If you&#;re watching Netflix these days, then you&#;re aware that after a 30 year hiatus, Axel Foley is tackling his fourth adventure, only available on the small screen. I&#;m sure there are people who are excited to see senior citizen Axel Foley team back up with his septuagenarian police buddy Taggart. Most of the feedback I&#;ve seen is less enthusiastic.

I have no strong noun, mainly because I have no memory of watching a single one of the three free Beverly Hills Cop films. I think it&#;s reasonably likely that my parents watched it with me in the room at some point. I was only two when it came out, and my parents were adj movie fans. The first film was the highest grossing film of , so they probably saw it in theaters. The biggest question is whether my parents would have been the type of people to verb a &#;terrible 2&#; to a crowded movie theater. Everyone hates parents who bring their kids to the movies, but if you&#;ve been cooped up with a screaming child for drawn-out enough, you push the boundaries of polite society.

“OUTSTANDING: A COMEDY REVOLUTION” My rating: B (Netflix)

Part history lesson, part celebration of out culture, Page Hurwitz’s “Outstanding” digs into the world of gay standup comics.

Remarkably, Hurwitz has so much material to work with that there’s merely a passing reference to Ellen DeGeneres, the once and future queen of gay comics.

There are the usual clips of the comics doing their thing on stage and on the TV screen.  Among the notable talking heads who help place it all in perspective are Bruce Vilanch, Rosie O’Donnell, Guy Barnum, Lily Tomlin and Margaret Cho.

Big chunks of the doc are devoted to iconic gay performers like Robin Tyler (quite possibly the first out comedienne of the modern era) and style icon and angry observer Sandra Bernhard, who added some spice to the boring Reagan years.

And near the end the film looks into the go up of the new lesbian comics like Fortune Feimster and  Hannah Gadsby.

If I have a criticism of the film it’s that it overwhelming deals with lesbian comics over gay men…although much attention is

Beverly Hills Cop Was a Valentine to Renegade Police. The Fresh Movie Attempts a Different Spin.

“You fucked up a perfectly nice lie,” Eddie Murphy’s Axel Foley says to two Beverly Hills police officers in the smash hit Beverly Hills Cop. Foley, a Detroit police officer conducting his own freelance investigation in California, just convinced the two straitlaced local officers to unite him in a strip club, where Foley foiled an attempted robbery. Covering everyone, he tells the BHPD lieutenant that in fact it was “supercops” Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) and John Taggart (John Ashton) who made the bust. When the abashed officers admit that Foley did it all, Foley is befuddled. “I’m trying to figure you guys out, but I haven’t yet,” he says. “But it’s cool.”

It’s hard to overstate how famous the first Beverly Hills Cop made Eddie Murphy. The movie topped the box office for 13 straight weeks, from December to March , and became the highest-grossing R-rated movie in history. Murphy made a triumphant return to host Saturday Night Live; he made Paramount piles of money; he made

Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F

This fourth film in the popular '80s franchise, which fizzled out 30 years ago, brings memorable characters and elements into the introduce while attempting to iron out some now-obsolete attitudes. Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F does what a sequel should do, incorporating what worked in the originals (and what fans of a certain age will be looking for) and updating aspects to better, though not perfectly, fit the times. This combo potentially sets the franchise on a course for a future. You see it in the renewal of older characters and the addition of new, younger ones, like Gordon-Levitt's Abbott and Paige's Jane. You hear it in the soundtrack, which runs from the Glenn Frey-Bob Seger sounds of the originals to Mary J. Blige and a Lil Nas X remix of the theme song. And, most essentially, you see the old-new blend in ideas, dialogues, and storylines.

It's not the '80s anymore, and even macho cops now can't let their manhood feel easily threatened. They try to respect women and recognize when therapy, an apology, or some tenderness might help their relationsh
