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 behold, yes, but one that never loses sight of the heartstrings it keeps plucking.

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.

The Lords of Salem
★★ (out of ★★★★)

Select Cities - Though admirable for moving away from director Rob Zombie’s comfort zone by focusing on mood and atmosphere over jump scares and a body count, “The Lords of Salem” is exceedingly tough to warm up to and makes a fatally wrong decision in presenting a lead heroine who is weak and complacent throughout.

Oblivion
★★★½ (out of ★★★★)

Nationwide - This is a ravishing, eye-popping, even groundbreaking science-fiction epic almost boundless in the kind of out-of-this-world imagery viewers will have never seen before. “Oblivion” impresses again and again on a scale as emotionally intimate as it is physically colossal.

Movies this weekend?

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.

Review »

Pain & Gain
★★★ (out of ★★★★)

Nationwide - Michael Bay’s sizable departure from what is usually expected
of him is the wisest creative decision of his career, proof that when he
puts his mind to it and chooses quality over a massive paycheck, it just
might pay off in an altogether more gratifying way.

Save now on your remodeling efforts

Perhaps not so scary!

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.

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?

★★ (out of ★★★★)

Nationwide - Falls back too frequently upon manipulation and speech-giving
to get its obvious points across. Though dramatically sound in spurts, the
film as a whole, written and directed by Brian Helgeland, lacks the feel and
visual panache of a theatrical release and would have been more fitting
premiering on cable.

To the Wonder
★★ (out of ★★★★)

Select Cities & VOD - The movie forgets what it’s trying to say and instead
very nearly turns into a spoof of a Terrence Malick film. There is only so
much twirling in wheat fields a person can handle before it starts to come
off as a mockery of itself. There are no two ways about it: “To the Wonder”
is a mess, but at least it’s an interesting mess.

Review »

Trance
★★★★ (out of ★★★★)

Nationwide - At once ethereal and daunting, a tantalizing puzzler seamlessly
weaving layers of subconscious memory and literal hypnotic fantasy with that
of bitter truths folding in on themselves, the film traverses so many genres
and emotional territory in the span of only 101 minutes that it’s difficult
to bring justice to just how enormously special and rare and one-of-a-kind
it is.

Review Coming Soon: Scary Movie 5

#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 installed the equipment, they
put in the wrong stuff. Over the past year and one battle after another,
they cannot get it straight. Finally, I think we are going to solve the
problem. As the technician is talking to on speakerphone, the
lady tell him that’s new rules won’t allow for a simple
disconnect or swap our of boxes. So, what do I do now I politely ask? Dump
Comcast, sue them and go with Dish, Direct or FIOS says the technician.
Enough said.

“Spring” cinema

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.

The Place Beyond the Pines
★★★ (out of ★★★★)

Select Cities - A sobering crime drama about the life-altering reverberations that occur across two families and multiple generations when their existences fatefully collide, “The Place Beyond the Pines” is, perhaps, a little too convenient at sorting out its plot threads, but nevertheless remains a tough, compelling, uncompromising experience.

Upstream Color
★★½ (out of ★★★★)

Select Cities - “Upstream Color” is about nothing less than the circuitous nature of living and dying and the organic wonders of rebirth. Hefty topics, but so it goes with a filmmaker of Shane Carruth’s wild stripes. His handling of such idiosyncratic material is admirable, but there is a distance that remains between the viewer and his subjects.
