Forty years ago this December saw the release of the most popular AND influential action comedies of all time.  This was star Eddie Murphy's immediate follow-up to his two breakout hits the previous years, 48 Hrs. in '82 and then Trading Places in '83, only THIS time he was the sole star above the title for the first time.  And Eddie did not disappoint with this fish-out-of-water comedy about a Detroit cop named Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) who travels across the country to Beverly Hills to investigate the murder of his best friend.  Even though that might not SOUND like the set-up for an comedic film, Murphy's gift for improvisation and a game supporting cast (John Ashton, Judge Reinhold playing two local cops whom he teams up with in Beverly Hills) bring a lot of humor to the proceedings regardless, along with a clever Oscar-nominated script from Daniel Petrie Jr and top-flight helming from director Martin Brest whose follow-up would be the even better Midnight Run four years later.  What results are memorable characters, quotable lines, and of course a kicking soundtrack including an iconic synth score from Harold Faultemeyer.  The Heat IS On!

Un gruppo di spietati terroristi ben armato e addestrato, fa irruzione in un liceo per ragazzi ricchi e problematici, alla ricerca di un prezioso ostaggio per i loro scopi. Quando sapranno che l'adolescente è già stato portato via dalle autorità, decideranno di porre sotto sequestro l'intero edificio e inizierà una lunga trattativa con l'esercito e la polizia all'esterno, mentre un gruppo di studenti deciderà di giocare il tutto per tutto per salvare la situazione. Film ingiustamente snobbato e dimenticato, ma cult per il sottoscritto. Una buona pellicola action, con un Sean Astin mai più così fisicato e momenti d'azione veramente ben realizzati. Tipica pellicola di genere di inizio anni 90, che merita una riscoperta, secondo me.

Louisiana Anthology Podcast

535. We talk to Christopher M. Finan about his book, How Free Speech Saved Democracy. "Free speech is not an obstacle to change: it is the way change happens... To those who see free speech as a threat to democracy, Finan offers engaging evidence from a long and sometimes challenging history of free speech in America to show how free speech has been essential to expanding democracy. From the beginning of American history, free speech has been used to advocate for change. In the 19th century, abolitionists, advocates for women's rights, and leaders of the labor movement had to fight for free speech. In the 20th century, the civil rights and anti-war movements expanded free speech, creating a shield for every protest movement we see today" (Finan). This week in Louisiana history. August 11, 1856. A hurricane kills more than 200 people vacationing at Isle Derniere (Last Island). This week in New Orleans history.

oin me next week with actor, author, writer, and director Clete Keith as we talk about his book, Ghosts of Greystone Beverly Hills. This book is a non-fiction account of the famous Doheny estate in Beverly Hills and the hundreds of accounts and documented paranormal activity.

Clete Keith began his entertainment career at age 17 acting in Repertory Theater. While in the theatre, Clete sharpened his skills not only as an actor, but also began writing and directing. His career continued with numerous television roles. Clete's first film, which he wrote, starred in, and co-directed, was DEAD SILENCE, a.k.a. STARDUMB, a finalist in the Santa Barbara Film Festival. Clete wrote and starred in THE FOOL. This 35mm film was a finalist at both the Palm Springs Short Film Festival and the Hollywood Film Festival. Later that year, THE FOOL was rated one of the top 5 most watched short films on the Sci-Fi channel. Clete wrote, starred in, and directed the film INSTANT TRAUMA. TRAUMA won “Best Mockumentary” at the New York International Film and Video Festival and was highlighted at the Nashville Film Festival with a panel discussion about the film. INSTANT TRAUMA also landed Clete a seat on the writers' panel at the Sedona Film Festival which included Ron Bass, Bo Goldman, and writer/director, Daniel Petrie Jr., and the highlighted film of this sold-out symposium. Clete then wrote and directed the feature 3 DAYS BLIND which won the Best Comedy Feature in the Toronto World of Comedy International Film Festival. In late 2010, Clete finished the screenplay GINORMOUS, a script about two characters who are completely different in height, background and age but have a common bond in their hearts. Clete then turned his pen to theater. He wrote THE DIFFERENT SHADES OF HUGH. HUGH had a 9-week run in Los Angeles capping it off with an excellent review from the Los Angeles Times. He went on to write 4 more plays: ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM, ANTIQUE WHITE, LIFE SUPPORT, and his latest, ROYAL. Thanks for following!

In 1984, Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer conceptualized and funded the fish out of water/buddy cop comedy Beverly Hills Cop.  With Sylvester Stallone, Al Pacino, Richard Pryor, and James Caan in mind for the starring role, it eventually went to Eddie Murphy who plays the charming but over the top Axel Foley.  Well written by Daniel Petrie Jr. and competently directed by Martin Brest, Beverly Hills Cop was made for $15M, and went on to make $316M in the box office, making it the highest earning R rated movie until the Matrix Reloaded in 2003.  But does it hold up?  Listen as Jon, Colin and Brent live the high life in Beverly Hills and see if Axel’s antics can save our hosts from as much trouble as he gets them into, or if his smart mouth and risky choices leave them wanting more, sitting in a jail cell, or buried six feet under Rodeo Drive.

