Better late than never.......

Opening This Week:

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/f/12_foragoodtimecall.htm> For a Good
Time, Call...
★★ (out of ★★★★)

Select Cities - A smutty feature-length sitcom with heart, "For a Good
Time, Call..." is like a well-cast, middle-of-the-road television series;
it's pleasant enough while passing the time, but also so insignificant that
it's only too easy to forget. Lauren Anne Miller and Ari Graynor are a step
above the pedestrian content they have to work with.

★★★½ (out of ★★★★)

Nationwide - At once heartfelt and wrenching, quietly ominous and literally
cutthroat, a western-cum-gangster-saga in a vein both classic and modern.
Arriving right at the tail-end of August, "Lawless" shouldn't dare be
overlooked. It is the ideal capper on the summer movie season, yes, but
also an early end-of-the-year awards contender.

★★½ (out of ★★★★)

Nationwide - When Danish director Ole Bornedal gets it right, his know-how
of the genre, of the importance of building atmosphere and character over
easy, predictable jump scares, recalls a lush, adult-minded style all but
missing since the 1970s. Bornedal blesses the mundane with rising tension
and the out-of-the-ordinary with unsettling gall.

with Me
★★½ (out of ★★★★)

Select Cities - Difficult to resist or put down because of the level of
care and raw earnestness that has been brought to its telling. The movie
hinges upon how well writer-director-actor Mike Birbiglia is able to carry
the material and how easily the viewer sympathizes with him. Fortunately,
he's as sure of a natural in front of the camera as he is behind it.
