Hey oh!  I'm back!  Today, I'm going to quickly run down my thoughts on the 2010 DreamWorks animated deconstruction of the superhero genre, "Megamind"... An epic battle between the villainous Megamind, and the heroic Metro Man results in the unexpected death of Metro Man.  Now, without his arch-enemy to combat... what's a villain to do?

A fun and funny riff on the buddy cop/action genre made popular in the 1980s, with Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg playing their mismatched partners to the hilt. This is everything Cop Out should have been: clever, exciting, witty and silly without being stupid. The action sequences are brisk and well staged and the humour works more often than it doesn't. I laughed a lot through The Other Guys, which is more than I can say for most mainstream comedies these days. That, and the fact the film is narrated by Ice T and features the sexy Eva Medes, earns this a Good from me. FYI: Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne Johnson, who play the hero cops, aren't in this for long. Fans take note.
