The Other Guys (2010)

Much better than “Cop Out” but no match for “Hot Fuzz,” director Adam McKay and Will Ferrell goof on the buddy cop genre. Ferrell keeps his shtick in check and Mark Wahlberg plays it straight, while Samuel L. Jackson and the Rock send up their images.

The Book of Eli (2010)

Thirty years after the end of the world, Denzel Washington still walks the earth in a “Road Warrior” pilgrimage, fighting off cannibals and thieves. Then he finds a town ruled by Gary Oldham, a Western ensues, and there’s one hell of a payoff at the end.
