90s Movie Review - Space Jam

Director: Joe Pytka
Genre: Animation/ Comedy/ Family/ Adventure
Runtime: 88 minutes
Year: 1996
Starring: Michael Jordan, Wayne Knight, Bill Murray, Theresa Randle, Larry Bird, Charles Barkley, Danny DeVito

Description: In a desperate attempt to win a basketball match and earn their freedom, the Looney Tunes seek the aid of retired basketball champion, Michael Jordan.

Review: I grew up watching Looney Tunes cartoons. I loved them: Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Road Runner, Sylvester, Taz, you name it. In 1996, they decided to combine animation with live-action for the movie “Space Jam”. Legendary basketball played Michael Jordan was enlisted as the lead actor, which results in a fun family film in which the hero of the Chicago Bulls and the Looney Tunes join forces.
When tiny aliens from Moron Mountain come to Earth to capture the Looney Tunes, the ever wise Bugs Bunny decides to challenge them to a game of basketball. If the Looney Tunes win, they don’t have to go to Moron Mountain to entertain the public, but if they lose, they are doomed to eternal slavery. But Bugs and his friends see no problem, since the aliens are a fist high. Until the little creatures transform into the Monstars, a team of giant monsters who stole the basketball skills from famous players. And the Looney Tunes don’t see how they can win anymore. Therefore, Bugs enlists the help of Michael Jordan.
When small and sneaky aliens from Moron Mountain come to Earth to capture the Looney Tunes, the ever wise Bugs Bunny decides to challenge them to a game of basketball. If the Looney Tunes win, they don't have to go to Moron Mountain to entertain the public, but if they lose, they are doomed to eternal slavery. But with the athleticism of a fish stick, Bugs, Daffy and their friends foresee no problems. Until the little creatures transform into the Monstars. A team of professional basketball players who have no problem chopping up the Looney Tunes.
“Space Jam” is mostly fun and nonsensical. Like in the cartoons we all grew up with, almost everything is possible in their world. It’s still, after so many years, an entertaining family film.

Rating: 3/ 5

90s Movie Review - Beverly Hills Cop III

Director: John Landis
Genre: Comedy/ Action
Runtime: 104 minutes
Year: 1994
Starring: Eddie Murphy, Judge Reinhold, Hector Elizondo, Theresa Randle, Timothy Carhart, Bronson Pinchot

Description: Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy), while investigating a car theft ring, comes across something much bigger than that: the same men who shot his boss are running a counterfeit money ring out of a theme park in Los Angeles.

Review: This is the third time Eddie Murphy decides to kick some ass as cop Axel Foley. This is definitely not a good movie, it’s probably the worse in the series. But it’s my guilty pleasure and it also puts a smile on my face. So, don’t take this review too seriously.
After his boss got killed in action, Axel Foley visits his old friend Billy Rosewood to help him find the guy who did it. Apparently he’s hiding in an amusement park called Wonder World.
Because of the setting, a theme park, this movie shouldn’t been taking all too seriously. You can expect it to become a bit silly. For me it has many hilarious scenes, that still make me laugh after a few times. But that’s probably just me. For example that scene where Axel meets his old acquaintance Serge. Call me weird, but it cracks me up every time.
“Beverly Hills Cop 3” is a movie I always watch when it’s on television, everyone has movies like that. So the rating is based on its entertainment level and not on the quality of the film.

Rating: 3,5/ 5
