I usually like Bruce Willis, I almost always
like
Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and I love Emily Blunt's movies. I did NOT like
"Looper". I can't put my finger on it, but it wasn't the sci-fi rage
that everyone talked about. Jeff Bridges was definitely NOT a good
choice as the bad guy for this film. I really felt that they put
someone who couldn't act in with a wonderful cast. The storyline
dragged at some
points. I've said this before, but if I go to a movie, I shouldn't have
to look at my watch during it. True, there were some unique twists
that I didn't see coming - but all I thought was "that's a nice twist"
rather than "Awesome!". I'll also grant that the ending was good, but
it wasn't the astounding movie the critics claimed it was. See if you
want, if not you're not missing anything.For those of us who love movies - but live in a small town - driving 45 minutes one-way to experience a wide-release on the silver screen could be a an exciting adventure or an expensive disappointment. Indy films? Don't even think about that 2-3 hour one-way trip! So is a film worth driving to see? This is my opinion on which films are worth the effort and for which ones you should just consider mowing the lawn instead.
