Weekend movies

Opening This Week:

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/b/13_bluejasmine.htm> Blue Jasmine
★★★½ (out of ★★★★)

Select Cities - Guided by a powerhouse turn from Cate Blanchett-really,
it's less a performance than a force of nature-this grievously funny,
shrewdly devastating character study is as focused and emotionally
rewarding as anything Woody Allen has made in the twenty-first century.

★★ (out of ★★★★)

VOD & Select Cities - "The Canyons," which isn't nearly as seedy or
decadent or provocative as it wants to be, is not going to be toppling any
cinematic status quo anytime soon. Lindsay Lohan is riveting to watch in a
way that only punctuates how phony the rest of the film is. Simply put,
"The Canyons" doesn't deserve her.

★★ (out of ★★★★)

Nationwide - Little kids will still enjoy "The Smurfs 2," but whereas the
inaugural movie appeared to try to be a family film of quality, this one
has a derivative, made-by-committee feel. Hopefully, a bit more care will
be dedicated to the inevitable "The Smurfs 3," the kind not driven by big
paychecks.
