This past weekend saw the cinematic glory of Resident Evil: Afterlife pushing past security to get into your local theater even though it was moving slower than an instant replay in a curling match. The absolute atrocity of this film raises a lot of questions, but one of the first and foremost is whether or not directors should work with their spouses in a leading role. Paul W.S. Anderson, who thinks Milla Jovovich is as big an action star as Sigourney Weaver, is also married to Milla Jovovich, and while we can’t prove causation for the low marks in her performance here – we can certainly point to correlation. We can also point to 9 more husband and wife teams in order to find out if working with your legally bound significant other is really such a great idea.

With Cop Out, Kevin Smith tried something new. It’s up to the film watcher rather than the film critic to decide whether it was a hit or a miss. But like Smith’s video commentary in his previous films’ DVDs, you might want to join in with some drinks while you watch this Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan buddy cop flick.

Type in “Comic Con Su” into your local Google search engine, and the fifth most popular thing to come up is a listing of Comic Con Survival Guides. They have become a major staple of the event, and they’re a helpful tool considering the sheer size of the event and the overwhelming spectrum of comic book, television, and film events that go on throughout the week. However, no matter how helpful these guides are, they essentially say the same thing. Drink water. Wear comfortable athletic shoes. [Insert joke about nobody showering]. Thus, in the spirit of being different and offering some genuine help to Comic-Con attendees, we’ve created a list of 8 ways you could die at Comic-Con 2010. Come with us if you want to live.

In a three-way, melee attack of awesome that will leave you wondering how we removed your heart from your chest without breaking the skin, FSR is gearing up to head to sunny San Diego in order to stay indoors all weekend. Interviewer extraordinaire Jack Giroux, Robert “Fists of” Fure and I will be sharing the experience with you from Wednesday night through a hungover Sunday morning. Pack your bags, dear reader, because you’ll be coming along for the ride. Just don’t believe Fure when he tells you he’s a commercial airline pilot.

Kevin Smith’s long talked about Red State may now finally be hitting the big screen. After years of trouble getting financing, Smith has actually landed backing. For a while now we’ve known very little about Red State. Besides the fact it’s a horror movie, the plot itself still remains a mystery. That is, until now…

WonderCon 2010 hits San Francisco this weekend, and once again I’ll be there soaking in the movie previews, hot cosplay ladies, and eclectic merchant booths. And unlike last year I’m determined to enjoy it all goddammit.

This week, on a very special episode of Reject Radio, learn the horrifying truth behind the Lincoln presidency and how to train dragons.

At The Movies is dead. Kevin Smith wants film criticism to be done via Twitter. Where do you stand?

(Hint: It has to do with loving movies and not bullshit).

Love him or hate him, Kevin Smith is in the movie-making business for the long haul. None of his films have made big splashes at the box-office, but he works on the cheap and his flicks always turn an additional profit on DVD. He’s basically Woody Allen with fewer Jews and more dick jokes. And now he’s turning his gaze towards horror…

Kevin Carr sits his chubbiness down weighs in on Cop Out and The Crazies.

Kevin and Neil celebrate the end of the February movie season by barely seeing any movies. Neil copped out on Cop Out and neither of the Fat Guys were able to see The Crazies before recording.

Experiencing the two men in a joint interview, as Film School Rejects did, can be a jarring experience. On the day of our roundtable, a sweatsuit clad Morgan burst into the room in a frenzy of enthusiasm, making small talk with the other journalists and enjoying a back and forth with some writers over a scene in which his character punches a kid after being kicked in the balls.

In Cop Out, for the first time, Kevin Smith takes on a script for hire. In place of Jay, Silent Bob, his other stock View Askew-niverse characters, the filmmaker works with screenwriters Robb and Mark Cullen to give us his 21st century version of the age-old interracial buddy cop formula.

Kevin Smith’s latest film hits theaters this coming Friday, and no matter what you think of him and his chubby-dude affairs with Southwest Airlines, there’s a chance you’re curious about the flick. With that in mind, we’ve assembled a few gift bags for some of our most loyal readers. These prizes include flashlights that you can use to beat up your friends and enemies, hats, t-shirts and even a gym bag for all of your drug money gym clothes.

For a while now (since at least late last year) Kevin Smith has been talking about a project that brings together two of my personal favorite things — his writing and the game of hockey. And seeing as I’m still buzzing from the Team USA win over Team Canada last night at the Olympics, now is a perfect time to talk about Mr. Smith and Hit Somebody once again.

Before Kevin and Neil weigh in on the movies opening this week, they take a heartfelt look at the situation brewing between Kevin Smith and Southwest Airlines. And they have so much to say, you’ll need two seats to hear it all.

Oddly, it is also that joke from Kevin Smith’s upcoming comedy Cop Out that just won’t go away. You know the one…

Warner Bros. Pictures has released their final press kit for the upcoming buddy cop comedy Cop Out, directed by Kevin Smith, and we thought we’d share some of the goodies. We know how much you all love photo galleries, so it can’t hurt.

Here comes something fun — the red band trailer for Kevin Smith’s upcoming film Cop Out. Unlike the standard trailer, this one brings the cursing, brings the dick jokes and brings some Tracy Morgan-on-kid violence.
