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

Sheriffs Claim That Alcohol Was Not A Factor In Scott Disick’s Car Accident, In Which His Car Flipped Due To Speeding

-
The 39-year-old Kardashians star was involved in an altercation on Sunday, according to a statement from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's Information Bureau. Deputies from the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff's Station were called to the scene. As soon as they arrived, authorities "contacted Scott Disick, the driver, and the only other person in the car." Alcohol was not a factor, the announcement said, adding that speed was the main reason for the traffic crash. "Mr. Disick had only minor, non-life-threatening wounds and chose not to get medical help. After requesting that his car be hauled away, he was picked up from the scene by family members." When asked for comment, Disick's representative did not answer right away to PEOPLE. The accident news was first reported by TMZ. The Flip It Like Disick actor was involved in the crash while operating a Lamborghini SUV, the news source said. Mason, 12, Penelope, 10, and Reign, 7, are the children of Disick and his ex-girlfriend Kourtney Kardashian. The Poosh founder, 43, married Travis Barker in Italy in May. Disick wasn't "taking it well," a source had previously claimed of Kardashian's marriage to Barker. To distract himself from it, the insider stated, "He's hanging out with friends." Despite knowing what was about to happen, it was difficult for him to process and digest. The most recent long-term ex of Disick, Sofia Richie, just became engaged to Elliot Grainge. The soon-to-wed couple is "a perfect match for each other," according to an insider. Meanwhile, Rebecca Donaldson, a model, was most recently mentioned in connection with Disick. The couple made their red carpet debut at the premiere of The Kardashians season 1 in April, but E! News afterward reported that they had split up. In a previous post, The former member of the Kardashian family, 38, shared several images of his three children, Mason, 12, Penelope, 9, and Reign, 7, on his Instagram Story on Tuesday.

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
