In 2016, Eddie Murphy tried again to make a come-back with ‘Mr. Church’ but even though his performance was praised, the movie itself was a critical flop and the dammed thing was barely seen when it was released. Anyway, for some reasons, I have actually seen all the movies starring this actor (except ‘Mr. Church’ which just came out) and most of the movies involving this actor are in fact... read more

Movies the giraffe watched in 2021: February (25 movies items)

"First viewing - Feb. 17th Life is a solidly entertaining film that accurately reflects the relationship between Black people and the police in America while trying to keep a sense of humor about the whole thing. Watching Murphy and Lawrence play off one another is a treat, and the rest of the supporting cast is full of lovable goofballs. It's not great, but it is worth a look and I'm glad I finally caught up with it."
