Lol watching Eddie Murphy movies.
This one was ridiculous but great.
Maybe one of the better cop buddy movies Ive seen.
It was just ridiculous, ridiculous characters, protagonists, ridiculous scenes and car chases gun fights.
It was well made, really 80’s and cool car chases.
Nick Nolte is one ice cold bad ass, Eddie Murphy is cool and funny.
Typical stereotypes, angry police chief, angry girlfriend lol.
I liked the setting in San Francisco.
I liked the China town neon lights and the final scenes.
The characters developed ok.
Nick Nolte just a racist asshole, but turns around into a buddy situation.
Eddie Murphy makes me laugh.
Loved that Cadillac and the way he drives it.
Just really some of the best of the 80s.
Rated R something I could never watch as a kid, but nothing stopping me now lol.
Ive been to San Francisco too so that was a cool throwback.
Yeh Nick Nolte super overkill thats probably the first movie Ive ever seen him in, but hes a natural like Kurt Russell, lol.
The scene where he empties out his pockets to fight Reggie Hammand, classic.
There was some good laughs in that, totally worth my time.
Was cool seeing the Hill billy bar, and the other rock club. I guess 82 some racial segregation happening in the states so the black white buddy cop movies are a funny contrast.
Especially two wild characters like that.
Its a film style thats worked well over the years. I think of all the way up to Rush Hour, same formula, different characters.
Just makes me chuckle thinking bout how crazy that was.
Gotta love the 80’s heavy nostalgia for me.
The dialogue and smokey rooms, and slamming the phone and swearing.. Takes me back lol.
It thought lots of populated scenes worked well, lots of busy streets busy clubs. Busy train station chase.
Didnt skimp out on the car chase scenes.
That was the first Eddie Murphy movie so I decided to watch em all and be a connoisseur lol.
___
Crazy how 48hrs has outstanding ratings and Harlem Nights is very very low.
When they were both enjoyable.
If I had to compare I’d have them at a very close tie.
Nothing beats the Beverly Hills cop III for me. But theres things I liked about Harlem Nights thats wasnt in 48hrs. And, vice versa. I think the car chases were better in 48hr, but Harlme Nights was a little funnier. More Cameos in Harlem Nights, but 48 hrs had Nick Nolte. Ah its cool to finally see the first Eddie Murphy film. Enjoyed that very much.

Harlem Nights ’89
Huge Eddie Murphy fan, this came up on the reddit nostalgia.
Decided to watch it.
Nothing sweeter than watching all the R- rated movies from when i was a kid.
Never seen this movie before. The theme and settings were great.
It was a little cheezy but was some good adult comedy, i mean geez Richard Pryor.
Eddie Murphy, Charlie Murphy, Arsenio, another few I cant recall. The crooked cop detective was great too.
Richard Pryor that takes me back to a simpler time.
Same with Eddie Murphy, I think it was a pretty good movie, nothing i didnt really like about it, gangster action comedy romance drama.
Just a fun movie throwback to back in the day, a day in the late 30s maybe where Richard Pryor and Eddie murphy are family lol.
Eddie plays a sly dectective slash criminal tough guy, smart and dangerous.
Richard plays the playboy club owner with a heart of gold just out to make a name for himself and do business and make money.
I think my fave scene was when Arsenio chasing Eddie and that car scene and Eddie just jumps through the window that was hilarious.
The boxer kinda funny.
The villain is like a typical villain in these movies, wants to make too much money, gets in the heroes way then underestimates em and eventual downfall.
I just i love the 80’s and Eddie takes me to my happy place.
A movie without cellphones and screens and just fun.
Doesnt take itself too seriously but enough decent acting to make you forget about your troubles for a bit.
Plus just delightful to see Richard on screen again, its been a while.
Otherwise i enjoyed that.
Just silly setting with some late 80s effects and jokes.
Rotten tomatoes gave it a very low rating but the google reviews are high.
Rotten tomatoes doesnt know what its doing honestly they dont know what makes a good movie in my opinion lol.
Id be better off just searching the lowest rated movies, and call it a day.
Meanwhile im venturing what is rated high is just straight garbage.
Cant totally confirm.
I think if its mainstream and popular it gets a good rating, if its niche and not mainstream or widely advertised or critiqued it gets low ratings.
Ity wasnt no Beverly hills cop 3 but was just as memorable.
