- A recent e-issue of pop culture mag GeekChicDaily lists “Cop Out” among their “Top 10 for the First Half of 2010”:
Cop Out (Feb. 26) Kevin Smith directs Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan as the po-po, in what we’re hoping will be the funniest cop film since Bad Boys (the original, not Bad Boys 2). Our prediction: When it comes to buddy cops, Tracy Morgan is the next Eddie Murphy and/or Will Smith!
- The two major Australian theatre chains are advertising March 18th as the release date for “Cop Out”. Curiously, though, one of them is also advertising another movie called “A Couple Of Dicks”, supposedly opening on February 25th — Obviously an error, of course. Still, March 18th means Aussies are getting the film just a few weeks after North America, and a full month before the U.K.
- Empire Online cites the protests surrounding Dogma in their article titled “Cinema Can Be Hazardous To Your Health!”.
