Looper's in the cinema today!

Go and see it, peeps! RT has it at 92% with 119 positive and only 10 negative reviews and the consensus is "As thought-provoking as it is thrilling, Looper delivers an uncommonly smart, bravely original blend of futuristic sci-fi and good old-fashioned action." Source.

Some BTS pics with nice comments from the director himself, Rian Johnson: link.



And a really great interview with Rian Johnson, JGL and Noah Segan (another actor who was in Brick): link.

JGL on Rian Johnson:

"We've watched countless movies together, we've spent endless hours talking about movies. He's one of my best friends in the world. That absolutely helps when you're on set, to understand how he thinks. That's, I think, my job as an actor: to understand what the filmmaker has in mind, and deliver the ingredients that he or she needs to cut the movie together. Rian is able to very definitely communicate to me what he wants."

Rian Johnson on the actors playing the same character:

"It was really Joe wrapping himself around Bruce. That was a decision we made early on and it made a lot of sense to me, because we all know what Bruce Willis looks like. In the way that you know what your mom looks like, you know what Bruce Willis looks like. I figured instead of fighting that, let's use that. Let's give that to Joe, and give that to our makeup artist as handholds to grab onto to fill that recognition."

I can't wait to see the film. I hope it doesn't flop at the box office, that would hurt my soul :(

Keanu Reeves

So, I was thinking, what actor should I go with next, once I'm done with JGL's and Tom Hardy's movies? Considering shipping from UK takes up to 3 weeks when the parcel's not going directly through Amazon, I need to plan these things ahead :P And I was thinking Keanu Reeves - and if you say one bad word about him in my LJ, I will end you! *glares*

I love the guy, I love how low key he is, how private, that he still misses River Phoenix, his best friend, even so many years after his death, that there are no scandals connected to him... And his movies! I've liked him since I saw Speed in the cinema and I never understood why people bashed him for being a bad actor. So many, so MANY movies that are totally up my alley: the Matrix trilogy, Constantine, Johnny Mnemonic, The Devil's Advocate, The Lake House, Point Break...

Oh yes, I think I will! Any fans of his on my flist that I could squee and flail with?

3x Jack Hunter: Jack Hunter and the Quest for Akhenaten's Tomb

This time around, Jack's even busier than usual, having not just one or two bad guys after him but two bad guys and half the military! Once more, the story is way over the top - but the ending draws you back in again, it's crazy!

As characters go, Jack is really sweet but I don't like Nadia, all she can do is complain and yell at Jack. There were scenes where I simply wanted to shake her and tell her to stop being such a dumb-ass. Though Littmann is still kicking ass. Yeah, yeah, he's the bad guy but come on! And the slash is strong between Littmann and Jack! I mean, when Lena kissed him, Littmann looked directly at Jack, smirked and told him, "There are still people who find me appealing." LOL! That was awesome. So, yeah, I know that I'm basically told to ship Jack and Nadia by the writers but I find Jack and Littmann so much more appealing. And SIZZLING HOT!

Next? Jack Hunter and the Star of Heaven!
