A word on the effect of Looper


Back in July I went to a very early screening of Looper through Stylist magazine. Normally this is okay. I watched Take This Waltz a month and a half in advance; I was moved and I kept it fairly quiet like when you discover the last Lindor and you eat it.

Ah but Looper. You were a tricky one. You see it’s a high thrill, crazy hot kind of film. Joseph Gordon-Levitt kicked ass, Chloe Moretz-style by shooting a finger gun. So naturally I went around screeching “It’s so cool!” urging everyone to watch it when it's out. Then I get asked, “What is it about?” Followed by that prerequisite prejudice of time travel movies.

I can’t tell you how wonderful it is to finally see 100% on Rotten Tomato’s critic Tomatometer. I told you. I knew it. Now time it’s time to feel it once more.
