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.

Dustin Putman's Movie Reviews


Opening This Week:

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/c/13_call.htm> The Call
★★½ (out of ★★★★)

Nationwide - Comes very close to being a top-notch effort in the vein of
1991's "The Silence of the Lambs." Then the finale arrives and certain
rails are sadly jumped. "The Call" is too good for too long to not be worth
recommending, but it's disappointing to see so much potential squandered
just for a dishonest twist and some cheap thrills.

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/i/13_incredibleburtwonderstone.htm>
The Incredible Burt Wonderstone
★★★ (out of ★★★★)

Nationwide - An immensely funny comedy, and also a sweet one. It is rarer
than it may seem for a movie to come along that inspires not only a fairly
consistent stream of chuckles, but also a few well-earned guffaws along the
way. "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone" is an unadulterated crowd-pleaser.

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/s/13_stoker.htm> Stoker
★★½ (out of ★★★★)

Select Cities - Old-fashioned and not entirely unexpected, the film doesn't
work very well as a mystery, but garners a creeping intrigue all the same
as the many faces of teenaged protagonist India Stoker are revealed.
"Stoker" curdles in the darkness of an adolescent's grotesque self-
discovery.

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/u/13_upsidedown.htm> Upside Down
★★★ (out of ★★★★)

Select Cities - So bold and unapologetic that one can easily overlook its
screenwriting deficiencies and leaps in logic. Even in those rare moments
when it doesn't live up to its ambitions, "Upside Down" is fresh and
frequently amazing, a film you don't watch so much as you happily drink in.

Still time to sneak into a theater

Opening This Week:

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/d/13_deadmandown.htm> Dead Man Down
★★ (out of ★★★★)

Nationwide - Undeniably European in its sensibilities, the film bides far
too much time standing along the sidelines rather than acting on its seamy,
corkscrew revenge plot. Colin Farrell and Noomi Rapace are a pairing made in
Hollywood heaven. It's too bad "Dead Man Down" can't quite pull itself out
of purgatory.

Review >>

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/o/13_oz.htm> Oz the Great and Powerful
★★★ (out of ★★★★)

Nationwide - No matter what Oz is, or symbolizes, "Oz the Great and
Powerful" is an inventive and stirring fantasy, not always airtight in its
narrative and pacing, but finally full of the very heart the Wicked Witch
tragically gets taken away from her. Chances are very good that L. Frank
Baum would be immensely pleased.

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.

Review >>

<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.
