Dustin Putnam's movie reviews

Opening This Week:

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/j/13_jackthegiantslayer.htm> Jack the
Giant Slayer
★★½ (out of ★★★★)

Nationwide - Topped by a clever little zinger of a last scene, the film
ends up being a fun action romp after all-and, again, that's in spite of
the fantastical creatures of the title falling flat. With all the other
elements working as well as they do, however, that's a trade-off that can
be lived with.

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/l/13_lastexorcism2.htm> The Last
Exorcism Part II
★★ (out of ★★★★)

Nationwide - Even when the scare tactics are cheap, the sound effects are
very, very effective. Regrettably, the film isn't much more than a series
of moments such as these, eventually becoming tedious before the 88-minute
running time is up. It all feels very much tacked-on.

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/t/13_21andover.htm> 21 & Over
★★ (out of ★★★★)

Nationwide - There is some immature amusement to be had by "21 & Over," the
occasional clever line of dialogue or quirky situation, but then there's
the majority of time spent wallowing in stereotypes, mixed messaging, and
overbearing racial insensitivity. Rampantly hit-or-miss, losing momentum
the longer it goes and the more serious it tries to get.
