Red Band Trailer for Cop Out
In late December the first trailer for the Kevin Smith directed Cop Out went out. For the most part it was met with indifference as it really offered nothing new and was short on laughs despite the potential chemistry between stars Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan.

Weekend Box Office Predictions 2/5
Could this finally be the weekend that Avatar gets knocked out of the top spot? Some are looking at Dear John to do just that as it appeals to a younger female crowd that may not be as interested in the festivities surrounding the Super Bowl. However I see Avatar staying atop for a final time this weekend despite yet another strong opening from a challenger. Also entering the market is the John Travolta action pic From Paris With Love. Dear John may not be a movie familiar to the masses but...
