Opening This Week:
<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/c/11_conan.htm> Conan the Barbarian
Zero Stars (out of ★★★★)
Nationwide - "Conan the Barbarian" is a disaster from one end to the next.
With not a single positive element to call attention to, the film is so
calamitously unprofessional it's as if half-minded vagrants found a dinged-
up camera next to a few hundred bucks on the street, pulled together a cast
of needy, out-of-work actors, and went to town. A vacant, sexist, soul-
smothering trial of tribulations.

★★★ (out of ★★★★)
Nationwide - The rare remake that gets things exactly right, tweaking the
setting, the background details, and the era while staying true to the
spirit and soul that made the first film worth updating to begin with. A
fun, spooky, violent but not gross romp, this "Fright Night," like the one
that came twenty-six years ago, knows precisely what it is, and how to do
it.

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/o/11_oneday.htm> One Day
★★½ (out of ★★★★)
Nationwide - There's never enough time. Doesn't that always seem to be the
case? What "One Day" lacks in palpable romantic chemistry between Anne
Hathaway and Jim Sturgess, both actors make up for it with their own
personal effervescence. Audiences not familiar with the novel will be
divided, but "One Day" stays true to itself and the people it follows.

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/s/11_spykids4.htm> Spy Kids: All the
Time in the World
★★½ (out of ★★★★)
Nationwide - Reverting back to the charms of the original and then possibly
slightly surpassing it, director Robert Rodriguez proves to have put
thought and care into developing this new story and making it about more
than squeezing extra dollars out of a long-in-the-tooth series. In its own
eager-to-please way, the film is cheerful and valiant.
