A couple of new purchases

Last week, when we were at Target, we were looking through their budget titles, and came across Donnie Brasco and The Number 23. I've seen bits and pieces of Donnie Brasco on TV, and Bridget thought it would be a good idea for me to pick it up.

The Number 23 piqued our interest when it came out, but it's got one thing really working against it. Joel Schumacher, who happens to be my least favorite director. The only movie I've ever seen by him that had any merit was Falling Down, but outside of that, I can't stand him. I loathe what he did to the Batman franchise, and pretty much everything else he's done is just beyond ridiculous (I actually have never seen A Time to Kill, which may be his only saving grace). So needless to say, I'm not terribly excited about it, but I got it on sale, and am willing to give it a chance. We'll see.
