Review: Dolemite Is My Name

Eddie Murphy stars in Netflix's DOLEMITE IS MY NAME!

I’m in full support of Eddie Murphy’s comeback attempt. I don’t know if he has the same abilities that he used to possess all those years ago, but the entertainment industry is in need of people who have truly mastered their craft.

Add that there won’t be the usual restrictions we get with most other modern-day comic book movies and you realize we could be in for quite an experience. Because of these …

Describing Monos without spoiling anything is kind of difficult. However, it’s what the film requires in order to get the full experience of watching it. In some ways, it’s a conventional film but how it gets there is more unique than almost anything you’ll see released these days in the world of cinema. Deep in the jungle of an unnamed …
