Something for everyone this weekend!

Opening This Week:

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/b/12_battleship.htm> Battleship
★★ (out of ★★★★)

Nationwide - Without any feelings of wonder and certainly not enough
outward horror to be scary, "Battleship" readily loses its way, the
cornball dialogue calling all the more negative attention to itself. As is,
all we have is standard Big Hollywood fare, as creatively lazy as it is
technically competent.

Beyond the Black Rainbow
★★★½ (out of ★★★★)

Select Cities - "Beyond the Black Rainbow" is imperfect, but gloriously so,
creating, in its own way, a new, exciting, disorienting, unsettling, and
long-overdue filmic language. When 2012 is over, it will stand apart as a
motion picture not quite like any other.

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/d/12_dictator.htm> The Dictator
★★½ (out of ★★★★)

Nationwide - Sacha Baron Cohen is a fearless actor, never ceasing to
impress with how far he'll go to sell his characters and their personas.
When "The Dictator" wants to make a point, it does. When it doesn't, it
moves steadily between strikingly clever and disappointingly immature.

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/w/12_whattoexpect.htm> What to Expect
When You're Expecting
★★ (out of ★★★★)

Nationwide - Exactly what most audiences will be expecting. It's safe,
obvious, and kind of vanilla. The best that can be said about "What to
Expect When You're Expecting" is that it's an agreeable way to spend 110
minutes-preferably at home on a rainy day, with expectations appropriately
tempered to "eh."
