Prince Akeem of Zamunda -- a kind of African Shangri-La -- selects Queens, N.Y., to seek out a bride who will love him for himself, and "who will arouse my intellect as well as my loins." He finds one of those, right enough, but a dearth of laughs. Eddie Murphy, …
Director and co-writer Robert Kenner’s account of a narrowly avoided — through sheer good luck — nuclear missile disaster on U.S. soil in 1980. But while there is genuine tragedy and just frustration at the military’s behavior before, during, and after the crisis caused by a dropped wrench and a …
