Ashton Kutcher and Jamie Foxx Team Up For Buddy-Cop Movie "Streets on Fire"

It has been awhile since we had buddy cop movies, last one maybe Rush Hour 3 and this weekend's movie Cop-Out .

The buddy cop genre may be making a comeback, however. Ashton Kutcher, via his Katalyst Films shingle, is producing Streets on Fire, a buddy cop action-comedy drama (which one?) with designs to star. His partner? Jamie Foxx. (Maybe they hit it off on the set of Valentine’s Day.) Let’s see here: One black, one white partner. Check. One by the books, one freewheeling partner? Check. And one with facial hair, one without? Check. Ladies and gentlemen: The buddy-cop trifecta!

The script, which was on the 2009 Black List, comes from Justin Britt-Gibson, a 27-year-old freelance journalist slash screenwriter who once wrote quite an impressive piece on race relations for the Washington Post. And while I’m sure the script must have been decent if it made the Black List, the logline is typical of buddy cop movies: It’s about a straight arrow Chicago cop with anger issues (Foxx) who teams up with a brash and cocky one (Kutcher), and the two “become anything other than friends.” They stumble into a gang of killers intercepting the city’s drugs, and reluctantly agree to work together on the case, only to find out that the vicious gang is actually made up of dirty cops.

Movie Review: #Vacation

By Matt Cummings
Vacation makes me want to take a STAY-cation. Review by Matt Cummings It's not too often that a movie makes me wish film never existed, yet her I am ready to give the newest Vacation all the hate it deserves. And hate on it I will. Grown-up Rusty (Ed Helms) is stuck in a dull marriage to Debbie (Christina Applegate), who's been forced year after year to spend vacation with her family at a cabin in Michigan. When the overly optimistic Rusty realizes his family needs a change, he packs them up for a trip to Walley World, the site of his greatest trip as a teen. But soon, his family begins to encounter difficulties and flat-out disasters that could end their road trip and return Rusty's marriage back to square one. It might surprise our readers to know that someone from our team actually considered walking out of Vacation , and we get to see these films for free. That's how bad our experience became as we sat mesmerized by its 99 minutes of ineptit...

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

By Matt Cummings
The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim...
