In June 2001, TheMovieBoy.com was born. Over 2,000 film reviews later, the
now-titled DustinPutman.com celebrates its 10-year anniversary this week!
Opening This Week:
<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/b/11_badteacher.htm> Bad Teacher
★★ (out of ★★★★)
Nationwide - "Bad Teacher" is quick-paced and diverting, to be sure, but
when the end arrives at the 89-minute mark the immediate reaction is that
it was too slight by a half and a lot safer than expected. It's not
difficult to see that the project started as something greater than it
ultimately finished as.

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/c/11_cars2.htm> Cars 2
½ (out of ★★★★)
Nationwide - Here is a film-easily Pixar's worst, so junky it seems to have
been made by an imposter studio-that ruthlessly betrays every last thing
the first "Cars" so passionately stood for. A direct-to-video-level piece
of twaddle that shouldn't even be considered canon, "Cars 2" deserves to be
sent straight to the scrap heap. John Lasseter has some serious explaining
to do.

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/k/11_kidnapped.htm> Kidnapped
★★½ (out of ★★★★)
OnDemand & Select Cities - More a grim, crafty exercise rather than
anything deeper, but it still delivers the desired impact. "Kidnapped"
doesn't tell you anything you didn't already know, but it sure is
engrossing. It knows exactly what it's doing.
