Dustin Putman’s Movie Reviews
Opening This Week:
The Great Gatsby
★★★½ (out of ★★★★)
Nationwide - A sensory wonderland both intimate and vast as director Baz Luhrmann creates an immersive onscreen world that, for all of its bold and fancy reimaginings, remains accurate to F. Scott Fitzgerald’s sumptuous literary descriptions. It’s a lot to drink in all at once and a sight to...

Opening This Week:
Disconnect ★★★½ (out of ★★★★)
Select Cities - The auspicious fictional debut of documentary filmmaker Henry Alex Rubin, “Disconnect” is a penetrating examination of who we are as a people and culture living in the advanced electronic age of the here and now—a place as potentially dangerous and harmful as it is radically convenient.

Opening This Week:
The Big Wedding
★ (out of ★★★★)
Nationwide - “The Big Wedding” flounders on the brink of embarrassment,
crossing over time and again as the plotting grows ever more asinine and
nothing gels. One must look on the bright side and count his or her actual
blessings: at least it’s over quickly. Read the Full

Also Opening This Week:
Scary Movie 5
★ (out of ★★★★)
Nationwide - Stretched to the breaking point at only 70 minutes sans 15
minutes of credits (the end titles include a literal collection of outtakes
in between each actor credit that pops onto the screen), the inexcusably
desperate “Scary Movie 5” is this once-prosperous series’ death rattle. Read the Full...
Escape the heat
Opening This Week:
The Company
You Keep
★★ (out of ★★★★)
Select Cities - Overstuffed with too many superfluous supporting characters
and story tangents, the film attempts to fool the viewer into thinking the
plot is more complicated than it is. By the overly convenient topper, one is
less likely to be satiated than to feel disappointment. Is that really all
there is? Read the Full...

#COMCAST sucks!
A scary day today. After a two weeks of unrelenting fights with
about my recent bill (increased 200%) and service (I would be better served
with dial up), the technician arrived this morning. After a quick
evaluation, he tells me that he is not a service technician. He can only
remove and replace equipment. Why you ask would I want new equipment?
Well, two years ago when the whe...

Opening This Week:
Evil Dead ★★★ (out of ★★★★)
Nationwide - Ardent fans of the earlier “The Evil Dead,” rest easy: your beloved film has neither been cheapened nor desecrated. “Evil Dead” is a giddily effective bombardment of mangled body parts and gushes of viscera while simultaneously weaving a supernatural tale that is tension-filled and genuinely disquieting.

absolutely sucks!! The American consumer deserves options. It is
time to give the ability to pick and decide what service provider we want.

Opening This Week:
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. Read the Full Review »

Dustin Putman’s Movie Reviews
Opening This Week:
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...
Still have time to catch one these films
Opening This Week:
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....

Opening This Week:
Dark Skies
★★★ (out of ★★★★)
Nationwide - Sure to go down as one of 2013’s early sleeper surprises, an
intensely evocative, absolutely spine-tingling thriller that paints an
empathetic portrait of realistically strained modern-day suburban
domesticity before little by little introducing a rasping pall of doom
decidedly a...

Opening This Week:
Hansel &
Gretel: Witch Hunters
★★ (out of ★★★★)
Nationwide - Expends its standout moments by the ten-minute mark and can
never quite capture the same palpable danger, atmosphere, and imagination
again. What follows isn’t bad so much as it is uninspired, running in
circles while wearing the viewer down with one too-quickly-cut action scene
after the next. ...

intoxicating pace, aware of the ebbs and flows and overall qualities that
come with living outside the big cities. If only for a few hours, it’s a
place worth visiting. Read the Full

2012’s Best and Worst
If we’re going strictly by numbers, 2012 was the best year for cinema in at
least a decade. This was a deeply reassuring year at the movies, and one can
only hope this mini-resurgence of inspiration will continue into 2013. Read Full Article »

★★ (out of ★★★★)
Nationwide - An acceptable but very slim romantic comedy. The filmmakers
earn a few grace points for their mostly pleasing ensemble cast and not too
much dumbing-down when it comes to the treatment of the characters, but
these things can only go so far when everything else feels as immensely...
