Cop Out
Shockingly shallow plotting and characterization make this film near unwatchable. Nearly everyone involved seemed to be mailing it in — none worse than Bruce Willis, except for maybe director Kevin Smith, who almost seemed to be actively spitting in the audience’s face. The film’s only saving grace was Tracy Morgan, who clearly wants to move beyond his success on TV and take his shtick to Hollywood. He, and Sean Williams Scott, provided enough chuckles to keep me awake.
Final score: 1 out of 5
The Crazies
A fun little post-apocalyptic romp (the fourth of 2010?). I was surprised by how well Breck Eisner executed the genre conventions and created a number of effective sequences. Read the full review over at Bloody Good Horror.
