Well, I guess there's not much of anything to complain about in this
year's Oscar nominations; I either didn't see the film, or the
nomination seems appropriate (or at least somewhat credible).
However, not wanting to disappoint all those people who look forward
to a really ridiculous nomination (Pia Zadora nominated for best
anything (other than "prop") would have been a good example), I do note
one which fits into this category....
Daniel Petrie Jr., for "Beverly Hills Cop"
Whoooooooop! Haahaahaa! <insert Bronx Cheer here> cough cough
cough...
What few laughs I got out of this movie came from Eddie Murphy and his
glib, slick stage performance. He took a very bad script by Mr. Petrie
and turned it into something at least appealing enough to watch without
fidgiting (too much). While liking or disliking this movie seems to be
a matter for debate in net.movies, I would like to think that anybody
who *did* enjoy this movie have Murphy to thank for it. Not Petrie.
Who is probably a honkey anyway....
