Fun for a weekday evening???

Opening Mid-Week:

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/b/12_bachelorette.htm> Bachelorette
★★★ (out of ★★★★)

Now on VOD, In Select Cities 9/7 - Fiercely independent-minded while
retaining an up-tempo, mainstream pace, "Bachelorette" is as black as
comedy can get while still ending up a crowd-pleaser. Straddling a very
fine line, but never toppling over, the film's future cult status and high
rewatchability factor are all but guaranteed.

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/l/12_lawless.htm> Lawless
★★★½ (out of ★★★★)

Nationwide - At once heartfelt and wrenching, quietly ominous and literally
cutthroat, a western-cum-gangster-saga in a vein both classic and modern.
Arriving right at the tail-end of August, "Lawless" shouldn't dare be
overlooked. It is the ideal capper on the summer movie season, yes, but
also an early end-of-the-year awards contender.

Dustin Putman's Movie Reviews


Opening This Week:

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/a/12_apparition.htm> The Apparition
★½ (out of ★★★★)

Nationwide - "The Apparition" is technically the writing-directing debut of
Todd Lincoln, though one gets the suspicion while watching the film that
it's been ripped out of his hands due to severe studio tinkering (if this
is so, shame on you, Warner Bros. and Dark Castle Entertainment!). The film
may run just 82 minutes, but the picture's brevity can't hide what a
toothless waste of potential it all is.

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/c/12_cosmopolis.htm> Cosmopolis
½ (out of ★★★★)

Select Cities - "Cosmopolis" is frustrating verging on abysmal verging on
infuriating. To sit through it is to listen to petty, one-note whiners for
the better part of two hours, droning away with dialogue that has been
seemingly shuffled up and dumped out at random onto the script pages.

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/h/12_hitandrun.htm> Hit & Run
★★½ (out of ★★★★)

Nationwide - High-speed pursuits and shoot-outs mingle alongside long-held
secrets revealed, madcap slapstick, and lovelorn pathos. Most of it is good
as an amusing aside, but it is the genuine central relationship that turns
this off-the-wall free-for-all into more than just a throwaway romp.

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/p/12_premiumrush.htm> Premium Rush
★★½ (out of ★★★★)

Nationwide - Will its lasting impression see the dawn of a new day?
Probably not. In the heat of the moment, though, director David Koepp has
fashioned the cinematic equivalent of a theme park ride-fun in the moment,
inconsequential in the long run, and over in a blink.

CNN-Give me a break!

CNN this morning aired a story on the Navy Seals' new video "Dishonorable Disclosure ". If you have ever wondered if there is a double standard in journalism today-wonder no more. Shame on you CNN for trying to politicize the opinions of the brave men who unconditionally put their lives on the line everyday so you and I can live free. I am proud of the Navy Seals and prouder to be an American! Frankly, it's time for you and others who lack "intelligence" to shut up.

Dustin Putman's Movie Reviews


Opening Wednesday:

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/o/12_oddlifeoftg.htm> The Odd Life of
Timothy Green
★★★ (out of ★★★★)

Nationwide - This live-action fable is the best original project Walt Disney
Pictures has rustled together in at least a few years. A quality motion
picture of humor, dramatic connectivity, and flights of fancy, "The Odd Life
of Timothy Green" is smart and lively, never talking down to younger viewers
but adjusting to meet them eye-to-eye.
