some early movie choices for the weekend....

Opening Mid-Week:

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/d/11_debt.htm> The Debt
★★ (out of ★★★★)

Nationwide - A remake of a 2007 Israeli film of the same name, "The Debt" is
a lukewarm thriller without the depth, impact or meaning one expects from an
Oscar contender. By not delving deeply enough into what this trio of agents
must psychologically go through based on the deceptive choices they've made,
director John Madden never escapes the shallow, decidedly inconsequential
end of the pool.

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/r/11_redstate.htm> Red State
★★★ (out of ★★★★)

Available OnDemand Sept 1st - If "Red State" isn't necessarily Kevin Smith's
best picture (for me, 1997's "Chasing Amy" still holds that title), it most
certainly is his best-directed, signaling a vast leap forward for the
filmmaker. It's a smart, mature film from a man who, now, has artistically
come-of-age.
