the other guys

dumb, but fun! ferrell and wahlberg play two cops who work in the police station pushing paper for the crazy free wheeling cops who act like bruce willis in die hard- destroying everything to get the bad guys (samuel l. jackson and dwayne johnson, perfectly cast!). when something happens to the two crazy cops, ferrell and wahlberg decide that they are going to try and fill that void. as you might expect, things dont work out so well for them...
the two of them do a good job with their roles, ferrell is in classic form, always saying the wrong thing to hilarious results. wahlberg is pretty good here, he is more than capable but sometimes plays the straight guy a little too straight. over all though there were some pretty good laugh out loud moments. i'm sure the outtakes and bloopers from the movie were fantastic!

armored

the film follows a bunch of guys who were for an armored truck company. the get the great idea to try and steal the money that they are hauling, trying to make it look like they were robbed. of course things have to go wrong and everyone is at odds with each other as the whole plan falls apart. pretty generic film all around. well except one scene: where we see the hero running past a bunch of foot wide pipes as the camera is on the opposite end of the pipes, it moves past them at the same speed as the runner, creating a sort of animated cinescope, saves the movie from being a total crapfest. other than that creative shot, its not really worth your time.
