Django Unchained

☆☆☆☆


+
Quentin Tarantino delivers a film that is dramatic, funny, and campy all at the same time. He manages to lighten very serious and at times violent subject matter with quirky music or a well-placed joke.
Jamie Foxx gives an excellent performance as Django.
_
Be ready for brutal violence and very bloody scenes.

Rated R
2 hr. 46 min.

Identity Thief

☆☆☆1/2

+
Two of the best comedic actors in the business (Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy) team-up to tell the hilarious story of Diana (McCarthy), a woman living it up by stealing other people’s identities and Sandy (Bateman), who once his life is turned upside down by this thief sets out on a mission to clear his name and bring Diana down.

Bateman and McCarthy make a great comedy team!
_
Give this movie a chance in spite of what other critics are saying.
Funny is Funny...and these two are hilarious.

Rated R
1 hr. 47 min.
