•1/2 (out of 5)
There are a few different ways to look at the new buddy cop film “Cop Out,” and unfortunately for the movie, it only works as one of them.

‘Edge of Darkness’ has many loose ends
Actor comebacks can sometimes be a bigger story than the movie they’re in. We saw that with Demi Moore when she played the villain in “Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle,” and we might be swerving into the same territory with Mel Gibson in “Edge of Darkness.”

‘Morgans’ a mixed bag
When faced with a sure-to-be juggernaut sci-fi box office spectacular like “Avatar,” Hollywood has learned that the best thing they can do is offer up some counter-programming.

‘Avatar’ is a movie worth going to a theater to see
One of the things I have loved about 2009 as a year of cinema isn’t the wealth of great movies. After all, the pickings have been relatively slim, an aftershock of the 2008 writer’s strike.

‘The Princess & the Frog’ is a delight
One of the saddest things that happened to feature films a few years ago was the demise of the 2D animation arm of Walt Disney Studios. Sure, they still outsourced television shows and continued to crank out the direct-to-DVD product, but after the unfortunate mediocre success of “Home on the Range,” the Mouse House put an end to the hand-drawn features in lieu of the CGI juggernaut.

Fans over the moon for new ‘Twilight’
When high school seniors take their senior pictures, they often bring along props that tell who they are and what’s important to them. The linebacker will bring his football helmet, and the musician her saxophone or some sheet music. The four-wheelin’ fan may pose next to his beloved pickup truck.

Disaster flick ‘2012’ has impressive effects, but could be improved with better editing
There are a few directors in Hollywood whom I will defend to the bitter end. They make crap, but I love the crap they make. These directors include Renny Harlin, Paul W.S. Anderson, Brett Ratner and Roland Emmerich.

Authentic ’70s vibe, strong performances make up for flaws in dark thriller ‘The Box’
The first time I heard of “Donnie Darko” was from this guy who used to work late nights at a Speedway near my house. Every time I went into the Speedway, he asked if I saw the movie. Eventually I did, and I immediately saw why people like this clerk at Speedway made Richard Kelly’s 2001 film a cult classic.