___
Middlebrow thats me kinda, lower middlebrow maybe, with a mix of high. Maybe yea true middlebrow.
Just reading about Pryor a bit.
Redd Foxx never heard of him but he looks familiar.
Lol these nominations for worst movies lol.
I dunno im a fan of these have you seen the blog i mean it wasnt the worst thing I watched I was actually kinda enthralled to see some of my stars from the yesteryears, plus im a huge Eddit Murphy fan for life!
The Munsters 2022
Fuck that was a good movie.
Refreshing.
Bright colorful, musical comedic.
Loved that.
Thats in my top 2, I liked top gun 2, and Munsters just the same almost , incomparible, but both equally awesome.
Damn Rob Zombie you make some good movies.
Dawn Of the Dead (Romero) ’78
Shout out to Dennis, hes the one that showed me this movie.
Revisiting it since i was a child lol.
Oh people having a hard time in the late 70s lol.
This is awesome and hardcore at the same time lol.
This movie is a freakin bloodbath lol.
Mars Attacks ’96
Been a minute since I seen this one, was happy to see Micheal J fox, Jack Black, Jack nicholson, um James bond.
Lots of crazy actors and crazy scenes.
Its a fun medium gore movie, the special effects are neat, some scenes I forgot about so it was a good taste of Nostalgia.
I cant really remember when this came out, i must have rented it or something.
That takes me back man 1996 lol.
How naive we all were thinking the good times would last forever.
I like the scene where the alien dresses up like the tall blonde and immediately he starts hitting on her, and just ridiculous things.
ANother scene is the Army ambasador calls up the wife and kids and is like see I told you you work hard, now i get to meet the aliens, hes the first to get shot.
The whole punchline in that movie is the Slim Whitman – Indian love call lol.
I decided to revisit cause it was Tim Burton after I saw Sleepy Hollow I really studied the scenes.
Hes really a great filmaker. Lighting characters sets, I dunno this movie was epic.
The more i learn about movie production, this one was an interesting one to watch.
They really didnt cut the scenes with the aliens short theyre everywhere. Just full on special effects, and playing with the head replacement its great.
Which is great cause back in the day they used to never show the monster, till way at the end and only a quick scene.
NOw it was a full frontal comedic assault.
With some pop culture jokes, i dunno fun seeing all the A list actors from back in the day all in one movie.
Great film, silly but fun.
Sleepy Hollow ’99
Cant believe its Tim Burton.
Master of Halloween.
So dope to see Johnny Depp Hardly recognize him from 20+ years ago.
Horror – Fantasy – Romance.
Wonderful.
Christina Ricci , omg havent heard that name in a minute.
Absolutely beautiful especially in this role.
She played Wednesday Addams, thats why i love her so much.
Just the teenage hearthrobs lmao how embarassing.
Shes still hot af. Shes ultra famous. I love her though.
Almost as equally as I love Christopher Walkin, and buddy from Ravenous.
This is just the ultra throwback to the good old days.
Amazing sets, a wild look at the late 1700s yipes.
I never say this about a movie but wow lighting.
Reminds me of the forests of blairwitch. lol
Add in a little dark comedy for the quadruple.
Ricci looks so sweet as a blonde unbelievable.
The setting in this film does it for me.
Unbelievable creepy and visceral and liminal. Tim Burton is amazing.
You know it reminds me alot of Lovecraft origins.
The original thriller, i really respect that writing style and aspire to be that one day.
It creates a passion a lust, a theme a setting that Tim burton Really harnessed in a way.
Im just saying from my literary experience.
Thats a cool connection.
Damn Christina Ricci I love you on screen.
Shes like the sensible witch attractive witch lol.
I love her eyes.
That setting from the burnt down house what an amazing set, I really cant place Tim Burton any higher as a film maker especially from the 90’s really amazing work man. The films I grew up on.
Its all about the setting character cast, the lightin obviously the mist and steam, the special effects almost comes last which is wonderful.
These creepy ass sets seriously.
That scene was amazing withg the magistrate lol wow.
Johnny depp is a wonderful actor no doubt.
The film is beautiful so glad i revisited this.
Hey hes wearing the puffy shirt lol.
Witch scene holds up more or less.
Now we got the Yoda Darth Vader tree with some added flair.
Shes so beautiful in those dark damp woods.
Holy fuck not holdy on showing the headless horseman, those scenes were crazy. Only took an hour of film till we see the antagonist.
