Before there was Bad Boys, there was Beverly Hills Cop. It took two actors to equal one Eddie Murphy, and they still couldn’t top him.
Both franchises have a fourth movie coming out, and I think we know which one is going to be better. Axel F is the GOAT for a reason, as you can see from the trailer!
Detective Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) is back on the beat in Beverly Hills. After his daughter’s life is threatened, she (Taylour Paige) and Foley team up with a new partner (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and old pals Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) and John Taggart (John Ashton) to turn up the heat and uncover a conspiracy.
CBS scored a touchdown when they picked up Tracker straight-to-series. They just didn’t know how much until they chose to air it after the Super Bowl, and it kicked ass harder than a punter kicks the ball.
Most shows lose viewers after they lose a lead-in, like the football game. However, the Justin Hartley procedural has retained a large part of the audience they found on that first night. It’s like the series’ premise: Hartley tracking down those who are lost.
So much so that it is this season’s #1 show on broadcast television.
The most-watched new show since Desperate Housewives and the first new program to debut at #1 in over two decades, is seen by 11.58 million viewers with live plus 7-day viewing each week.
Before David Eigenberg was working for the Chicago Fire department, he was trying to get a job at a soup company on The Cosby Show. He looks the same now as he did when he was 27 in that 1992 episode.
Back in the ’80s, there was a group of 20-something movie stars who were labeled as the Brat Pack in a Tima Magazine article. The actors starred in the John Hughes films St. Elmo’s Fire and Taps.
To their fans, it was a cool name. To them, it wasn’t a title they wanted to go by. However, they didn’t talk to each other about it.
That was then. Recently, Andrew McCarthy traveled the country and talked to his fellow members of the Pack, such as Rob Lowe, Demi Moore, Ally Sheedy, Emilio Estevez, Jon Cryer, Lea Thompson, Timothy Hutton, and key members of production, including directors, casting directors, screenwriters, and producers, to find out what being in the Brat Pack meant to them.
On June 13th, we will hear what he told them in his documentary Brats, which will stream on Hulu.
“The Brat Pack has cast a long shadow over my life and career,” said McCarthy. “After all these years, I was curious to see how it had affected my fellow Brat Pack members. What I found was surprising — and liberating.”
As an ’80s kid, I can’t wait to see what Blane uncovered! So, I will be watching. Probably more than once.
