Slow week here folks right in the full fledged heat of summer as just two flicks are opening up. Eddie Murphy does all he can to try and resurrect his career, but I really don’t see what happening. Imagine That! See what I did there? On a cooler note; John Travolta looks to be portraying his coolest character since Broken Arrow. Pick one or the other…but then again, just pick one.