Omg those dream scenes are terrifying. Witch hunt and fear from the past.
Breaking up graves, and witches.
Ricci is such a contrast to the film its really epic.
Damn shes hot when shes mad too lol.
The conclusion of this film is the best.
ITs a slow creepup to chaos and mayhem, mystery.
Love Horses in movies aslong as they treated nice. Rarely but it makes for a amzing flick. I knew buddy from ravenous was a evil character, the plot unwinds.
Oh that is savage!.
THe denouement in this movie is crazy its fantastic, really grips you.
Evil stepmom who could have guessed.
Hahah Johnny depp riding the headless horseman! hahaha
Ricci on the reigns doesnt get much better than this lmao.
I guess Physics affects the Horseman more than spirituality.
That is one fuckin amazing movie.
Romance Horror Comedy thriller mystery. And they lived hapilly ever after.
Christer walken with the only line A disgrunteled yell.
I gotta say thtas one of the best finales ive seen in a long time.
Epic soundtrack.
Really miss the tim burton.
Sick fuckin movie. 10/10 bravo!
Band of Brothers ’01
Slacking on the blog.
What can i say I revisited some USA WW2 hardcore tv series, HBO.
Politics just got me so damned pissed off.
Watching the event unfold in a fictional historic masterpiec by the Tom Hanks.
Every part of this show is great.
Heavy gore, personal testimony.
I enjoyed following the 101st on google maps.
It was pretty great viewing it after 20 years.
Those were real people doing crazy shit and crazy mental experience for the benefit of the free world.
Im both shocked to see what happened back then, and shocked to see the way the world is today after that.
The holocaust in particular, and the shaping of facism particularly concerns me.
That some would cheer such a blood bath.
Anyways the series for only 10 episodes long is fantastic I was glued to the TV.
Really hard on the volum cause the machine guns and artillery, is like way too loud, and just carnage.
The dull moments.
Yeh Capt Spiers and Major Winters some pretty incredible stories.
I watched this long ago but was interesting to revisit.
Not sure what else I can write about this, just some historical accuracy mixed with fiction, im sure everyone is quite proud of that.
I guess its the Tom hanks team from saving private Ryan.
Yeh i noticed Malarky in some new shows.
Just the tension in this show is unbearable so dramatic and action packed.
New Faces ’54
Movie is pretty cool, just finishing off more Mel Brooks I havent seen.
Not much I can say about this that isnt original.
I like the happy go-luckyness of it.
The innocence or illusion of the 50s.
Women dressed sexy and nice.
Men maybe but less so. Just a suit jacket is all you need.
In this film long ponytails, long skits, short tops.
I like the sets, its like Broadway but more extreme.
Ive been introduce to Eartha Kitt for the first time.
I like the dancing, singing. There was that neat scene with the jawbreakers.
It was like an illusion scene, not sure how they did that.
Its like what i would call a stage musical, they have the musical dance portions on stage, but also some theatrical behind the scenes with sets.
Really the definition of 50s flicks.
I wonder if theyrell be a water ballet.
Otherwise that happy go lucky guy just watching the perfomance, the plot is a bit difficult to stay totally attached to but the Earth Kitt song singing in french and other performances are pretty cool. Love wild tap dancing. Full on production.
Red head blonde musta been the inspiration for Jessica Rabbit same hair and shape.
Buddy and his book and some heavy vernacular.
The two old ladies singing over a teapot set.
Too rich and beautiful for true love lol.
Musta been fun with sets back then. Simple yet detailed and to the point.
Dance is such a interesting form of expression. Paired with music and costumes. Couples.
Something sexy about 50’s aesthetic, pointy bras lol.
Hairstyle.
Its nice with some french some songs, just hear Alouette havent heard that in years. Some great singing by this cast.
Eartha Kitt shes the star of this film forsure. amazing rendition of Santa baby.
Thats pretty cool to see.
Just that rendition makes me love this flick. Just non stop performances.
Wow pop culture. Mentions crowning of Elizabeth II , 1953.
Waltzing in venice, its not my favorite lol, ugly colors and song is ok its kinda cringe to be honest ahaha. I can respect it though. Ok the joke made it worth it.
Those look like star trek outfits lmao.
I like the dance number.
4 styles of dance atleast no lyrics pretty good.
Lol trip of the month; hes all crippled.
