Trailer of the Week: Looper

I’ve been a fan of director Rian Johnson since his debut film, Brick.  Although I didn’t love his follow-up, The Brothers Bloom, as much, I still thought it was a pretty good film.

In his latest flick, Looper, Johnson reunites with his Brick star Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Gordon-Levitt plays Joe, a hitman for a mob in the future.  The mob sends people back to the past for Joe to kill until the person sent back is his future self (Bruce WIllis). Hijinks ensue.

Thoughts on ‘The Avengers’ trailer

  • I’m not a fan of Captain America’s  (Chris Evans) new suit.  Thor’s (Chris Hemsworth) new suit isn’t much better.
  • Apparently Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) only knows one move (the neck flip).
  • I hope the movie makes Black Widow and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) seem useful
  • Robert Downey, Jr. gets all the best lines.  He seems like a great fit for a Joss Whedon movie.
  • Best part of the trailer:
    Captain America:  ”Big man in a suit of armor.  Take that away, what are you?”
    Iron Man: “Uh. Genius.  Billionaire. Playboy. Philanthropist.”
  • Nine Inch Nails’ “We’re In This Together.” Interesting yet a little on the nose.
  • It goes without saying, I can’t wait for this movie.
