Looper
I'm going to do you a favour: I'm not going to talk about Looper. Not really, anyway. A lot of other people have been talking about Looper, and quite frankly I think it ruined it for me. I went in expecting ... I don't know. More than I got? Different than I got? The problem lies in the fact that your standard is different than mine. If you say a movie is "x" -- well that means one thing to me that it might not mean to you. And if you say the movie is "z" -- again, you're not in my mind. Except, I forget you're not in my mind and I expect that I too would label what I find in the movie to be "z." I wouldn't have labelled this movie "z". I wonder, though, what I would have labelled it had I not gone in with someone else's expectations in my labelmaker. You may, however, read what you wish into the following: Verdict: First Run Theatre
