Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F review – fish-out-of-water Eddie Murphy chases past glories

-
Murphy’s maverick cop – and his theme music – are back to fight corruption, but four decades on there’s little energy to enliven their formulaic reunion Eddie Murphy isn’t finished yet – as he proved with his barnstormer of a performance as Blaxploitation pioneer Rudy Ray Moore in Dolemite Is My Name . But there’s something a bit tired and formulaic about this further go-around for his iconic Detroit cop Axel Foley from the Beverly Hills Cop action-comedy franchise which 40 years ago made Murphy an explosive Hollywood star – and whose catchy Axel F theme became an 80s anthem, duly revived here. He’s back for the fourth film, yet again leaving his Detroit turf to be a scruffy fish-out-of-water in the hilariously chi-chi world of Beverly Hills, yet again wryly noticing from the wheel of his car, on the way in, a montage of all the crazy California stuff, including a car registration plate reading: PRE-NUP. Axel’s grownup lawyer daughter Jane (Taylour Paige) is in Beverly Hills, menace

Kylie Jenner Responds To Troll Who Mocked Her Lips

-
One fan discovered on her own that Kylie Jenner is honest about her lip enhancements, admitting when she had had work done and defending herself when she hadn't when the Kardashians star responded to the user's social media insult. The 25-year-old former KKW Beauty model and Stassie Karanikolaou, her best friend, uploaded a video to TikTok on Saturday, August 21. With Jenner's "Favorite" by Ciara playing in the background, the buddies, who were both rockings fitted black tops and huge lips, posed for photos prom-style. The founder of Kylie Cosmetics retaliated with a comment of her own after someone responded, "The lips, please," along with the emojis for sweating, grimacing, and a skull. The rest of the reality star's 2 million followers responded to her clap back in the remarks area, so her reaction wasn't lost on them. "It's the filter, but turn it off." After that, I'd weep myself to sleep," commented one supporter. Another person responded, perhaps defending the first, saying, "'It's the filter but go off like they don't look the same without the filter too. Jenner's vehement response to her detractors is merely the most recent in a series. Earlier this month, the inventor of Kylie Skin attacked makeup artist Kevin James Bennett for allegedly failing to wear the required protective gear while she was in the Kylie Cosmetics lab and "gaslighting followers" in the process. Because I'm calling out their cosmetic queen, I know the Kardashian/Jenner stans will come after me. But WTF @kyliejenner," the beauty expert said on August 5 in response to Jenner's Instagram post that showed her wearing a lab coat and using Kylie Cosmetics products. "As a part of my profession as a cosmetic developer, I collaborate with cosmetic manufacturers and their labs. I have never been permitted to enter a lab or a manufacturing floor without a hair net, shoe covers, a mask, and disposable GLOVES.

Gasoline Rainbow review – a free-ranging coming-of-age ode to the curiosity of youth

-
Billed as a gen Z road trip film, the Ross brothers’ first fiction feature offers more than you’d expect from the genre, with a focus on human interaction over plot In the opening seconds of the Ross brothers’ new film, a teenager professes his hope to discover a place “weirdos” like him can call home. The opening raises doubts about the novelty of what might follow: the trope of the high school outsider has been endlessly revisited. Gasoline Rainbow – billed as a gen Z road trip movie – starts off by replaying familiar images. As new high school graduates Makai, Micah, Nathaly, Nichole and Tony hit the road across Oregon for one final adventure together, we see the usual trappings of the genre: sing-alongs, parties by the campfire, and leaning out of car windows to enjoy the breeze and sweet call of freedom. We move into welcome new territory when a mishap leaves their van out of action, and the group are left in the hot desert trying to scrounge a path forward, meeting strangers al

Elaha review – sex, patriarchy and second-generation identity

-
A sexually candid, seriously intentioned drama about a young Kurdish woman who feels she has to surgically ‘restore’ her virginity before her wedding There is a heartfelt and courageous performance from 28-year-old Syrian-born, German-based actor Bayan Layla in this drama about sex, patriarchy and second-generation immigrant identity. It is a drama which hits the buttons squarely and efficiently, but might perhaps have played better as a three-part TV drama. Layla plays Elaha, a young woman of Kurdish family background in a German town (director Milena Aboyan is herself German-based and Armenian-Kurdish). She has finished high school and is now attending classes on how to apply for jobs, picking up skills she uses mainly to help her dad find employment. There seems to be no discussion about university, despite her obvious intelligence. Her mum works hard minding Elaha’s younger sister and disabled kid brother, and Elaha has part-time work at a dry-cleaners; she is saving for her wedd
