The Town - 8/10. I thought this was damn good. My only complaint would be that I was a bit let down by the climax/ending. It wasn't as satisfying as I had hoped based on the first two acts. The story didn't really take a bad turn, but I think they left soem greatness on the table from the heist angle.
The Other Guys - 7/10. I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. It didn't look good to me, but I gave it a chance w/ my brother. Maybe I was just in a jolly Christmas mood. Mark Whalberg was painfully unfunny, especially when he "tried", but Will Ferrell and the supporting cast pulled the weight. I haven't enjoyed Ferrell in a long time (maybe since Anchorman), but I dug him here.
Michael Keaton was a high point. If someone had told me he was in this, I probably would have seen it sooner.
