A Bit About "Cop Out"

Hello faithful reader(s).

Much like Wilder and his early viewing of Funny People, I have seen Cop Out, directed by Kevin Smith.

I, much like Wilder, had to sign a non-disclosure agreement.

All I can say, the movie is great and a lot of the women in the audience liked it too.

I also got to shake Kevin Smith's hand and tell him I enjoyed the movie.

Needless to say, I'm super giddy.

More to come later.

Review: ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO

So Zack and Miri made a porno. Then I reviewed it.

Basic Summary (Spoilers May Occur) - not major ones though!

Zack (Seth Rogen) and Miri (Elizabeth Banks) are two friends who have known each other in the platonic way since 1st grade. Now they live in a little loft in the suburbs. However, neither of them have jobs that are that great. Zack works with his best friend Delany (Craig Robinson) at a coffee shop known as Bean-n-Gone, under an unforgiving boss (Gerry Bednob). After work one day, Zack purchases a 'self pleasure' item, and subsequently finds out he cannot pay the bills for the month. The power and water get shut down. So rather than live like hobos, they get Delany to invest as a producer, and decide to join the porn industry with Zack and Miri as the main stars. However... soon it becomes apparent that this media venture will not run as smoothly as it did on paper.

Kevin Smith Makes a Porno

Why is that the word 'porno' is so much funnier than 'porn'?

Whatever the reason, Kevin Smith knows his comedy, and is back with an all new film, Zack and Miri Make a Porno.

Zack and Miri (Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks) star as two life long friends who, in order to make money to keep their apartment, decide to make a porno. But sex on camera isn't all daises and bundt cake, and soon the two realize that they may have more feelings for each other than they previously expected.

The cast looks great. While not part of the Askewniverse, Smith has endeavored to cast a bunch of his regulars, including but not limited to Jeff Anderson and Jason Mewes.

But the cast is also riddled with Apatow's gang. Besides the obvious Seth Rogen, Smith has cast Justin Long, Craig Robinson, and Gerry Bednob. I haven't seen Bednob in a movie since his memorable cameo in Walk Hard, so I am looking forward to that with great excitement.

This movie is sure to be hilarious. The trailer has been released, so definitely check it out. I know I'll be there opening night.

Here's the trailer. It's Pretty NSFW, but hilarious and Craig Robinson seems to steal almost every laugh.



PS - The poster that I uploaded is pretty great. However, it's the Canadian one. This was banned in the US. Oh, that Kevin Smith.

Zack and Miri discharge October 31.
