Looper

I saw Looper a while ago, actually probably more than just a while ago. 

I saw it like a few weeks ago, which if you take into account the fact that It could all be for nothing if my past version of me decides not to go to the movies... I have no idea what I'm talking about anymore, which is how I felt throughout a lot of the movie.

 I loved Joseph Gordon-Levitt and his role as Joseph Gordon-Levitt doing a Bruce Willis impression. Bruce Willis was in it, being... Bruce Willis. Oh! Did I say it was a movie about time travel?

 Yeah, the movie is about time travel and the mob and it's all set in the future, and the more distant future. That is where I had my first quarrel with the movie. I didn't see why the "present" in the movie had to be the future, I felt like it was an unnecessary to have it be set in the future. I thought the hover bikes and the corny guns and stuff were a waste of dumb effects. The future-future was effective, and I really think the whole concept of time travel would have been just as well executed if the present was in the relative present, and the future was just the future in correlation with the present. (Does that make any sense?) The movie was fast paced, and full of all kinds of action packed Willis scenes. Joseph Gordon-Levitt has a coming of age story, where he ends up not coming of age at all. The concept of the same character being the protagonist and antagonist is awesome... just awesome. I enjoyed the movie, and wished it was a little longer and wasn't trying to be a future vs future-er future movie. These little snags aren't a big enough deal to ruin the movie for me though.

I enjoyed it thoroughly and give this tough guy, action film, time travel brain boggler a solid 3 Buscemis out of 4. 

Another thing that kind of bothered me was all the unnecessary drug use... and with some weird ass future visine? Maybe I'm getting knit picky, but that was a little unnecessary I thought.
