Closing the Loop

This weekend I finally got to watch a movie I have been wanting to watch for a long time. As soon as I had seen the trailer I had wanted to see it but hadn't got the chance. Looper is the name of this great movie I finally got to see.

Looper is a movie that takes place in the year 2044. In the year 2044 there is a selective group called loopers. These are people that are hired by a by a mob in the future that send back bodies they want disposed of through time travel. The body is sent from 2074 to 2044 shot by a looper then disposed of. This is done through the highly illegal time travel in 2074 because it is impossible to dispose of a murdered body. Throughout the movie we follow Joe, who is a looper. We follow his daily routine until his friend Seth, who is also a looper, comes to Joe's house late at night. We find out that Joe has done the ultimate wrong the he could do as a looper. 

After doing your job as a looper in the year 2044 you can go on to live your life for 30 years until 2074 when the mob is created and time travel is illegal. Once your 30 years is up they find you and send you back to 2044 to yourself to be eliminated so you won't give up information about the system. This is called closing the loop. 

Seth has gone to Joe for help because Joe was sent himself and was supposed to close the loop and retire as a looper. Seth recognized that he was himself and let himself run. This is called letting you loop run. This is the worst wrong doing and Joe winds up turning him in which get both the future and current Seths killed. 

After this life seems to go on as normal for looper Joe until he is sent himself to close his own loop. All in a second things go wrong. Joe was going to kill his future self but winds up getting knocked out and from there everything goes wrong as Joe has unintentionally let his loop run.

This movie is fantastic and should been seen by all. Looper is a great action packed movie that has a great plot and really makes you think. Looper has exceeded my expectations and is now one of favorite movies.

I Am Legend

This week I am bringing an apocalypse movie. Yes, I realize that there are so many but i will only talk about the ones that matter and are good enough to get okay by me. This apocalypse movie comes from 2007 and its called I Am Legend.

I Am Legend isn't your average apocalypse movie and I think that is what makes it so good. Actor Will Smith plays scientist Lieutenant colonel Robert Neville. Lieutenant colonel Robert Neville is the only person left in a deserted New York City. Lieutenant colonel Robert Neville is the lone survivor along with his dog Sam after an apocalyptic virus breaks out. A supposed cure for cancer is found and all obviously get the vaccine. This turns out to be the end of humanity for everyone. This causes an airborne and contact virus that most die from it, but the ones who don't turn into these super mutant beings that are animalistic like. Lieutenant colonel Robert Neville is immune to contracting this virus from the airborne way and through contact, all dogs are immune to the airborne. Lieutenant colonel Robert Neville is the last one in New York and seeks to find a cure for these mutant creatures while trying to contact anyone else who is immune like him and survive the night when they come out.

This is an interesting way that the world the world would end and it also seems plausible. The story acting and twists are what make this apocalyptic movie different from all the others. If I had to watch only one apocalyptic movie from here on out this would be the one.

New York to London

This week I'm bringing the movie that I watched this weekend with my best-friend, Non-Stop. I had picked this movie because I had never seen it but my friend had and said it was a great one. Not to mention Liam Neeson is the main actor so you know its going to be a good one.

Non-Stop is a more recent action film from 2014 that takes places in that time on an airplane. Bill Marks(Liam Neeson) is an air marshall that is on the non-stop flight from New York to London. Every gets settled down and time passes before Bill gets a text message from anonymous person on the plane, that read that they want 150 million dollars transferred to an account or they will kill a person every 20 minutes. From there on Bill tries to find this person on board by doing whatever he has to, to save the people on the plane.

This action mystery really kept me guessing throughout the whole entire movie. I really had trouble guessing who it was and that is why this is such a good movie. It keeps you interested and really makes you think and try to figure it out along with Bill. Non-Stop gets the okay from me.
