier are great as his friends. Grace Jones and Chris Rock are wonderful too. How about that crazy Grace Jones ad?

Eddie:  "I want the knife...please."

The Distinguished Gentleman: I don’t think this turned out the way Eddie wanted it to. It is pretty mediocre and not that funny. I think this was when Eddie’s work started to waver bit. He seems to be sleepwalking through the movie. This movie comes on TV a lot, but I usually flip pass it.

Yes, that is that guy fromPerfect Strangers

Beverly Hills Cop III: Oh, no. This was the one that everyone knew was total shit. When you have George Lucas in for a cameo, you are in deep trouble. Then, there is a stupid Disney World stand-in called Wonder World. Who thought this was a good basis for a movie? Disney security guards are the main bad guys? Murphy is trying to make the best out of a shitty script, and it isn’t enough. They even killed off a franchise character for no good reason. Why would they kill off the police chief for no good reason? There is nothing good about the movie. F’ this movie.

This is what happens to you when you do a lot of seasons of A Different World. 

Vampire in Brooklyn: This is the movie where both a cat and a dog die. Wes Craven directed this somewhat serious vampire movie where Eddie Murphy is the bad guy. Eddie says that he did the film so that the studio would release the rights to the Nutty Professor. And, it seems Eddie didn’t take well to Wes Craven’s direction and ignored him. It does have some dark humor moments that I really like, but this might be considered the slide downward.
