Cop Out

I'm a big Kevin Smith fan and I'll watch just about any movie with Bruce Willis in it where it looks like he might shoot somebody and/or make me laugh. And while Cop Out has a decent funny Bruce Willis to kick-ass Bruce Willis ratio, it doesn't really deliver as well as it should. Don't get me wrong, this movie isn't nearly as bad as some of the critics would have you believe, it just isn't super awesome either. It's probably the least Kevin Smith-like movie that Kevin Smith has ever made, filmed with fewer static dialogue shots from a script that he did not write himself. I say it's worth checking out, but your mileage may vary.

Tesseracts


Nope, you're not having an acid flashback, it's a tesseract! It is to a 3 dimensional cube what a cube is to a 2 dimensional square: fucking TRIPPY. Apparently, the hypersurface of the tesseract consists of 8 cubic cells, 3 per edge. If you can find them all, you win a tube of airplane glue and a paper bag courtesy of R3.
