| Gosh, wasn't the Holocaust a hoot? Welcome back to a revisionist
yesteryear at the movies as, once again, we see how funny those old
Nazis were. The idea of turning one of the most horrific tragedies of
mankind into a comedy is an idea that has, at...more |

| Eddie Murphy has had his share of ups and downs during his career. Known
for his notorious late 80’s slump, Murphy has still managed to bounce
back with a handful of hits in the past few years. With the exception of
the dreadful Holy Man, he appears to...more |

| The pairing seems ideal. Putting Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence
together sounds like a perfect comedy teaming. Toss in a high-concept
gimmick and plenty of old age makeup and you get Life, a bland movie
that may not be a prison term, but falls well...more |

| Last fall, Eddie Murphy took on a very subdued (at least by his
standards) role in "Holy Man," and turned out a splendid performance that
deserved much better than the mediocre reception it received. In that
movie, he wasn't constantly stealing scenes,...more |

anything and everything, it would take something extremely funny for
me to consider being imprisoned for sixty-five years

does eventually deliver on its promising casting. As shown in the
outtakes, Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence can be quite funny together

| In his youth and motion picture debut in 1982 with '48 HRS.', Eddie Murphy
was full of vigour and zest. He never compromised with his overly brash
style of expressing four letter words. As part of an adult movie story, it
worked. His wise cracking and...more |

| "Life" marks yet another unexpected career move by Eddie Murphy, who's
apparently been a bit more willing to take chances in the past few
