welcome to the second ever what the flight primero straight through along
with mad at you from rotten tomatoes as usual
and today fell out for ben nighthorse whose actually working for turner
classic movies of right now is kristi let me ask her
the credit for those those data price
what american society
thank you for asking
very percussive alright we review two movies today one is cop-out was in the
theaters now and the others in format which is out on dvd now
that's starring matt damon
of course will start with cop-out and mastered exploited
so cop-out is
a buddy cop
movie kind of based on allot of what we saw an eight
stars bruce willis moved to the top of easily
eighties and treating organ did not
the because he was begun probably abn
directed by kevin smith which they have a really promoted a lot of
that may come as a surprise to some people
and kevin smith fair
anne's
may or may not like this police worries about a couple of policemen that
have been partners for nine years and they get suspended for messing up the
bodice
bad because they're suspended bruce willis is worried about how he's gonna
pay for his daughters
wedding it can
and so he decides to solve a spark our which gets stolen it becomes theirs
somewhat farcical story about whether or not they could find a baseball card
there's a drug dealer involved if you want to make a trade
that's it
you know and it's really it's the
movies dat scott movie cliche laura
that i think this other question for you as well threat maybe a little guys over
there by the way so they were so many things that they might uh... which is
our initial pork right
ut
is this like scary movies and it's supposed to be a send-up of forty eight
hours of beverly hills cop in the all of those movies right
or is it supposed to be just one of those who've is to leave at it is in our
lives to use the word that you know a lot inkatha out on the edge as consumer
news muhammad converts graphite hobbling it
naked but let's not get over this hot kind of parity like date movie bruises
rediculous likes
get a logical
and physically anywhere
but evil odette d curry a lot like eighties movie do you carry this again
but there's an carol falter buyers court the guy who did axle at the guy who did
the flesh score if you love the eighties buddy cop movies
hidup arms that held part of my heart to the point that tracy morgan
will say which lines he's doing
which movies he's doing lines department is ulc mini anywhere
he's like shaking down with some guy interrogation room
and he's quality
likes are facing heat based and giving us that the benefit out of no cable we
howling references
with what they're going to of now you're just doing up at you know in heat like
that that's how dumb the movie is it being here over the head
witherspoon references now i a sensor somebody who didn't buy the movie is
that most but let me just say first it doris
it's both surprising on surprise ok air for my point of view that number one
it's unsurprising in that it is exactly what you think yesterday there is a an
older cop buddies younger koppel black up on a white cop but no one of
americans
you know i can take their share anymore i_r_a_ arborist what roger ebert calls
the ones in right
ones that they're had prepared
and then what i was like i'm waiting for the cap the cap may gets angry at them
starts yelling at them out like not only does it right so
but they do it on purpose inimical maggi fuel right
so it but what surprised me christianity you disagree with this is that
i didn't think i was expected to be the worst movie of the year and i don't
think it was
there's some case you thought it was nine and not i think a lot of movie that
is not a bad works few ferry is worse than death when in rome is worth funny
moments here in there
tracy morgan just showing up
and running tracy morgan is entertaining with me about this movie is it is like
simultaneously
lady and
frantic
with the entire scrap is a bunch of pop culture reference is whatever
selling its so hard they're working so hard to make those jokes funny and i he
had in mind that you know i didn't mind it's it's one of those things that you
know i i would never go idon't regret going to see i thought it was funny i
was laughing
desperately hurt
i was laughing in the theater i thought it was
again a lot of industry cemar got a lot of it is bruce willis
kinda having that winking
style three women and really
in the right role
even if he's kind of phoning it in a movie like this this bruce willis
caribbean bruce willis and that's fine
if you're going to see a movie that's kind of
trying to be atop movie and actually read while still kinda making fun of
those buildings
the better movies he's hot fuzz this is no hot fuzz laptop hot fuzz is a great
many i'm going to drive british wit to embrace it
funny and charming and not like annual had with you were funny come laughing
life and i don't recall the other critics this one to be fails what
i think it was gene siskel would say you know if this will be better
with this big move with just let me be any better than watching these actors
sitting around
victor
and
well it's right on the border with me i mean shockwaves got is kind of funny
although
weird in this movie
you know analogy has who is getting a little have tv's old age
who i think it's funny
you know it's got a great cast
kevin pollack who i know you know and have had fun with
you know if it's ok
ethical it's not
soft terrible
you know but it's not memorable and i guess that's to me
because the gaming industry praise it's dad's
it's let's look at the for a limited
you know in a year for new york overwrite suspected hot fuzz
me those guys did kaka about that right haha party for dr
all right now considering these through and i think sense of trying to get info
strata
max laughing increases like
cannot be delivered and now i'm also imposed by my own biased because i'm
thinking this is going to be worse i wouldn't go in
faded at but why do we have to watch some of it
but i was surprised i hate and i thought they were funny parts dot you know
