Blu ray movie review of Cop Out

While I’m not a huge fan of Kevin Smith, I did enjoy some of his earlier movies like Clerks and Chasing Amy. His more recent movies like Jersey Girl and Zack And Miri Make a Porno was not as good as the earlier movies. The Cop Out is somewhat different movie from Kevin Smith. The buddy cop genre is something different from the Chasing Amy director. Given that I’m a big fan of Bruce Willis, I gave it a shot. The movie turned out to be one long SNL skit involving Tracy Morgan. Bruce Willis has always done very good comedy within his action films. While it’s not gut busting funny, I always got good chuckle out of his comedic chops. However, Cop Out was just painful to watch.

The plot is paper thin and not all that original. It’s about long time partners Jimmy and Paul at NYPD. They have been long time partners and good friends. Facing an astronomical wedding bill for his daughter, Jimmy decides to sell a rare baseball card. However, during the transaction, the collector’s shop gets robbed by two bumbling thieves. Jimmy and Paul eventually track down the two thieves and learn that baseball card has been turned over to a drug dealer. One thing leads to another and both cops find themselves involved in bigger crime.

Half of the movie is filled with Tracy Morgan’s antics. The other half is a bland cop comedy. Both are painful to watch. I can understand Tracy Morgan doing this movie. But, I can’t understand why Bruce Willis would do this awful movie. I would have rather seen another mediocre Die Hard film. And, Tracy Morgan shows no range as actor. He plays the same SNL character he has played in his entire career. I’m not asking for Shakespearean stuff but at least do something different in the comedic field. The over the top comedy gets old by the middle of the movie. Overall, I can’t honestly recommend this film to anyone.

Blu ray movie review of The Bounty Hunter

After string of bad movies, Jennifer Aniston makes another stinker in The Bounty Hunter. In all fairness, she did have Gerard Butler’s help in making this movie. While both are undoubtedly great actors, they seem to go out of their way to make bad movies for some reason. Aniston has enjoyed great success on television sitcom as well as some movies. However, she has failed to star in a decent movie in for a while. I’m not sure who is forcing her to star in these terrible movies. For Gerard Butler, he should stick with action/drama movies. While P.S. I love You was barely watchable, The Ugly Truth and The Bounty Hunter were both terrible romantic comedies.

Like the movie name suggests, the movie is about a husband chasing down his ex wife. Milo is a former cop who works as a bounty hunter for his friend’s business. When his ex wife, a reporter, jumps bail to chase down a lead, he jumps at the chance to bring in his ex wife. Murder cover up serves as a rather boring back drop to the story. The murder cover up is only convenient ploy to showcase the interaction between the two leads. The simple case of hunting down his ex wife turns out to be little more complicated as the two go at each other over their failed marriage and the current situation.

The trailer looked funnier than the actual movie. The stupid murder cover up was not all that intriguing. The film maker banked too much on the star power of Aniston and Butler. Even they couldn’t save this ridiculous movie. There were some funny moments but not enough to carry this movie. Overall, I cannot recommend this movie to even the hardcore fans of Aniston and Butler. Avoid this movie.
