Dustin Putman's Movie Reviews


Opening This Week:

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/d/12_diaryofawimpykid3.htm> Diary of a
Wimpy Kid: Dog Days
★★½ (out of ★★★★)

Nationwide - It's the summer before his final year of middle school, and
like Greg Heffley, the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" film series appears to be
slowly growing up. Is it heavy on plot or all that hard-hitting? Not really.
But for 94 minutes, the movie does its job as a late-summer family
entertainment.

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/r/12_rec3.htm> [REC] 3: Génesis
★★ (out of ★★★★)

Now OnDemand, Select Cities 9/7 - Going for laughs more often than scares
and not particularly furthering the original premise in any substantial way,
"[REC] 3: Génesis" comes off as a rather pointless lark. It certainly
doesn't come close to earning the revery of its moniker.

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/t/12_totalrecall.htm> Total Recall
★★ (out of ★★★★)

Nationwide - It's difficult to care when most of the characters on the
screen are but cogs in an overblown machine. "Total Recall" looks as good as
can be, but, as is so often the sad case with big-budget Hollywood bonanzas,
there's a precious absence of brains to go along with the diverting imagery.
