At 37 years old, actor Jason Mewes, best known as the talkative half of the drug-dealing duo Jay and Silent Bob (Clerks, Chasing Amy), admits he no longer has the stamina to rollerblade long distances or the metabolism to scarf down pizza without remorse like he could in his 20s.

Bruce Willis and a Surprisingly Tame Mood Ultimately Bring Down 'Cop Out'new
Regrettably, the film almost feels afraid of the genre. For an R-rated tribute to the trash cinema of yesteryear, it feels like PG-13 fluff. There aren't nearly enough F-bombs; there's absolutely no nudity, and very little explosive blood.

Kevin Smith Talks About his Most Adult Film Yetnew
Zack and Miri earned the dreaded NC-17, but Smith went through the appeals process and won his R rating. "I was a happy camper," he says. "Everything I wanted in the movie is in the movie." One of those things is a scene about what happens when an anal-sex scene ends very suddenly and very badly.
