    Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis and Emily Blunt


    A little too Inception-y for me.

    Most time-traveling movies suck these days. Back to the Future did it best by using it as a simple catalyst for comedy adventure (80s kid must ensure his parents hook-up). Nowadays, writers try to use time travel for some uncreative twist to end their movie. I find it obnoxious.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but since his future self is still alive, wouldn't that mean the older version wasn't able to kill his younger self? Regardless, I'll still go watch it. Looks good.

    A little bit more about it from Comic Con and what the filmakers did to make JGL look more like Bruce Willis

    I believe the premise is that the one they want killed is sent back in time to be snuffed out by JGL character and disposed of. Therefore, Willis is supposed to be killed by his younger self which will prove to be difficult & hilarity ensues

    I hated inception. I think it was one of those movies that made dumb people feel smart. It was just an awful movie. I hope this is a bit different. Few movies handle time travel correctly. The butterfly effect wasn't too bad, Back to the Future is obviously one of the best, and the terminator stuff was pretty decent. Aside from those movies it has been mostly a sea of suck.

    He's a better actor than Taylor Kitsch, that guy from Tron or most of those model types that they keep shoving down our throats. But he just looks too downsy to be a leading man. Character actor for sure.

    My thoughts exactly. I wonder who the obligatory "hot chick" is in the movie.

    Joseph Gordon Levitt and James Franco are the next great actors of this generation.

    how was Hesher? Never got around to watch it, but with JGL, Natalie Portman, and Dwight, it can't fail right?

    fwiw, Premium Rush was suppose to come out earlier this year, but was pushed back to August to I suppose cash in JGL's Dark Knight Rises success, but failed.

    Looper looks good, I still need to watch Brick which is streaming on Netflix.


    Dave Franco isn't bad either after his 21 Jump Street gig.
