In Coming 2 America, Akeem Joffer (Eddie Murphy), the king of the African nation of Zamunda, returns to New York City to find his estranged adult son and raise him as an heir. Just like in the original, Murphy and Hall will play multiple characters.
The original Coming to America isn t one of Murphy s most celebrated comedies among critics, but it s well remembered for its predominantly Black cast, which included one of Samuel L. Jackson s first film appearances. The movie was one of the highest box office earners of 1988, earning more than $350 million. Coming 2 America was originally planned for a theatrical release in December 2020, but Prime Video purchased the distribution rights to make it a streaming exclusive.
Like millions of others, I picked up a pair of knitting needles for the first time when the pandemic began. For almost a year, my new hobby has helped me unwind, keep my brain active, and avoid doomscrolling for hours on my phone. Kat Barber/Business Insider
But perhaps the greatest benefit has been a deeper connection to the people I m knitting for. As an Australian living overseas, it s been over a year since I ve seen family or friends, many of whom have had new babies I haven t had the chance to meet yet.
As I knit and purl my way through a baby beanie, I imagine one day being able to place it on that tiny head, and it makes me feel closer to the people I miss the most. Plus, completing a cute handmade project at the end of the week provides a sense of accomplishment and pride many of us may crave.
The Kindle Oasis is a premium e-reader that we called the best overall e-reader. The only thing that makes this model international is the packaging, as users must pick the language for the e-reader during setup no matter what edition they buy.
The 9th-generation Oasis features 8GB of storage, a 7-inch display with 300 pixels-per-inch (PPI), physical page-turning buttons, and battery life of up to six weeks when reading for half an hour per day. It also has a waterproof design and even works with Audible books so you can listen to your favorite books.
We loved its thin design, bright screen, tactile page-turning buttons, easy library access, and the Kindle store s massive selection of books. The only downside is that Amazon e-readers do not support the industry standard EPUB format, meaning you can t buy books from other online sellers.
