Blu-Ray Review: Great ‘Broken Embraces’ With Penelope Cruz
Submitted by BrianTT on March 16, 2010 - 1:01pmCHICAGO – Very few directors have known how to utilize a star more effectively than the way Pedro Almodovar has turned Penelope Cruz from a gorgeous face into one of our best working actresses.
