Movies Opening February 26

Category: 2010,Movies,Openingvelveetahead @ 3:15 pm

I thought The Crazies sounded really dumb when I first saw the commercial, but it is getting good reviews so maybe it is a decent horror film. There are some messed up limited releases that are out this week too.

Nationwide Releases

Cop Out
The Crazies

Cop Out
Directed: Kevin Smith
Starring: Seann William Scott, Jason Lee, Adam Brody, Tracy Morgan, Bruce Willis, Kevin Pollak, Guillermo Díaz
Trailer

Synopsis: Two cops bumbling around looking for a movie plot.

My Take: Kevin Smith directed this movie? I can see the reason why his name isn’t attached to any of the trailers.

RT Score: 20%
RT Consensus: Cop Out is a cliched buddy action/comedy that suffers from stale gags and slack pacing.

TV: Week of January 11

Category: TV,Upcomingvelveetahead @ 4:19 pm

This week is the official start of 24 since the movie in November was just to tie the last season and this current season together. For those that have DirectTV, they have already seen the season of Friday Night Lights that is now playing on NBC. It is the final season for Battlestar Galactica and soon American Idol will dominate the airwaves while I hope its ratings continue to die so it doesn’t take over so much tv every winter and spring like it has done the past few years.

Season Finales: Real Chance of Love

Pick of the Week

241

24
Channel: FOX
Time: 8/7c
Starring: Kiefer Sutherland, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Carlos Bernard, Annie Wersching, Cherry Jones, James Morrison, Jeffrey Nordling, Janeane Garofalo, Rhys Coiro, Colm Feore, Bob Gunton
Premieres: Sunday, January 11
Trailer

Synopsis: Jack Bauer is on trial in Washington, D.C. and Tony is back from the dead as the bad guy. It’s time for Jack to save the day again.

My Take: I quit watching halfway through season six since it wasn’t just beyond ridiculous but it was also boring. I am going to give it another shot to see if the extended break gave it any sort of breather it needed to revive itself back to its former glory. I found the 24: Redemption movie closer to the old version of the show so I have hope.
