Idenity Thief Reviews
Rotten Tomatoes
Identity Thief's few laughs are attributable to Melissa McCarthy and Jason Bateman, who labor mightily to create a framework for the movie's undisciplined plotline.
Entertainment Weekly
The story is about as subtle as a Florida theme park. Finding his life in shambles and tracing the destruction to her door, Sandy (benefiting from a full dose of Bateman's patented contained exasperation) heads south to drag Diana to justice. And that's where everything I said earlier about McCarthy meets its first challenge: There are no pauses in this hectic madcappery, not for a minute. So there's barely an opportunity for the star to modulate her energy. Even during more tender moments, she's working her butt off. The fault, I think, isn't in our stars but in the script, running up a huge comedy tab the likable players can't pay off.
Huffington Post
But the biggest shame in all of this is that while Bateman is adequate at playing the exasperated straight man, McCarthy really shines as a career thief who spends her loot trying to get people to like her, which could be a potentially fascinating character. Identity Thief is McCarthy's first starring role in a major movie, and while the script and story suck, she not only owns the screen while showing her impressive physical and improvisational comedic talents, but that she's also capable of some great acting and is more than able to pull off more serious dramatic roles. But by no means is that a good enough reason to see Identity Thief, a movie so dumb you'll wonder how characters like this could've survived into adulthood.
Fugitive: ‘Call Me, Let’s Figure Out How To End This Thing’
If anyone can bring the nearly week-long manhunt for ex-LAPD murder suspect Chris Dorner, it has to be Charlie Sheen. The actor recorded a message to Dorner Saturday urging the fugitive to call him as soon as he gets a chance.
Sheen was one of the many news personalities and celebrities mentioned in Dorner’s epic manifesto. His name appears in a single-sentence non sequitur towards the end of the document: “Charlie Sheen, you’re effin’ awesome.”

YouTube Blocked for 30 Days in Egypt
CAIRO (AP) — A Cairo court on Saturday ordered the government to block access to the video-sharing website YouTube for 30 days for carrying an anti-Islam film that caused deadly riots across the world.
Judge Hassouna Tawfiq ordered YouTube blocked for carrying the film,
which he described as "offensive to Islam and the Prophet (Muhammad)."
He made the ruling in the Egyptian capital where the first protests
against the film erupted last September before spreading to more than 20
countries, killing more than 50 people.Read more: http://www.vibe.com/article/youtube-blocked-30-days-egypt

Condoleezza Rice Nails a Lady in the Head With a Golf Ball at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am
Rice combined with Jason Bohn to shoot a 2-under 70 on the day but it
was her approach shot on the sixth hole that caught everyone's
attention. Everyone, that is, except one woman in the gallery. Rice's
approach shot drilled the unidentified woman square in the forehead,
leading to much blood (where's Berman in his Hannibal hat when you need
him?) and confusion. But the woman – and it wasn't clear whether Condi
drilled a fellow Republican or took out a Democrat – made a nice
recovery and did not need stitches to close the injury. She was even
seen walking the course after the incident.
Cary Williams not fined for pushing official in the Super Bowl
An NFL spokesman confirmed to PFT that there was no fine for Williams for his actions during the game, which easily could have resulted in a 15-yard penalty and could have led the referee to kick him out.
