Summary and Review[]
Looper[]
“ Looper is a new film which may or may not be based on something neither of us have ever seen or heard of ever, like a graphic novel ... or a video game ... or a book ... or some other crap. The movie stars Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordan-Levitt in a mind-bending time-travel adventure story about people shooting other people from other times. —Jay Bauman”
Dredd[]
“ Dredd 3D is the new film version of the famed comic book character, Judge Dredd, who was last portrayed by Sylvester Stallone in the 1995 film. In this newer and bleaker version, Karl Urban stars alongside a sexy psychic while they battle futuristic drug lords in a futuristic housing project using futuristic weapons. —Mike Stoklasa”
