Cop Out (2010)

Jimmy's rare baseball card is robbed. Since it's his only hope to pay for his daughter's upcoming wedding, he recruits his cop partner Paul to track down the robber, a memorabilia-obsessed gangster.

Misguided buddy cop comedy-drama with bottom-of-the barrel humor (in one scene the cops even punch a small child!); hard to watch a talented crew seamlessly go down the drain.

Maltin BOMB: "Crude, needlessly overlong, excruciating cop/buddy "comedy"...Annoying music score is icing on the cake."

Black Christmas (2006)

An escaped maniac returns to his childhood home on Christmas Eve, which is now a sorority house, and begins to murder the sorority sisters one by one.

Standard slasher horror movie with a typically confusing plot and some nastier moments.

Maltin BOMB: "Someone just had to remake the 1975 frightfest for the blood-and-gore generation. With no fresh ideas, (...).Might have been bearableif we hadn't seen it all a hundred times before. At least the diabolical elf of terror makes clever use of ornaments."
