Eddie Murphy isn’t always my cup of tea. Maybe it’s his over-the-top comedy style that sometimes irks me. This film is such an exception. Murphy is relatively low-key in his performance. We open the film with a young version of John Dolittle, who has a natural ability to speak to animals (hey, some people say… Read more »

Start with two dumb guys (Andrew McCarthy… Read more »
Pierce Brosnan is starting to get a little older and has said publicly that he isn’t sure he’ll do another James Bond film, but I’m not sure that matters. It’s been an amazing ride, and Die Another Day isn’t an exception. The film crackles to life with Bond in North Korea bearing diamonds in exchange… Read more »
