Eddie has gotten comfortable.
Black Hollywood is afraid of risk.Though Spike semi redeemed himself with
"Miracle at St. Anna's".

I think that there may be two answers for that. Kid movies make a lot of cash.
No matter the quality of the film they play over and over around the world on
tv. (another example of this is Ice Cube)The other answer is
an for black kids to have a funny movie to see

Mr. Murphy, like the much ridiculed and caricatured Sammy Davis, Jr., before

still open a movie. Mr. Murphy's one shortcoming, also like Mr. Davis, Jr., is
that he is a workaholic and often takes work beneath his tale
I am sensitive and you should be, too. It is a sin and a shame how we allow
our national treasures to be devalued. Murphy, like Sammy Davis, Jr. before

The article is about the top bankable stars. Your comment was about the
article poo poo-ing Will Smith and Eddie Murphy. Any sensible human being
would realize that Harrison Ford still commands a top salary based on his
track record. Will gets play based on what he can do in the future.
Nice try, but you just hit me with another non-sequitur. Ford's "legend"
status has nothing to do with this. This so-called legend cannot open a movie
by himself. He is now a one-trick cowboy who has only one money role left in
his holster (and, frankly, I don't think he can pull another "Ind
What you seem to miss is that Harrison Ford has what I would call Legend
status and Will Smith only has a movie with legend in the title. This is all
relevant in a story called "Top Paid Actors" because they are trying to
explain why these actors are getting paid this much at this time. Here is

Having recently watched ten minutes of The Klumps, I can only say
Murphy has burned any cred he has ever earned with a blue flame.
I retroactively made Beverly Hills Cop worse.

I consider this throwing dirt to tarnish
How is the author throwing dirt? Eddie's last movie was a flop and Big Will
opens better than anyone...

It is interesting to me that the author of this piece finds it necessary to
throw dirt on the only two black actors on this list even though, unlike the
others on this list, they are consistently among the top ten earners, year in
and year out. Nobody is more resilient at the box office than Wi
