It’s a twofer – first up:
I was listening to Smodcast and was wondering if I could find out how Cop Out was without having to pay money to see it, because of all the stuff I heard, none of it was really good.
So I googled it and found an actual copy of the movie on Ustream! the funniest part it was shot in the theatre and streamed live as the dude watched the movie, what a great idea.
So on to my review.
First off, they go through a bunch of movie quotes in the very opening scene, which is fine, but you don’t have to tell me the fucking references! It’s insulting and makes the jokes less funny, that bothered me.
But other than that, I didn’t mind the movie at all, I kind of enjoyed it, it seems like one of those movies that you end up watching on a Sunday afternoon when you are hung over and too effed up to search for the remote.
They pull out every cop movie cliche you could think of and Tracy Morgan is friggin hilarious, as always. The story is interesting enough, and the supporting cast is having a ball, you can just tell. I think Kevin Smith harkened back to the days of 80s cop movies and interesting enough, managed to mix in his thoughts and feelings on male insecurity, adult relationships and being a nerd boy, but to me it wasn’t overt, but what do I know.
Oh, and the soundtrack is great. So in your spare time, like at work when your boss isn’t looking, check it out.
I really think that watching movies on a small screen with not so great quality does take away from your reaction to the movie but I did sit through the whole thing.

next, is Real Genius, some of Kilmer’s best work, on hulu. This movie is awesome, I may be dating myself(non exclusive) but this movie is rad, although it is hard to seperate art from nostalgia.
