Just in time for the 4th

Opening This Week:

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/d/13_despicableme2.htm> Despicable Me
2
★★ (out of ★★★★)

Nationwide - Eager to please, then over please (those Minions really are
more effective in smaller doses), "Despicable Me 2" is pleasant as it plays
out, but also glaringly lacking when stacked up next to its shrewder,
sweeter, more inventive predecessor.

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/e/13_europareport.htm> Europa Report
★★½ (out of ★★★★)

Now on VOD, In Select Cities August 2nd - "Europa Report" accomplishes a
fair amount with very little. This is a well-made film, one that is
admirable for what was achieved even as it slightly disappoints for what it
could have been under less-restrictive production circumstances.

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/l/13_loneranger.htm> The Lone Ranger
★★ (out of ★★★★)

Nationwide - If "The Lone Ranger" weighs itself down again and again, at
least it finally delivers during a stunning third-act set-piece that at
long last incorporates all of the elements that should have been readily up
on the screen throughout.

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/w/13_waywayback.htm> The Way Way Back
★★★ (out of ★★★★)

Select Cities - Tough and tinged with the kind of nostalgia that's both
bitter and sweet. Very funny at times, sometimes painfully so, "The Way Way
Back" deserves to become a go-to summer movie.