Little racist bit about Africa, isnt as bad as ive seen on the blog, was more of a small comedy bit.
Turkey bit was cool mezmorizing.
Aw in love with teacher thats funny.
Wasted on baseball lol the metaphor for my life ahaha.
Baseball better than pick pocketing ahaha.
This is the Willy lowman of film. Dont whistle in the elevator. only 10 years old when this came out, amazing.
ITs humourous and dark and exagerated. Its some wild acting though for theatre film.
This scene is crazy. very death of a salesman esque a parody though.
Ah ruthless, that was a good scene. Just alot of flailing and emotion.
Wow obscene for the 50s lol.
Im mclovin it though.
Ive never seen a movie like this before.
Earth Kitt is awesome.
Sings in french and english and more. She made the presidents wife Mrs. Johnson Cry lmao. Woulda paid 100$ to see that.
Bagheera voice wow.
Nah i love her.
I recognize that singing from jungle book neat.
___
Lmao i knew it Arthur Miller came to a show, he gort parodied, but like other Mel Brooks films its more of an honor. Even George Lucas was happy to get parodied.
i think that scene sticks with me the most. Then the eartha kitt and Santa Baby.
Thats some good film another one for the books on the Blog, you know i like to keep it vintage retro and something interesting about pop culture.
Not generally seen by most.
I really liked those dance numbers, reminds me of the best of Mary poppins, Eartha Kitt was just wonderfull too I love her.
The Critic ’63
Funny little short film with some Mel Brooks Commentary.
Its humorous its short.
It has shapes. Its fun.
Short film made from a personal experience.
Its worth a chuckle. Not much mega point except it was fun.
Its a old movie abstract.
Like a party trick. Pre-youtube.
It won an academy award for short film.
Its free on youtube.
I like this one its projected on the wall probably how youd see it at home maybe.
High Anxiety ’77
Missed a couple on my Mel Brooks list. High Anxiety. Im glad a missed a couple cause was kinda sad when i came to the end of the list. Got a bunch of movies on the list but wanted to do this one for Mel Brooks and James Cinemassacre. Just my late night ambitions of being a movie critic ‘free thinker’ although i take recomendations these ones are at the top. Even recommended these to my mom.
Nice love the oldschool feel to this already.
Always hated 70s shit when growing up now im more accustomed to it and enjoy it more.
Love the font.
Love the LA airport 70s I was there like 8 years ago.
lol Mel Brooks with the first good joke.
Thats liek me flying.
70s aesthetic is so cringe, like horrid colors and everything.
Lol cia homosexual joke gotta love it.
NAh this is classic Mel Brooks he makes good movies and crude ones.
Savage in the first 5 mins.
Really love that font.
Just classic LA airport, looks alot better back then doesnt it.
Orchestra on a bus lol.
This movie stupid af.
Ah nice scene painting effect missed that.
Its a hitchock parody.
Ah yea i remember him.
Hes villain on Blazzing saddles, Harvey Korman, found him.
Haha nurse ratchet.
Love the effects in this lol over acting.
Kinda mocks the germans in a light way.
77-45 = 32 years still comedic relief.
Poor regular german people having to deal with the trauma maybe a sligth majority inflicted. I met many germans, very intellectual wise hard working people. And with sense of humor. Cant judge a book by its cover. Nah i like the Germans i met. But i guess after gaffes like that your subject of the worlds ridicule for 50+ years man. Judged byut he actions of a few, not the end result. Metaphor. Cause germans sure got their asses kicked end of WW2, have you seen that footage stalingrad, and the fall of Berlin. Pretty horrific, anyways i digress, and not to make any simplicities with the holocaust neither takes a good sense of humour to see the humour. I could see this already being offensive to many. Although not my time period not my trauma. Man if you cant take a joke after slaughter like that. Cant spell slaughter without laughter. lol. I digress #2.
This making just a mockery of the alfed hitchcock types. And Alfred im sure he was down. He probably had a good laugh along with Lucas and all the others he crossed paths with. Lol 4th wall camera breaks thru glass, excellent. I already freakin love this movie. No one makes movies like this. The studio is probably like wtf no! This goes against everything we believe in as a studio.
That nurse is so haggard and scary.
