Movies, movies, and movies

As I examine my blog I realize I have not kept up on movie reviews. I saw a few movies and forgot to blog about them and since it is so late in the season I won't write reviews but I will encourage anyone to see the movies. I recommend The Amazing Spiderman, The Dark Knight Rises, and Total Recall. They were all good summer action movies that were completely enjoyable!

I recently viewed Looper & Seven Psychopaths, my thoughts are below.

Looper
This movie is set in the future where time travel is used by the criminal underworld. Hit men are in a different time with their targets sent back to them so they can eliminate them & destroy evidence of the crime so the authorities in the future do not catch them. When fulfilling a contract with the mob the last person a hit man eliminates is the future version of themselves. One hit man is unable to do so and all sorts of chaos erupts as the mob & his younger self chase him. Well written with great effects & strong performances by the entire cast. Bruce Willis, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Emily Blunt gave amazing performances! This is one of the most original sci fi movies I have seen & enjoyed in a long time. GO see it!!!

Seven Psychopaths
Is about a writer who is attempting to write a movie about Seven Psychopaths. The movie is a comedy with drama and both are done well although the comedy is superb! Another original idea with insanely great writing and plenty of great lines. I usually don't laugh at comedies anymore but I laughed in this movie. While it is not the type of movie I would see over and over again I do recommend it if one wants to see a well written & clever comedy.
