Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy star as two mismatched cops in
this comedy from 'Bridesmaids' director Paul Feig. Unaware that her
colleagues hate her, prim and priggish FBI special agent Sarah
Ashburn (Bullock) is seconded to Boston where she's forced to team
up with foul-mouthed, take-no-prisoners detective Shannon Mullins
(McCarthy). When the pair are ordered to take down a local drug
baron, the two cops' wildly contrasting styles - and mutual hatred
- soon threaten to derail their mission. But as the weeks pass, a
grudging admiration for each others' methods brings about a thawing
in hostilities, as the ill-starred crimefighters turn out to be a
force to be reckoned with.

Bill Murray and Melissa McCarthy star in this comedy drama written
and directed by Theodore Melfi. Murray plays Vincent, a
misanthropic and curmudgeonly old man who becomes responsible for
his neighbour Maggie (McCarthy)'s son Oliver (Jaeden Lieberher).
Maggie, who has enough on her mind with starting her new job at the
hospital while going through divorce proceedings from Oliver's
father, employs Vincent to take care of Oliver after school.
Unbeknown to Maggie, Vincent is a heavy drinker and smoker and
likes to hang around bars and racetracks in his spare time. But is
there more to Vincent than meets the eye?
This book is a collection of essays and responses from diverse
contributors united in original examination of the intersection
between incarceration and human rights. What do human rights
concerns dictate about the practices that we tolerate in places of
incarceration? And conversely, what can prisons, their hard facts
and the ideas underpinning them, tell us about human rights? The
book offers a diversity of voices: from the inside view of Her
Majesty's Inspector of Prisons to the words of a poet and former
political prisoner; from an international policy overview of abuses
of the mentally ill to a socio-economic reading of race and class
in prisons. This range of approaches offers a uniquely rounded view
of the topic, while each contributor's eminence in their field
gives great depth of expertise.
Double-bill of comedies starring Melissa McCarthy. 'The Boss'
(2016) follows Michelle Darnell (McCarthy), a wealthy and ruthless
business tycoon who is imprisoned for insider trading. When she
emerges from the clink, Michelle finds her business and reputation
in ruins. Abandoned by most of her friends, save her assistant
Claire (Kristen Bell), Michelle sets out to rebuild her empire by
bringing her entrepreneurial cut-throat approach to girl scouts and
their cookies. In 'Identity Thief' (2013), after learning that his
credit cards are being used to fund the lavish lifestyle of
shopaholic Miami resident Diana (McCarthy), mild-mannered Denver
accountant Sandy Patterson (Jason Bateman) sets out to clear his
credit rating by bringing her back to face the music. But with the
clock ticking and Diana deciding to dig her heels in, Sandy soon
finds himself forced to try every trick in the book, and some that
aren't, to bring his fugitive home.
