Dustin Putman's Movie Reviews


Opening This Week:

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

OnDemand & Select Cities - Fiercely independent-minded while retaining an
up-tempo, mainstream pace, "Bachelorette" is as black as comedy can get
while still ending up a crowd-pleaser. Straddling a very fine line, but
never toppling over, the film's future cult status and high rewatchability
factor are all but guaranteed.

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

OnDemand & Select Cities - 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/v/12_vhs.htm> V/H/S
★★★ (out of ★★★★)

Now OnDemand, In Select Cities Oct 5th - As is apt to be the case with
anthologies, not every part of "V/H/S" is equally successful. Taken as a
whole, however, it is a grab-bag of clever, diverse frights. It's uneven but
perfectly fun, an ideal movie to sit and watch in a dark room on a Friday
night.

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/w/12_words.htm> The Words
★★ (out of ★★★★)

Nationwide - Confusing flowery, needless tangents for complexity, the movie
loses its way to excess, turning a provocative, low-key think piece into a
structurally exasperating trifle that ends up saying far less than initially
meets the eye. Sometimes, less is more. "The Words" is one of those times.
