★ (out of ★★★★)
In Select Cities - "Anonymous" is muddled beyond belief, a prestigious-
looking debacle of weakly ineffectual screenwriting, inane casting that
only serves to confuse its time-jumping narrative, and an alienating lack
of human connection for characters who, almost to a fault, are physically
interchangeable.

★★½ (out of ★★★★)
Nationwide - Even if the rest of it had been a wash, "In Time" would still
have a socko, attention-clenching premise, the kind of uncannily ingenious
idea that one would expect to have been taken from a Philip K. Dick or Ray
Bradbury novella. Instead, believe it or not, the film is an original work,
written and directed by Andrew Niccol in an era where creative output is
frowned upon in Hollywood.

Marlene
★★½ (out of ★★★★)
In Select Cities - Whether or not this firmly spirited indie becomes a
breakout success, the one element destined to be remembered is the
strikingly complex performance of newcomer Elizabeth Olsen. This is Olsen's
picture all the way; she is such the captivating centerpiece that everyone
else should feel lucky to be in her orbit.

★½ (out of ★★★★)
Nationwide - When "Puss in Boots" is over, having gone nowhere special,
aspired only one or two laughs, and touched no hearts, it is difficult not
to dwell on what a lost cause the film has been. Where are Shrek, Fiona and-
gulp-Donkey when you need them?

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/r/11_rumdiary.htm> The Rum Diary
★½ (out of ★★★★)
Nationwide - "The Rum Diary" will not be winning an award for truth in
advertising; rum is in short supply and a diary might have come in handy to
understand who Paul Kemp is beneath the surface. That is, if the viewer had
been given a reason to care in the first place.
