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

Rakhi Sawant expresses gratitude towards her ‘bhai-behen’ lawyers for battling with her for the police custody of Adil Khan Durrani

-
After announcing her wedding with longtime boyfriend Adil Khan Durrani, Rakhi Sawant soon turned to the media yet again as she threw several allegations against her husband, including that of extra-marital affairs and physical assault. The case of Rakhi and Adil Durrani is currently in court and the latter was given judicial custody. In the latest turn of events, Adil has been ordered to be placed in police custody until February 20. Confirming the same, lawyers of Rakhi Sawant recently revealed about it to the media. Along with them, Sawant too spoke about the recent update, further expressing gratitude towards her lawyers for upholding justice and thanked them for helping her in her legal battle against Adil Khan Durrani. Speaking about it in her latest statement to the media, Rakhi said, “, “Rakhi Sawant ko nyay nahi mila hai, ek hindustan ki peedit mahila ko nyay mila hai. Pehli baar itehaas mein hua hai ki shaadi-suhagarat ke jagah suhagrat fir suhagrat hui hai. (Let me tell you that it is not Rakhi Sawant who got justice today but it is justice for all Indian women who are suffering from such atrocities. While generally the first night happens after marriage, in this case, it seems like it was the first night that happened first and then the marriage). She added, “Mera matlab ye hai ki pehle police custody milti hai fir judicial custody milti hai. Yaha toh aisa hua hai ki pahle judicial custody bhi mili aur ab police custody bhi mil gayi. Mein inn bhaiyo ko shurkiyada karti hoon aur inke pair padti hun jinhone bina kisi fayde ke meri madad ki. (In other words, what I meant was that, generally, you get police custody first and then judicial custody. However, in this case, we got the judicial custody first and now we have also got police custody. I thank all these brothers-sisters (lawyers) and bow down to them for selflessly helping me in this battle).”   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Viral Bhayani (@viralbhayani) Rakhi Sawant recently also mended her relationship with Sherlyn Chopra and the latter showcased her support towards Sawant in her recent legal battle against Adil Khan Durrani.

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
