Will Ferrell had never played a detective. Mark Wahlberg hadn't headlined a flat-out comedy. Sounds like perfect casting for the mismatched title pair of "The Other Guys." A kind of free-association satire of buddy cop films, the movie is about two NYPD desk jockeys who can't stand each other, but team up anyway when a chance to replace their precinct's regular supercop team arises.
Go ahead, by all means. Find it on YouTube. Director David O. Russell and Lily Tomlin are having a tiff on the set of Russell's "I (Heart) Huckabees.
Mark Wahlberg and his longtime girlfriend, model Rhea Durham, have married in Beverly Hills. People magazine reports the 38-year-old "Boogie Nights" actor tied the knot Saturday in front of about a dozen friends and family at Good Shepherd Catholic Church.

Review by Rick Romancito The insane buddy cop movie parodied by an opening sequence in this comedy is something that actually had some potential. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Samuel L. Jackson play a couple of reckless macho detectives named Danson and Highsmith who regularly demolish thousands of dollars in private property amid fiery explosions all in the line of duty. Because they always get their perp, they are virtually untouchable -- until a stupid accident puts them out of the picture.
'The Fighter' a family saga that sure packs a punch The Fighter," like its subject, is an unexpected winner. Directed by David O. Russell, it's based on the true story of the junior welterweight Micky Ward (played with nice understatement by Mark Wahlberg, who is also one of the film's producers).
Dos hermanos, dos mundos opuestos: Joaquín Phoenix (Gladiator) trabaja para un empresario ruso cuyas transacciones no son precisamente con pieles, como pretende hacer creer, sino con drogas, pero a aquél no le importa, ya que gracias a su inversión puede hacerse cargo de uno de los locales más de moda en Brooklyn a finales de los años 80. Por su parte, Mark Wahlberg (The Departed) es un respetado agente de la policía en cuyo objetivo está poner fin al tráfico de estupefacientes en Nueva York. Su mirada está, precisamente, en el local que promociona su hermano. Este es el triángulo familiar que ofrece We Own the Night un thriller que podría haber sido algo más apasionante de lo que resulta ser, pero que aun así se revela como un drama adulto, entretenido, con escenas de gran tensión (la ...
'The Fighter' (Paramount Pictures) Based on its Oscar buzz, "The Fighter" was considered one of the best pictures of 2010. Director David O. Russell's film was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including best picture. The praise was deserved, as "The Fighter" is one of those rare pictures that puts all the intangibles together for a complete feature. It starts with the performances, as Christian Bale, Mark Wahlberg, Amy Adams and Melissa Leo triumph in capturing the real-life personalities they're assigned. Move to an authentic, gritty script and original cinematography, and "The Fighter" stands tall as a knockout. Based on a true story, "The Fighter" covers the early years of Lowell, Mass., boxer "Irish" Micky Ward (Wahlberg) and his relationships with his family -- speci...
NEW YORK - Thousands of movie-goers filled theaters across the country last weekend to see Mark Wahlberg's stirring portrayal of Micky Ward in "The Fighter. The film about the hard-scrabble Boston-area boxer raked in more than $12 million its first full weekend, has been nominated for six Golden Globes and figures to be an Oscar darling when nominations are announced next month. Wahlberg and co-star Christian Bale even graced the cover of Sports Illustrated, which trumpeted the film as an instant classic.
Director David O. Russell's boisterous new movie is called "The Fighter," but the title is intentionally ambiguous because it ought to be plural. The movie is based on the tumultuous real-life 1990s comeback of light welterweight boxer "Irish" Micky Ward, the pride of industrial Lowell, Mass . Ward is played - with characteristic, seemingly effortless honesty - by a beefed-up Mark Wahlberg. (The movie ends in 2000, before Ward's epic bouts with Arturo "Thunder" Gatti.)
