<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/c/12_cabininthewoods.htm> The Cabin in
the Woods
★★★★ (out of ★★★★)
Nationwide - A motion picture about the endurance of horror as a historical
watermark, where it has been, and where it might be able to go from here,
it's no less than an all-encompassing celebration of a too often spit-upon
genre. Fans will be savoring this one for decades to come.

Distress
★★★ (out of ★★★★)
Select Cities - "Damsels in Distress" isn't much more than a low-key
slice-of-life accented by shrewd farcical flourishes, but when a film's
actors are this good, and their delivery of such one-of-a-kind writing is
this on-target, there isn't much room for complaint.

★★★ (out of ★★★★)
Select Cities - A labyrinthine but not impenetrable bubble gum pop
explosion, "Detention" should earn major "cult hit" status if for no other
reason than for its fierce, unflinching juggling of genres and conventions.
It's an overstuffed but ridiculously fun and gleefully original concoction.

★★ (out of ★★★★)
Nationwide - It's the sort of film a person might waste a lazy Sunday
afternoon watching on cable, but not one that anyone needs to go out of
their way to experience. In fact, it's all rather metallic and loud and
junky, highlighted by a central performance far superior to the film he's
in.

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/t/12_threestooges.htm> The Three
Stooges
★★ (out of ★★★★)
Nationwide - There are stretches of "The Three Stooges" that are total dead
zones of comedy, and then, just when the instinct is to give up, something
surprisingly quick and acerbic will come along to reclaim hope. All things
considered, the film is a few sawed-off ladder steps better than the
alternative of sheer, brain-numbing misery.
