Dustin Putman's Movie Reviews |
Opening This Week: Kaboom Now OnDemand and in Select Cities - Visually hued to emulate a kaleidoscope and just about as empty of purpose, "Kaboom" features an impossibly good-looking cast being tugged and yanked through a screenplay that doesn't have a substantial thought in its head. The planet's annihilation has never been so ineffectual. The Roommate Viewed on a purely entertainment-based level, the film is diverting in a highly inconsequential way, a watchable 92 minutes of mediocrity. One can guess what is going to happen from scene to scene up until the shockingly heartless, falsely happy ending. "The Roommate" is just about as inspired as its title. Sanctum Can a motion picture overcome a lousy script if it is an otherwise effective, technically proficient piece of filmmaking? "Sanctum" sure-footedly answers this question in the affirmative. Consistently stirring and suspenseful, the core conflict of a cave expedition gone horribly wrong is ripe for a tension-filled cinematic telling. On these grounds, the film does not disappoint. |
