I didn’t have high hopes for Identity Thief. The director’s previous film, Horrible Bosses, was not a film that I enjoyed. I don’t really like Melissa McCarthy (and not because she’s overweight!). And I’m a little tired of Jason Bateman playing the same role in every single movie he makes. But the film was a hit, and people seemed to like it, so I figured I’d see if I was missing something.

Brubaker

May 23, 2013

I was not familiar with Brubaker in any way, shape or form before this Blu-ray crossed my desk, but once I saw what it was all about, I knew it was a film I’d be interested in. For one thing, it stars Robert Redford, and over the past decade or so, he’s become one of my favorite actors, so I enjoy going back and watching films of his that I’ve never seen.
