Cop Out – new movie starring Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan

I just finished watching the “Cop Out” movie trailer and I must say I am definitely looking forward to seeing it. When I first heard that Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan were going to be in the same movie, I thought it was just a fib. I mean, the two are from totally different planets – one from what I like to call the “high life” and the other originates from an “I’m-too-sexy-for-my-gun” world afar. But it’s true; Tracy Morgan and Bruce Willis are both starring in this new “Cop Out” comedy flick. And it looks like it’s going to be worth the $9 bucks I’d have to spend to see it in theaters, despite all the negative movie reviews I’ve been reading up on.

“Cop Out” Movie Trailer

To my surprise, there’s actually a very attractive connection between the two. Tracy Morgan is the kind of person that’s naturally funny; he almost doesn’t even need to try. Bruce Willis, on the other hand, is funny in his ever-stern ways. He can keep a straight face on and show no kinds emotions and he’ll still get a laugh out of you. I also love how they threw Seann William Scott in the movie; I think it changes the feel of the movie a bit. I love comedy, and this definitely looks like an 8 out of a 10.

Cop Out Movie Reviews

Critics from Rotten Tomatoes are not so thrilled about the new movie, Cop Out. Roger Ebert from the Chicago Sun-Times said, “Many of the gags possibly looked good on paper, but watching Willis and Morgan struggle with them is like watching third graders do Noel Coward, if Noel Coward had been rewritten by Kevin Smith.” Ouch! Top critic Bill Goodykoontz, on the other hand, gave Cop Out somewhat of a decent review: “A movie that makes little sense, is dumb when it’s not being stupid and yet is still at times laugh-out-loud funny.”

It really all comes down to what you view as funny. Some will like it, while others won’t. Nonetheless, I will still see the new “Cop Out” movie in theaters in spite of all the negative reviews from critics.

Banks not so happy with the new credit card laws

New credit card laws 2010 went into effect yesterday, February 22, 2010, and banks are not so thrilled. Many credit card issuers like JP Morgan Chase, the nation’s largest credit card issuer, are going to expect a drop in revenue because of the new legislation. According to CNN, JP Morgan is expecting to lose as much as $750 million this year in its credit card business. On the bright side, however, credit card users will benefit.

The new credit card laws 2010 mandate less billing confusing billing practices. For instance, credit card issuers must notify customers of an amount due 21 days prior to a due date. Furthermore, credit card payments can only be scheduled on one set day out of the month. Also, credit card issuers can no longer charge a rate increase during the first year of service, and customers must be notified 45 days before a rate increase.

New Credit Card Laws 2010 focuses on young consumers

New credit card laws also apply to young consumers. Credit card applicants aged between 18 and 21 must be able to prove they can pay credit card bills. If the credit card applicant cannot verify a stable form of income, he/she must have a co-signer before they can be issued a card. Credit card debt has become a major issue in today’s economy, so it’s good to know that the new credit card laws take also into account the financial hardships many young consumers face these days. College students struggling to make ends meet especially in this trying economy should not be given quick access to credit for their own financial protection.

Many college students are either still living at home and work part-time jobs. Credit cards are no doubt very attractive to young consumers, individuals who have yet to understand the benefit, as well as the downside of owning credit cards. It’s crucial that protective measures are in place in order to reduce the amount of credit card debt in the near future. And it looks like we are finding these measures now in the new credit card laws 2010.