tracy morgan is way over the top have but
you know there was a little of and i lost my leg in vietnam and i wasn't all
right okay i kinda like this so you know what i want to giving it ilka a
five-point eight which is pretty highs much i'd like to give me a sense the
ratings you know under five and i would suggest don't waste your time seeing
rated it between five and six you know it's on h_b_o_ or you get a dvd of night
are you
but for me eight is a movie you should see nine is also in the senate sort of
five point eight i'm surprised that i am above five and up and i'm like yeah but
isleye tracy were delightful bruce willis was less over the top of me can
be
uh... but ivalice on win scott was blossom i thought it was almost worth
watching old movies
until he was really weird
but he was supposed to be really with rack i thought he saw the movie handle
and stick it in the whole way to refute that repeating whatever they have to
faint only
and it would not at pundits are talking about and i think that he's been doing
right they do it
wants that's maybe funny they do it like eighteen times in this movie in its
ridiculous know sometimes repetitive humor takes a lot like this one of the
first time not fire the second or third time
but the night time because back to being funny in its opening have as well as a
word on retail
so how much is your favorite by the and acting in their when that yes plan plate
five
it gets a point five from me because it race and we're gonna laugh a couple
things here there's a couple of
flats references
that i found using whatever
and he mentioned that this is a rare thing the kevin smith to drexel is the
script dot to the first time his epitome of the script
it's very kevin smith either the same time as telegraphing cokie
decently isn't it
lot of the batik references
that's doubt because that there's a like the set very much either
i loaded tracing or is pretty good he is a point five petition worldwide me order
but then he was very impressive see im i'm
giving it provides for a group of avatars during the six at ticket was an
ok movie et would rather have seen
kevin smith direct something wrote feel like
smith to do better with action sequences of public reaction
what little action there was
wasn't really that excite
but it's ok
you know it
a part of that is in looking at the end of movies that are out right now
you know you libya if your cabin stuff and if you like treating organs like
bruce willis
you will be that the support
before i looked at the conclusion it is a blur lieutenant exactitude what do you
like these guys
we
so that was a average here list a little bit ridge it uh... it appears they have
four point four because christie brought it out
away but i drag it down again and again and again i have to have been fabulous
below the five please legal fund
all right so there's your cop-out review
and now uh... listserve
go to a dvd release the informant starring matt damon was out of a so the
informant is the story of mark whitaker who work for our children archer daniels
midland
hand was working
alignment they're lighting business which is a food additives that is made
from corn it goes into just about everything
hands there was possible f_b_i_ investigation about something else
and when the f_b_i_ came and he probably blew the whistle about price fixing
which the f_b_i_ did put in the work as an informant
and you kind of see a complete mental breakdown of that it was character mark
whitaker
this is based on a novel
uh...
adams directed by steven soderbergh
a lot of people didn't see it
didn't get really probably the attention it deserves the distributor for the
movie was eighty five percent certified fresh
or a higher accolades
the critics loved the movie for the most part
but the audience just wasn't there and it's one of those things that i think
we've discussed
talking about a time today show so that people would really cannot see it's a
great performance
i'll just jump in with my realtor great performance
by matt fantastic and it's a
it's at
you know the equally it's at the same time holly respect horrifying seeing
what whitaker dot you know they they
talk about later the film that he's
uh... diagnose with bipolar disorder and you really see this
and i can only described as a mental breakdown
he starts making things up and the olsat part of the story and probably noticed
by now is as he was
blowing the whistle as he was a reason to form if he was embezzling
a_t_f_ and
he ended up doing more jail time three times as much till five as any of the
executives
that were indicted in the price for it
there are people who unisom the agents that he worked with
will swear up and doubt that he was the hero that story edits
terrible miscarriage of justice
yeah he ended up doing so much dot i hate
of course love that fame of below diverse the powerful
and unfortunately the powerful always wet
now this some nuances to ignition twists and turns in that story so you gotta see
how
now it turns out but
uh... you know is you see
the big guys getting away with the poignant para somatic
at a good
team obviously and i thought it was funny great acting matt damon setup
but you know i the thing that stop me from loving christy is that didn't feel
like
i is great is matt damon was in the movie and i
that i didn't get a true sense of why what's this guy's motivational why's he
doing what he's doing he stole quirky
bedecked i didn't have a full grasp of it i think it was only thing that i
was a little hesitant about the move
becomes clear i think happy when you when you know
what the deal is the way i love about the appointment for the whole way
through it that you don't know what the deal if you don't know whether he's just
avenida bag is in over his
whether he is doing to lose in the grand jury being the sleeper spy he comes out
double that of fourteen threat the smartest ebola seven it or whether he
really that devious and two presidents got yet know the whole way through but
you do find at the end i think that is the payoff and that is what your
purchase horrifying when you discover wet the truth is going on with him
