The Other Guys marks the fourth collaboration between actor Will Ferrell and director Adam McKay. Will Ferrell has redeemed himself as a comedy actor after the ever awful Land of the Lost. Ferrell stars with Mark Wahlberg as two detectives who only work in the office and rarely go out to take on cases. Ferrell’s character, Allen Gamble is always in the office by choice, while Wahlberg’s character, Terry Hoitz, is not.
For a while it is because of two of New York’s best cops, played by Smauel L. Jackson and Dwayne Johnson. However, they die by jumping off a building. Now Gamble and Hoitz are wanting to step in and be the best cops.
Ferrell and Wahlberg are hilarious as Allen is a bit uptight while Terry is acting tough all the time. Michael Keaton does some fine work as the police chief, who also works at Bed Bath and Beyond. Eva Mendes does some good, funny work as Allen’s wife.
McKay knows how to get the performances he wants out of his actors, especially Ferrell and Mendes. Anyone who likes Ferrell comedies such as Talladega Nights, Blades of Glory, Step Brothers, and Old School should check out the other guys.

Is Toy Story 3 good? Yes, it is. Is it exciting? Yes. Is the animation good? Excellent. Is it worth the money? It’s worth. Is it better than the previous two? Much, much better. Toy Story 3 is an excellent movie for all ages.
First, the animation. The moves of the characters are simply perfect. Ken and Barbie, they’re robotic moves are so breathtaking. The moves are simply so detail and mesmerizing.
The appearances. Not much to talk about. But, the appearances of the characters were perfectly designed. The main characters were really cool. Ken and Barbie, they’re really designed in detail. For Barbie, the line where is visible in the neck was really detail. Ken is also really detail especially with his body. Lot-o-Huggin’-Bear was also carefully designed by the paper which often appears on dolls listing the warning or whatever.
The way the movie is presented. Very well done. In around 90 minutes of running time (excluding Day & Night), the movie was not boring at all. It had some laughable expressions which are pretty funny. I liked it when Buzz turns into Spanish mode where most of the audience laughed. That moment was hysterical. The scenes were also thrilling like the end scene (which I’m not going to tell you) or the scenes in Sunnyside. I thoroughly enjoyed the film.
The new characters. Well, I think there’s one negative point. I think little kids around the age of 3, 4 or 5 might be scared with the appearance of Big Baby, because, his appearance is kind of scary for little kids.
The 3D effects. Not so cheesy and not so breathtaking but pretty good. The depths of the items in the film were not bad.
The sound acting. They were really good. Tom Hanks on Woody was really good. He really projected his voice until he becomes a real Woody. Tim Allen on Buzz Lightyear was also good and satisfying. He really sounded like a real astronaut or space ranger. The others were also good. But, I think Tom Hanks on Woody still has the best projection of voice in the film.
Final thing, the short film attached to it: Day & Night. It was shockingly, awfully, crazily cool. That short film was quite funny. It was really good. Overall, the short film compliments to the film to be a very good movie.
I really recommend this movie to you, readers. If you want, watch it in 3D because the 3D effects (like I said) weren’t so bad but were also weren’t so good. Your kids will definitely be thrilled with the film. I think this is the best animated film of the year, or even the best film of all 2010
