Within the first few minutes into Kevin Smith’s latest film, Cop Out, detective Jimmy Monroe (Bruce Willis) criticizes partner Paul Hodges’ (Tracy Morgan) movie quoting interrogation technique as ineffective. Hodges then explains to Monroe, that it’s Hom-Age, like a tribute to those who have come before. Before Monroe can explain that Hodges is talking about homage, Hodges is off to question the suspect in a hilarious, movie quoting riot. In a way, it’s as if Kevin Smith is foreshadowing our movie going experience with his foray into the buddy cop genre of films made popular in the eighties. Because once Cop Out gets started, it’s nothing but a Hom-Age to all the things that made those movies great.

Hey @SouthwestAir! Look how fat I am on your plane! Quick! Throw me off!
Around 6PM on Saturday night director, actor and Silent Bob, Kevin Smith, got thrown off of a Southwest Airlines flight because the captain deemed his weight to be a safety concern.

I Heart Hamas: And Other Things I'm Afraid to Tell You
I Heart Hamas
by Clay Robeson
Moron Life Staff Writer
My first college drama instructor said that Theater was only good if it accomplished three things. One, it must entertain the soul. Two, it must elevate the spirit. Three, it must enlighten the mind.
Tonight, I had the good fortune to catch the second to last performance of I Heart Hamas: And Other Things I'm Afraid to Tell You at the Off-Market Theater in San Francisco. This one woman show, written and performed by Jennifer Jajeh and directed by W. Kamau Bell was astounding in it's frankness and honesty, and at the end of the night I left the theater feeling that I had been entertained, elevated and enlightened.
Jajeh, also an accomplished filmmaker and producer, doesn't pull any punches in the 90 minute piece. Right up front she tells the audience that she's going to answer questions that people have with the answers she wants to give, not the answers she thinks people want to hear. Jajeh is "a single, Catholic, first generation, Palestinian American woman who chooses to return to her parents' hometown of Ramallah at the start of the Second Intifada."
Review of How We First Met by Clay Robeson, Moron Life Staff Writer
While we do a ton of zany pre-written comedy on the show, my performance background is in Improvisation. There's nothing quite like getting up on stage in front of a bunch of people with absolutely nothing prepared. Except, that is, going and seeing other people do it.
I was lucky enough to get to see a performance of How We First Met last Friday at the Purple Onion in San Francisco, and let me tell you, there were some side splitting moments. So many, in fact, that I was inspired to write a review for the site, something that sure wasn't planned when I went in to the show that night.
