Review Of Looper

Today's review is of the latest Bruce Willis action flick, Looper. The film also stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Emily Blunt.

The film is in the year 2044 but also spends a fair amount of its time in 2074. The idea is basically that in 2074 when the mob wants someone killed they are sent back in time to be dealt with so that there is no trace of them come the year 2074, and so it is that Joe played by Levitt is confronted with killing his older self, played play Bruce Willis, when he is sent back in time. A moments hesitation and his future self is away and so the game of cat and mouse ensues.

That is honestly the most that I knew before I went in and the most that I want to give away before you enter the cinema to watch the film. What came after what I have explained was quite brilliant. Before I watched the film my brother had told me that it is not what you expect the film to be about and for the main part I agree with him, Looper had a lot more romance in that I ever thought was going to be involved and the characters are all just fantastic and you do begin to care about each one and want to know more about them.

The film has some of the best action and CGI scenes that I have seen this year and I did catch my mouth being ajar at a couple of points which is usually a pretty good sign of my enjoyment. The cast all did a fantastic job, Bruce did what he did best while Levitt continued to provide evidence that he will be one of our generations finest actors, however I was massively impressed by Emily Blunt who played a very caring mother who can kick ass when needed. She was a huge screen presence who produced some of the best acting I have seen from her so far, her emotion really hit home and I couldn't help but hope for her and her son to get through this film ok. Speaking of her son, Pierce Gagnon has one very bright future ahead of him, a thoroughly excellent performance from the 5 year old.

As you may have guessed I enjoyed this film, granted it has plenty of flaws but since no-one really knows the ins and outs of time travel just yet I am willing to look past them so that I can be be entertained by a blooming good film.

Rating - 8/10

Iron Man 3 Trailer

On the 3rd of May, 2013, this looks set to take the world by storm. Today the Iron Man 3 trailer was put online, and boy does it look brilliant!!

It looks slightly batman-esk in the sense that he has his whole world destroyed which means he has to rely on himself to keep the world that he knows intact.

Game's Jesus Piece album cover

This album cover will upset alot of people. Game today took to his instagram to give the people a look at his latest album cover. As you can see he has gangsterfied Jesus, giving him a red bandana, a tattoo tear, blenty of bling and other things.

The album is expected to hit shelves in the late 2012. Here is what game has to say about the album:

“Jesus Piece gives me an opportunity to speak about situations that people like me who love God but are still street and still wanna remain themselves without going the Pastor Mase route. It gives the opportunity to know that it’s somebody out there that feels them.”

“You can still have swag and be a Christian, you ain’t gotta wear a suit to church, you ain’t gotta take a bath in Holy water," he added. "You can still have your Ciroc in the club, it’s just a faith thing and making sure you try to do right. I’m still a father, I still smoke, I still rep Compton, I still might shoot dice or have a fight if I have to defend myself.”
