Reviewing films slightly off the beaten path
“The Last Boy Scout” is one of the most enjoyable buddy cop films of the Nineties. Tony Scott’s beautifully shot action film has received a wonderful 4K release by Arrow Video that easily earns our highest recommendation. They simply do not make them like this anymore.
“Beverly Hills Cop II” is a sequel that in many ways is the equal of the first film. The cinematography by Jeffrey Kimball and direction by Tony Scott make the film a winner. The UHD by Paramount looks fantastic.
“Beverly Hills Cop” is the film that elevated Eddie Murphy to superstar status. A great blend of comedy and action, it helped establish the formula for buddy cop movies in the Eighties. Paramount’s UHD release is the best the film has looked.
“Another 48 Hrs.” is an enjoyable follow up to “48 Hrs.” that can’t quite match the original. The Paramount Presents release looks and sound great.
