Identity Theft - 2013 **

One of those films that I hoped would be good but was awfully let down by. 

Melissa McCarthy is infuriating as the carefree woman who steals Jason Bateman's identity and has a fantastic time doing so. Bateman loses his job as a result of this and decides to track her down to get her arrested. McCarthy just oozes stupidity, even when designing fake credit cards in bright blue eye-shadow.
She's just a massive joke of a character, completely unrepentant for her actions, resulting in feeling constant sympathy for Bateman . I also spent most of the movie feeling quite annoyed that the subject of identity theft was taken as such a joke when it's not.

The Tall Man - 2012 **

Awful, messy film, with a ridiculous performance by Jessica Biel who appears to have undergone a 'no wash' policy for the entire period of filming.
Children are disappearing at an alarming rate from the mining town of Cold Rock. After Biel's child is taken, she sets out to discover the truth about who or what is taking the children, and how come the townsfolk seem to know so much more than they are letting on.
The story starts off in a reasonable way, but the end is actually a joke.
