Adam McKay's 'The Other Guys' is a laugh riot. Mckay knows his comedy well and the chemistry between Will Ferrel & Mark Wahlberg is electric. The dialogue writing is instantly catchy and hilarious and I love some features of the film like so many hot women being attracted to Will's character or Michael Keaton's character knowing lyrics to an artist's songs yet having no idea who they are. The cameos from The Rock & Sam Jackson were great too.

Although not every movie needs a sequel, but since there are few comedy movies coming out these days in theatres due to many of these not working at the box office, having a sequel to a well liked comedy could be fruitful.

Wahlberg and Ferrell excel at comedy. The film has its own unique gags and blueprints with which to work on. The idea of buddy cop movies is very old and works well and this time they can work on a completely new mission/assignment with its own comedy touches.

If Daddy's Home can get a sequel, The Other Guys should as well. Getting McKay would be very cool and a nice break from the more dramatic stuff he has been doing these days.

Arrival rewatch is heartbreaking

“I forgot what it felt like to be held by you”

“Despite knowing… I embrace it…”

“Come back to me.”

We watch a person go through their parenthood and despite knowing what will come, not changing their choices. Because how could they? The love and warmth they feel is something they will not sacrifice no matter the hurtful cost. She shows resolve and empathy, knowing how the others around her will hurt yet she will not give up the love she experienced. It makes her so captivating to watch.