You can find my podcast with Screenwriter/Producer/Director Daniel Petrie Jr. here. In this episode, I have the honor of chatting with screenwriter/producer/director Daniel Petrie Jr. ("Beverly Hills Cop," "Big Easy," "Shoot To Kill," "Turner & Hooch," "About Cherry," "The 6th Day," "Dawn Patrol"). He's worked with actors such as Eddie Murphy, Tom Hanks, Dennis Quaid, Ellen Barkin, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sidney Poitier. We talk about everything from starting out in the mailroom at ICM to how the script for "Beverly Hills Cop" was developed to what goes into directing an action scene with multiple helicopters. DANIEL PETRIE JR.'S BIO Screenwriter, producer and director Daniel Petrie, Jr. was nominated for an Academy Award for his first produced script, the box-office hit Beverly Hills Cop, starring Eddie Murphy. Next came Petrie’s original screenplay of the romantic thriller The Big Easy, starring Dennis Quaid and Ellen Barkin. Petrie then served as producer of the thriller Shoot to Kill, starring Sidney Poitier and Tom Berenger, and as executive producer of the comedy Turner & Hooch, starring Tom Hanks; Petrie co-wrote both films. Petrie also served as executive producer of The 6th Day, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. In 2011, Petrie was executive producer, showrunner and co-creator of Combat Hospital, simulcast on Canada’s Global TV and ABC in the U.S. The 13 episode TV series, a coproduction of Canada’s Sienna Films and the U.K.’s Artists Studios, featured an ensemble cast headed by Elias Koteas, Michelle Borth, Luke Mably, Deborah Kara Unger, Terry Chen and Arnold Pinnock. Petrie's directorial debut was the film Toy Soldiers, starring Sean Astin, Wil Wheaton, and Louis Gossett, Jr., which he also co-wrote. Petrie also directed the HBO film Dead Silence, starring James Garner and Marlee Matlin, and adapted and directed the TNT movie Framed, starring Rob Lowe and Sam Neill. Recently, Petrie wrapped principal photography on the indie feature Dawn Patrol starring Scott Eastwood, Jeff Fahey and Rita Wilson; the film, which Petrie directed and executive produced, is slated for a 2014 release. In 2006, Petrie and producing partner Rick Dugdale founded Enderby Entertainment, an independent film, television and digital media company with an old-fashioned emphasis on storytelling, on the creative side, and transparency, on the financial side. In addition to financing and producing Dawn Patrol, the company arranged the financing and co- produced writer/director Stephen Elliot’s film About Cherry, starring James Franco and Heather Graham, which premiered at the 2012 Berlin International Film Festival. Enderby’s thriller division, Tony-Seven Films, has also financed and produced five genre pictures: The Speak, Vile, 5 Souls, A Haunting at Silver Falls and No Tell Motel. Petrie inherits a tradition of volunteer service to the motion picture and television industry from his parents: Petrie’s father was the late, Emmy-winning Canadian director and long time Directors Guild of America board member Daniel Petrie, Sr.; Petrie’s mother is the Emmy-winning television producer and long time Producers Guild of America board member Dorothea Petrie. Daniel Petrie, Jr. has an extensive history of service to the Writers Guild of America West, Inc., serving two terms each as President (1997-99 and 2004-2005) and as Vice President (1995-97 and 1999-2001). In 2013, Petrie was the recipient of the Writers Guild’s Morgan Cox Award, given to that “member whose vital ideas, continuing efforts, and personal sacrifice best exemplify the ideal of service to the Guild. Petrie also served as a Governor of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (1997-1999), as a Trustee of the American Film Institute (2004-2011), and is a long time member of the Academy Foundation’s Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting Committee (1996-2004, 2006-present). Petrie currently serves as Vice President, Programs, of the Writers Guild Foundation. In that capacity, Petrie provides general support for all the programs of the Foundation, which include a High School Literacy Program and screenwriting workshops for veterans. Petrie created and moderates the Foundation’s annual “Notes on Craft” program, a series of six evenings discussing various aspects of the screenwriting craft for an audience of both WGA members and aspiring screenwriters. Petrie has also long been an active volunteer for the Austin Film Festival and Screenwriting Conference, sitting on the Festival’s Board of Advisors. In 2012, the Austin Film Festival announced the addition of a new “Enderby Entertainment Award” to the festival’s screenwriting competition. The new award is open to feature screenplays in all genres with an original concept and distinctive voice that can be independently produced with a production budget under $5 million. Finalists and winners are selected by Petrie and Dugdale. Petrie, who has dual U.S. and Canadian citizenship, lives in the Los Angeles area with his wife of over thirty years, Constance Petrie.
