Movies: Looper, Dredd 3D

Looper, fair bit of gratuitous violence here, but it was an integral part of what made a good movie. Plenty to get your head round with the time travel thing, which got increasingly intricate as the movie evolved.
Despite what I didnt think was much advance publicity, the theatre was as full as I've ever seen it for the discount Tuesday night, and the conversations about what went on buzzed as the audience left, they got their bob's worth.
Bruce Willis brilliant as to be expected, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt pretty good also. Made of good job of aping Willis mannersisms as his younger self, similar to Josh Brolin taking off a young Tommy Lee Jones in MIB3. 5 out of 5.

Dredd, well jees, I'm speechless. I suppose it was like one of those video games, sneek round a corner, boom, shoot somebody, sneek round another corner......, touches of Robo-Cop, and the eye candy wasnt too bad, even the bad lady. Dunno, 2 out of 5 at a stretch.
