Cherry Blossoms or the movies? Perhaps both.

Opening This Week:

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/f/13_familyweekend.htm> Family Weekend
★★ (out of ★★★★)

Select Cities & VOD - A kind of whirlwind mess involving people who aren't
pleasant enough to sympathize with, in a story that never quite seems to
get to the root of the problem. Still, the cast is game and one at least
has to admire its fearlessness.

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/g/13_gijoe2.htm> G.I. Joe: Retaliation
★½ (out of ★★★★)

Nationwide - "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" may have a grittiness to it that its
predecessor lacked, but it has corrected absolutely none of its problems.
It's very likely viewers won't care about this one once it's over, either.

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/h/13_host.htm> The Host
★★½ (out of ★★★★)

Nationwide - A story of sacrifice, redemption, and little, squiggly,
glowing life forms, it's all still kinda-sorta B-grade hogwash, but it's
eloquent, B-grade hogwash. Sometimes, in this genre, that's more than
enough.
