A few days ago i saw "The Call". It stars Halle Berry in the role of a 911 dispatcher. The main story involves a serial killer & there's tons of suspense & action. I really liked this movie! The first hour was riveting, the second hour so-so and kind of far-fetched. It was nice to see actor Morris Chestnut (he played the football star in 'Boyz n' the Hood') once again. He plays a cop who is Berry's boyfriend. I recommend this movie!
And over past couple of days, I was doing some cleaning up in my PVR and decided to watch two movies: 'RED' and 'LOOPER'.
RED was fairly entertaining. Typical action movie starring Bruce Willis as the main character, with Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren, Richard Dreyfuss & a cast of others in supporting roles. He plays a former CIA agent trying to avoid being assassinated, and his former gang comes out of retirement to help him out. I recommend it for fans of action movies. There's currently a sequel out in movie theatres. Not sure yet if i'll go see it.
And finally, i watched LOOPER the other day. To my great surprise, i loved it!! I didn't expect it to be this type of movie at all!! It's a futuristic sci-fi drama action movie which involves time-travelling which stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis and Emily Blunt (i love her!) in the starring roles. Basically, it's about an assassin (Levitt) who's part of a grup of 'loopers', as they're called in the future, who meets is future self (Willis) and needs to pull the trigger to assassinate him, but something goes wrong during the confrontation & the chase is on.
This movie has had rave reviews ever since it's original release. I haven't seen a single negative review year. It constantly received 4 to 4.5 out of 5 stars from most movie critics and fans alike. The story is brilliant & the movie was brilliantly done by script writer/director Rian Craig Johnson. It debuted last year at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) and was a huge hit with the viewing public. I loved it and i highly recommend it!
p.s. While viewing the movie, i wasn't sure i was watching Joseph Gordon-Levitt, whom i first saw in 'Inception', and then in 'The Dark Knight Rises' and in 'Lincoln'. He looked facially different than how i remembered him. However, it was indeed the same actor, but something appeared different about him. I finally discovered what it was when i read one of the movie's reviews after i had viewed the film: they made him look facially different in order to make him look similar to Bruce Willis. And indeed, it is totally believable that he'd look like Bruce Willis in 30 years since the make-up people did create a resemblance!
By the way, the actor who plays the young kid in the movie was absolutely brilliant in my opinion. He has quite a future in show business if you ask me!
