Cop Out (2010)
Cute movie, for all the bad gun gestures
I found myself getting really annoyed by how often certain characters pulled their weapons and used them to gesture casually towards themselves and others. Through the whole film you're waiting for Tracey Morgan to accidentally shoot himself in the foot...or head. Uhm, yeah. Basic training teaches police officers not to pull their weapon unless they are intending to use it. Aside from the excessive use of ammo., this movie had some great one liners, but somewhat predictable ending. Bruce Willis had his typical cop act down pat. As usual. Sean William Scott is hilarious, if only slightly annoying. There's a great little spoof involving him at the end of the movie. Rashida Jones was cute in here, too. Would watch this movie again.
MegaFault (2009)
If the spontaneous combustion doesn't kill you, the bad acting will!
Eriq LaSalle and the late (in this movie, not-so)great Brittany Murphy should have run away...not from the MegaFault, but this MegaAWEFUL script. From watching peoples' heads spontaneously combust as they are walking down the street(presumably from the underground volcano) to the folks walking briskly after total strangers that grabbed their children from the family RV and ran to the Osprey, the overdramatically spoken lines and the generic special effects scream for help. LaSalle's acting was good for what he was given and Murphy's presence shows that she was physically ill not too long before her December 2009 death, as she was so gaunt in the opening sequence that she was unrecognizable. The woman's legs had a gap between them that goes all the way up, which is continually emphasized by the bad camera angles. Murphy's bad scripting goes on to show awkwardness with her lines in scenes dealing with the military. This role was not what I would have expected from a talented actress. All in all, this was a sad waste of money and Hollywood acting talent and a horrible way to remember such a talented young woman.
