One the gifts are opened and stomachs full-go see a movie

Opening This Week:

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/i/12_impossible.htm> The Impossible
★★½ (out of ★★★★)

Select Cities - "The Impossible" is thoughtful and well-made, but it also
might be a little too simplistic and staightforward for its own good. One
could imagine this same story, albeit with less polished effects work,
telecast as a cable movie.

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/j/12_jackreacher.htm> Jack Reacher
★★½ (out of ★★★★)

Nationwide - If "Jack Reacher" falls into more predictable patterns, it
does open up some potentially fascinating avenues to take the title
character if this were to turn into an ongoing franchise. The possibilities
are there; now let's see if there's an audience for this retro thriller
throwback.

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/r/12_rustandbone.htm> Rust and Bone
★★ (out of ★★★★)

Select Cities - An unconventional love story between an unreliable father
and a victim of a killer whale attack, "Rust and Bone" positions the wrong
person as the lead protagonist. The film lays its heart on the line, but
its focal point is off.
