The Other Guys

Starring: Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson, Samuel L. Jackson
Directed By: Adam McKay
Rated: PG-13
Running Time: 107 min.

NYPD Detectives Christopher Danson and P.K. Highsmith (Dwayne Johnson and Samuel L. Jackson) are the baddest and most beloved cops in New York City. They don't get tattoos--other men get tattoos of them. Two desks over and one back, sit Detectives Allen Gamble (Will Ferrell) and Terry Hoitz (Mark Wahlberg). You've seen them in the background of photos of Danson and Highsmith, out of focus and eyes closed. They're not heroes--they're "the Other Guys." But every cop has his or her day and soon Gamble and Hoitz stumble into a seemingly innocuous case no other detective wants to touch that could turn into New York City's biggest crime. It's the opportunity of their lives, but do these guys have the right stuff?

"Just when it seemed like the once-robust buddy-cop action-comedy was going to require a do-not-resuscitate order, along comes Will Ferrell and Adam McKay to show 'em how it's done."
--Michael Rechtshaffen, The Hollywood Reporter

When chance reveals to Bazil the two weapons manufacturers responsible for building the instruments of his destruction, he constructs a complex scheme for revenge that his newfound family is all too happy to help set in motion.

"There are sections of Micmacs that express the joy of a certain kind of moviemaking so vividly you can't help bursting into a grin."

Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky

Directed By: Jan Kounen
Rated: R
Running Time: 120 min.

In Paris, 1913 Coco Chanel attends the scandalous first performance of Igor Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring in a chic white dress. The music and ballet are criticized as too modern, too foreign. Coco is moved but Igor is inconsolable. Paris 1920, Coco is newly wealthy and successful but grief-stricken after her lover's death in a car crash. Igor, following the Russian Revolution is now a penniless refugee living in exile in Paris. Coco is introduced to Igor by Diaghilev, impresario of Les Ballets Russes. The attraction between them is instant and electric. Coco invites Igor along with his wife -- now sick with consumption -- together with his four children and a menagerie of birds to stay at her new villa, Bel Respiro, in Garches.

"The film is elegant to look at. The fashions are almost inevitably are flawless and chic. The performances are well-modulated to project exactly what the director, Jan Kounen, wants to say about these two people."
-- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Tim (Paul Rudd) is a rising executive who "succeeds" in finding the perfect guest, IRS employee Barry (Steve Carell), for his boss's monthly event, a so-called "dinner for idiots," which offers certain advantages to the exec who shows up with the biggest buffoon.

"...(T)he film collects a cast of performers who know how to be funny. The success of this movie ... lies as much with supporting players and plot-derailing set pieces as with the central story and characters. ... (I)n nearly every scene it draws laughter from an impressively eclectic array of sources, both obvious and new."
-- A.O. Scott, The New York Times
