Just had to save the best for last. Sure, this is an app for a celebrity, filmmaker Kevin Smith of Clerks fame, but it’s still a vanity app, so it counts. Smith has an entire app to himself with a feed of photos (photo blog), his Twitter feed, and other fun features (fan photos, a soundboard of Smith favorites, a custom-made ringtone hummed by Smith himself, and others). The app is powered by DenVog and most certainly costs buckets more to make than one from MotherApp or AppMakr. This is the only app on our list that isn’t free ($0.99), but I would say the Twitter feed and custom ringtone alone make it well worth the buck.

Via @gloom303 “Is that a plural I see in Mom SMods?” It is. At least two weeks worth. Ending of the second one’s an instant classic.

Also, Kevin has been tweeting information on how we can help the situation in Haiti with our donations. He’s also donated signed pairs of Vans shoes that he’s worn throughout various gigs over the years. 100% of the proceeds will go to the Red Cross. You can bid at eBay with comfort knowing it’s all going to a good cause. Our other favorite way to donate: Use your phone to text the word ‘Haiti’ to 90999 and $10 will be put on your phone bill which will 100% go towards the Red Cross and their aid efforts. With the amount we’re spending on text and data every month, what’s another $10 to help out the cause? Please donate.

Check it out — And also, take a peek to see what the Stash is offering up as far as deals. There’s some packages going on with signed books and variant covers, especially cool for those of you who might be a little late to the party with this series. Highly recommended.

Cop Out (Feb. 26) Kevin Smith directs Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan as the po-po, in what we’re hoping will be the funniest cop film since Bad Boys (the original, not Bad Boys 2). Our prediction: When it comes to buddy cops, Tracy Morgan is the next Eddie Murphy and/or Will Smith!

The Director: Kevin Smith
Age: 22
How Did They Get Their Break
Smith?s first film, Mae Day: The Crumbling of a Documentary, was shot with co-director Scott Mosier while the pair were at the Vancouver Film School.

The latter dubbed it ?the greatest documentary that never was?. It followed the duo?s failed attempt to made a documentary about the titular Mae Day, who was going through a sex change.

Just two years later, Smith made Clerks.

See the official press release links for more details on this exciting project, as Kevin continues on his triumphant return to the comics industry, his 3rd new series in under a year!

Kevin appears as a zombie wearing the classic Monroeville Zombies jersey. This limited edition will be available in your favorite comic shop, as well as through the Stash (pre-order information coming soon if it’s not already there by the time you’re reading this).

The figure is being advertised as having “zero articulation, zero accessories, and zero signs of life”. Gotta love that.

Thanks to Horror-Movies.ca for the info. While it’s still not the long-waited “Clerks 2″ set announcement we’ve wanted, it gets another inaction in the collection, and that’s ok with us.

Directed by Kevin Smith (Zack and Miri Make a Porno), Cop Out features two longtime NYPD partners on the trail of a stolen, rare, mint-condition baseball card who find themselves up against a merciless, memorabilia-obsessed gangster. Jimmy (Bruce Willis) is the veteran detective whose missing collectible is his only hope to pay for his daughter’s upcoming wedding, and Paul (Tracy Morgan) is his partner-against-crime whose preoccupation with his wife’s alleged infidelity makes it hard for him to keep his eye on the ball.

Kevin Smith directs Cop Out from a screenplay by Robb Cullen & Mark Cullen (TV’s Las Vegas). The film stars Bruce Willis (the Die Hard films), Tracy Morgan (TV’s 30 Rock), Adam Brody (Mr. & Mrs. Smith), Kevin Pollak (Tropic Thunder), Guillermo Diaz (TV’s Weeds) and Seann William Scott (Role Models).

The film is produced by Marc Platt (Rachel Getting Married), Polly Johnsen (upcoming Cats and Dogs: Revenge of Kitty Galore) and Michael Tadross (I Am Legend, Hitch). Adam Siegel (Wanted), Robb Cullen and Mark Cullen serve as executive producers.

The behind-the-scenes team includes director of photography David A. Klein (Zack and Miri Make a Porno, Chasing Amy); production designer Michael Shaw (August Rush, Boys Don’t Cry); costume designer Juliet Polcsa (The Sopranos, Jersey Girl); and Academy Award®-nominated composer Harold Faltermeyer (the Beverly Hills Cop movies). As he frequently does, Smith serves as his own editor on the film.

Warner Bros. Pictures presents, A Marc Platt Production, Cop Out, to be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company. The film is scheduled for release on February 26, 2010.

Can we again say how happy we are to see that Kevin edited the film together himself? Just makes it feel all that more special.

We’re also pleased to present a heap of official trailer links in every format under the sun — These download as well as stream, so grab yourself a copy if you wanna watch it a few times or show it off.

“Cop Out” hits theaters on February 26th.

Via @monkeyman87 “What’s the outlook for An Evening coming downunder in 2010?” If you’re in Sydney this July, might look good for you…

Stay tuned here or on our Twitter feed – We’ll have the announcements on all 2010’s appearances as soon as they show up.

Take a look at this reaction posted today at Aint It Cool News..

Tracy Morgan and Bruce Willis are great together. Jordan plays a cop and a husband who is fairly grounded in reality (not at all like his 30 ROCK Tracy Jordan character), only a bit paranoid (his wife, Rashida Jones, may or may not be cheating on him), a terrible actor (he plays a very unconvincing bad guy, when trying to trick a perp into giving up information), and possibly has a coke habit (the only reason I can think of for his constant sniffling).

Willis is pretty much what you would expect in this, but plays off of Morgan really, really well.

Adam Brody and Kevin Pollack play another team of detectives who are a couple of dicks. They figure into the story, but are somewhat inconsequential. Like he has in other movies though, Brody is pretty good about stealing the spotlight in the small opportunities he has.

You know what you’re getting from Sean William Scott from the trailer: a wiseass. Only he does parkour, although not particularly well. He’s not a star of this movie, but is very funny in a few key scenes.

Guillermo Diaz is the main bad guy and is all sort of bad ass. The dude has a habit of putting someone in a batting cage and hitting baseballs at them. Ouchies!

In the end, this feels a lot like a LETHAL WEAPON movie for 2010. It’s got some action, some comedy, and is just pretty much a joy to watch all the way through.

We never really spoke out about the trailer, and haven’t had the pleasure of seeing the final cut yet, though here’s what we think — If you watch the trailer, you can tell that the film just has such raw dialogue, that they had to struggle just to find enough to cut together in a green-band, which usually spells GREATNESS for an R-rated comedy. Plus, they’re not giving away much about the film’s plot or any of the big jokes. Don’t you hate when you go into a movie and just wait for all the jokes and beats from the trailer to unspool? You start thinking “Well, the movie must not be ending yet, I still didn’t see joke # xxxx from the trailer”.

Kevin has stated that he didn’t cut the “Cop Out” trailer and that the movie will surprise anyone who saw the trailer and had doubts. Not that what’s in the trailer is bad, mind you, but what you’re actually going to see in the film blows that trailer out of the water. After being fans for so long, we know how Kevin constructs a film, and this one’s going to be a modern action comedy classic. There’s no doubt about it.

Mark your calendars and be ready for “Cop Out” on February 26th — And if you catch it early, be sure to let us know what you thought.