Id be like youre trying to heal me, yo . You need to go on maury for a life and body makeover. Just the scariest nurse you ever seen. Lol good acting though cause thats wretched. I love the just brazen mocking of mental health in this. Cause i guess once your in the institution your done like dinner. Reminds me of the river view hospital i bet the patient recovery was nil there too. Well better in a big house than on the street right. If you cant prove your not insane, then toughluck. Insanse asylum is such a dark setting, damned if you do damned if you dont. Just praise the lord im not in that horrific situation . I seen those places. Some people have mental trauma , say feed em fruit cups and let em play board games. One flew over the cuckoos nest. At a point you must start just to pretend, while sycophants have their way with you.
Lol ok nurse just became my favorite character well done.
San fran lol, you should see what they done to the place.
Who brushes his teeth like that lol.
Running joke heheh.
Lol nurse is the best.
Omg shes a kink police officer sex freak lol.
And the villain from Blazzing.
Lmao.
This is the person treating mental patients is a complete mental freak herself the irony.
Love it 70s office decor.
Doctor mocking you, savage.
Montague.
Lol this scene. Im dying this is so freaking funny. Lol its just low hanging fruit against mental patients.
Its hilarious though.
I feel slightly guilty for laughing at that, its all in comedy though.
Just a comics pardise really I can see why he made this.
Lol Mel Brooks fighting the old man omg.
Lmao its sick but i love the mockery of the mental health jokes just cause im such a sadist lmao.
It this scenario its a such a joke. It really mocks psychology and the metal hospital scenario.
By putting in excessive disgusting characters you cant help but laugh at. Its like the Necro Schizophrenia video, shocking and brutal, also comedic. Its really taboo and off limits now a days.
So i expect nothing less than Mel Brooks make a farce of something so claimed serious. Its borderline offensive im telling you but i cant look away and i love it.
Bruh any doctor like this try an acess me i will ruin ur fuckin day, meawhile theyre dressing like women getting spanked behind closed doors its really obscene. Cant help but have a chuckle its meant in good fun. Kinda reminds me of Sarah Conor in Terminator 2, when the dude licks her face.. Just all sorts of fucked up.
Omg i used to have pyjamas like that, creepy lol.
This just fuckin ridiculous ! lol.
Nice transition, amazing, prolly gotta credit the Alfred for that. Lol car scene epic. Pfft so cheezy unreal. How do they get away with that. Lol little hudden punchline.
Yo Love the Golden Gate.
Im not an Alfred connaiseur so.
Well you know energy potential is much higher the higher you get lol.
Lol this dude.
Mel Brooks shower scene if ur interested.
Omg paper stabbing scene a la bates motel thats ruthless lol.
IMO funniest scene in the movie so far lol.
Thats incredibly ruthless 70s style.
Glad i saved this one for last, cause its just the best of Brooks.
Whose this new character.
Recognize her.
ohhhhhhhhhh!
Madeline Kahn, shes lilly von shtupp she was great in Blazing, woowwww.
Love the repeated use of characters no joke. Really wonderful.
Shes beautiful lmao, pistol lighter.
wow.
New character the killer I presume. Ahahaha the psychologust hall of fame.
Very fear and loathing esque.
Hahaha punchlines for days!
Just burst out laughing.
Thats a knee slapper. Wowzers.
I didnt know you could make movies like this.
Jaws.
Lol. Double lol.
Nice music piece, love this about the Mel Brooks flicks, hes very film and music orientated.
___
Lol more plot, the under the tea table scene. Thats kinda funny, dont see that in movies. Very Mission impossible esque.
Payphones lol payphones to make your shady phone calls. The birds lol. I seen that movie years ago. Just a parody of that lol. LOol what was the point of that scene. And that mathcing costume cadillac, Louis Vutton.
Madeline Kahn shes hilarious.
Villains are hilarious.
A beeper.
Jaws.
Jewish jokes lol.
Snap-e tom eww. How to get through airport security in 77 ahaha.
Proffesor hilarious.
They gonna do the falling down the clocktower scene. Lol This finale is epic. Jokes and tension perfectly mixed.
Stooges joke.
Ive seen the pulley hook fly so many times now.
Nice transition.
4th wall destruction its great, love the backdrops. Thats what uyou dont get with CGI. Granted the CGI backdrops are epic but they dont have the same feel or aesthetic.
Movie was good for mid-late 70s.
Mel Brooks was in Battle of the Bulge holy shit.
These Al Jolson dance moves lol. Thats some harcore blackface though yipes..
New faces and the critic.
