Everyone waits until the year is over to compile their “Best of whatever” movie lists. This has become a mundane practice. Time for a bit of a change, kids.<\/em><\/p>\n

Performing at a satisfactory level in the arena of cinema these days is not an easy task. And third installment in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid<\/em> franchise proves that notion. This team (filmmakers involved) really had an off-game; as in terrible. Meanwhile, a product that truly didn’t need to be on the court so to speak, actually should some grit and performed admirably.<\/p>\n

The new releases for the respective week will have a capsule review at the end of the column. An updated list comes out every Monday. Here’s how things are shaking up so far in 2012:<\/p>\n

Total Recall (2012)<\/a><\/p>\n

If one needs comparisons from cinema\u2019s past, there\u2019s a dose of Minority Report<\/em>, I Robot<\/em> (mainly because of the synthetic robot army representing the wealthy) , Inception<\/em>, The Matrix<\/em> and perhaps even a little Tron<\/em>. As one watches the puzzle come together \u2013 and this is one of those 400-500 piece sets; not the 1000 piece mind-crampers \u2013 it actually all clicks and moves along in a smooth manner. So is it bad that you will actually comprehend just about everything that is going on?<\/p>\n

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days<\/a><\/p>\n

This flick gives credence to the statement that once you grow up, you could grow old. And the latter part of that sentence is what the third installment in the Wimpy Kid<\/em> franchise ends up feeling like: played out. Clocking in at 94 minutes, this felt as if it took a whole summer to get through. Flashes of what made the two installments worthwhile are present, yet they barely flicker. So if you didn\u2019t get the franchise reference in the headline, this is a steamy bag of ____ (hey, it is a kid\u2019s movie).<\/p>\n
