The heat is back on in "Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F," the fourth installment in the "Beverly Hills Cop" franchise and the first in 30 years, which essentially works as an audience-friendly remake of the 1984 original. "Axel F" brings back the characters, songs and story beats of the first film, which made Eddie Murphy a box office star and pioneered the action comedy genre. The new film doesn't do anything revolutionary but it gets by on its familiarity, like seeing an old friend and reminiscing about the old days over a couple of beers. Murphy is back cracking wise as Detroit cop Axel Foley, st...

Netflix's "Reindeer Baby" mini-series by Scottish comedian Richard Gadd has climbed into the streaming platform's coveted ranking for the 10 most watched English-language shows, even as a potential legal fallout emerges. The dark but at times humorous limited series edged out the first season of the American-Polish series "The Witcher" from 2019 to take tenth place in the "Most Popular TV (English)" ranking. "Baby Reindeer" tells the story of struggling comedian called Donny who works in a bar and who is stalked by a female guest named Martha (Jessica Gunning). The name of the show is the nick...

When Netflix announced last month that it had acquired the rights to two NFL football games to stream on Christmas Day, TV news agents were buzzing. If the streaming behemoth is getting into sports — after saying for so long that it wouldn't — could live news shows be far behind as the Los Gatos, California, streaming giant diversifies its programming roster? Think of the ease of a button on the Netflix home screen that could take users to a breaking story, such as the guilty verdict in former President Donald Trump's hush money trial in New York. Or consider how Netflix, which has 270 million...

Netflix has announced plans to release a "Peaky Blinders" film with Oscar winner Cillian Murphy returning to the role of gangster Tommy Shelby. "It seems like Tommy Shelby wasn't finished with me," Murphy is quoted as saying in a Netflix press release on Tuesday. "This is one for the fans," added the 48-year-old Irish actor, who recently won an Oscar for Best Actor for his role in the film "Oppenheimer". In a photo shared by Netflix on social media of what appears to be the script for the film, the cover page reads: "Written by Steven Knight" and "Directed by Tom Harper". "Peaky Blinders" ran ...

The boss of Netflix has admitted that its algorithm for deciding which shows to make is not flawless. Greg Peters, co-chief executive of the streaming site, was speaking at the Media And Telecoms 2024 And Beyond Conference in London on Tuesday. He cited crime drama "Top Boy", which was originally broadcast on Channel 4, teenage comedy "Sex Education" and war film "All Quiet On The Western Front" as part of the company’s offering which were given the go-ahead due to being “unique” and did not rely on data. “If it was just as simple as great algorithms then we would have no flops,” Peters said. ...

Glances heavy with youthful longing, cliques of friends chatting by the school lockers, first love, bullying and the search for identity - the teen experience is topping the streaming charts these days. Viewers young and old alike are eager to see young embraces, intrigue and ambition, from British teen comedy drama "Sex Education" to Germany's latest addition to the long list of international teen shows, "Maxton Hall". It's a six-part series about Ruby Bell, who comes from a humble background and ends up at the elite college of Maxton Hall thanks to a scholarship. She suddenly finds herself a...

"Eric," a limited series premiering Thursday on Netflix, stars Benedict Cumberbatch, wearing an American accent, as Vincent Anderson, a Jim Henson-brand puppeteer, if Henson had had severe mental health issues, a drinking and drugs problem and on top of that was just kind of an angry, egotistical jerk. Henson is mentioned in passing, so we are not supposed to confuse the two, Vincent's beard notwithstanding. (Coincidentally, Disney+ is premiering Ron Howard's documentary "Jim Henson: Idea Man" on Friday, which will make that distance clear.) The setting is 1980s New York City, in its graffiti ...

Glen Powell displays killer charm in "Hit Man," a snappy comic thriller that's part neo-noir rom-com, part philosophical gut check. Powell, the ace supporting player from "Top Gun: Maverick" who elevated himself to leading man status with winter's surprise hit "Anyone But You," plays Gary Johnson, a meek, divorced New Orleans college professor who lives alone with his two cats and drives a perfectly sensible Honda Civic. He does part-time undercover work with the New Orleans police department, helping out as a tech consultant on sting operations, but he gets thrown into the field when he's ask...

I know that Shane Gillis is a controversial comic — not in the Lenny Bruce sense, but because in 2019 he was cast on "Saturday Night Live" as a featured player and fired from the show, even before his first appearance, when remarks surfaced that I've seen characterized as "racist, homophobic and misogynist." I don't know what those remarks were or in what context they were offered, but my guess is that they were supposed to be funny. And this February he returned to the show as a guest host. Gillis is now the star and co-creator (with Steve Gerben, who co-stars, and McKeever, who directs) of "...

A new British mini-series about a barkeeper and a female stalker is rapidly becoming one of the most popular shows on Netflix. "Baby Reindeer" is about an unsuccessful comedian called Donny who works in a bar and who is stalked by a female guest named Martha (Jessica Gunning). "Baby Reindeer" is the nickname she gives Donny (played by Scottish comedian and author Richard Gadd) as she develops an obsession with him in a story that becomes increasingly dark. It is reportedly based on a true story, with Gadd saying he made the miniseries to process the disturbing experiences he suffered and to ex...