psychologically i'm at that the weak link was with his wife
cuz you don't know what she knows and when she knows that she's is diluting
docile perfect suburban housewife and you wonder
how far she well she rolled and one of the things that i actually feel was
somewhat of a misfit this movie i thought would have actually attitude
somewhat surprising left out
is that the reason he went to the f_b_i_ in reality reason whitaker in reality
went to the f_b_i_
about the price fixing was he was pressured for plot
and she had said to him
that if you don't go to the f_b_i_ i'm gone
right now that well yeah i was that that was headed out in the movie but
or and you're right about the any thesis i thought there was something missing
like i wanted to know more about what motivated them even even at that
that so but having said that i'd really like to move this
very enjoyable matt damon had a great force i thought you should be nominated
for a class act like a reaction sabha surprised he didn't get nominated and
grammy but you wait for the role
he really kind of
moved away from that pretty boy personae
action hero you know the good looking guy
i like you really is playing a character an and you really
kinda disappears in a row which i thought was really impressed
you-know-who who remind your miami are now moving i don't know if you guys get
where brad pitt in burn after reading
that had a similar like almost over the top kind of character really quirky
character
and and i'll i'll bribe him out
a role to sort of
at the end you know i gotta say i_d_ idea of the movie at seven point five
when i was tempted to go all the way they
okay but because i uh... i thought it wasn't quite bare abut
if think if you read this movie
at this point obvious is that on dvd
ivy vivi
not pleasantly surprised which is happy with it i think that's a helluva dvd-ram
so i i would always was to assemble a thought maybe i am undersell crap
and i'm a little bit
then of
little bit over your score i'd candidate
i think it's a fantastic marie i think it's a little bit something different
that we've seen of the students out of ur
uh... alice feel like based partly it's the score in the title cards you can see
i felt like it could be deal didn't know what i'm gonna say
i felt like a suburb almost channeling blake edwards
there were times this movie that almost felt like a blake edwards movie in that
some of the stuff that whitaker dies
at some of the twists and turns of his reactions to things i'll say these
things
chop-chop
that its
you know he the mud for instance the amount of money that he keeps a dazzling
keeps changing
and he'll talk to the fed to the top of the f_b_i_ and he's the one st higher
number
you know or
his lawyer at some point comes into does this amazing performance which again
happen in real life say
to the department of justice that here's a guy that you guys used for three years
with no training going undercover
of course he cracked of course he cracked
of course he was going to basil and
really start
losing himself you have to take it easy or they offered a plea bargain
and wicker himself as owner
and i are some personal injury will
who shows up you know that you see the movie show up
to meet with the o_j_ in
quite sure and i think it
the it's just
but as a thing though i meet with you was he was so corky that he was born on
dump
and that's what couldn't help me with some of the entire it to be a c although
i don't know when i got was great in real life is that
it was note this kind of sanity
at this happen and that's what i that's what really solving
i can't happen and i said a bird made it comedy
he may have really serious action thriller drama like the insider or an
ozone air rocket whatever it's a comedy is a seventy ce dot com isle of the way
it shot
if anything did kinda
it beijing is without really heavy back lighting from our dallas kalani field
area seventy that love that about it
and also just the interior monologue which makes a lot more sense upon the
second viewing it starts giving you a clue
as to is true mental status is totally
amin bizarre observations on like the word for tuna in japanese and add the
word for penny in germany and he's not exactly as they come out of nowhere then
you realize
upon second viewing
well okay this is a clue well and what i thought was great and i don't wanna
spoil anything but it's it's not so much that the invoice over is a narration so
much as its
of real time
cover real tight thought process
which is fascinating once i figure that out
dapi in really changes we're going to get and to your point about
it being a comedy i'm not sure you could go any other way with that story being
his insider well right but uh... you know that but if you went with something
like the insider it's there's no way to playoff
your character your informit
acting so crazy i don't think you could you know happen let you go daddy i guess
you could you know if you want with like a shutter island type of thing where but
you know uh... is a great is it is a prisoner died right at up i hear you any
of the person is a really good point of the alike
it's the kind of movie d_c_ twice which is then you know that that's pretty high
praise for a movie consider you can see players
that such good dialogue in in such good acting by mapping watcher finals for
clinton eight
i really like to enact that get mcilvane overlooked and get things because the
subject matter militant could get their hands around
what is this thing that the comedy bits about life seems like anemic and people
at the end of the time and that it was great allies of the news that you see
dvd rental because i mean we're all the way up to an average of seven point
eight on it
the pretty damn high school or not must give the sins acting as you guys did
and we seemed a lot of grace for so
apparently go see them for me
i'll get org over and without of
next week benazir be back
and we are in a review alice in wonderland and brooklyn's finest which
has ethan hawke was excised on shavuot richard gere
all moving forward to come in internal affairs room
