Looper (2012)
Don't Be Fooled When You See Bruce Willis!
The thoughts that are in your head after watching this movie, well, they are all over the place. Looper was excellent. A well paced Science Fiction action thriller, but it keeps your mind right where it wants to throughout the whole movie. Looper, if you haven't already read, is about a criminal organization that travels in time to get rid of their targets, these criminals who are told to execute the job, are called Loopers. But one day, Joe, one of the youngest Loopers, is approached by his best friend, who failed to "close the loop" meaning killing the target, because the target, was himself, thirty years from now. Joe hides him. And realizes that he cannot help him. Then Joe is asked to close his own loop, and he lets his older self (Bruce Willis) get away. And spirals onto an adventure that challenges Joe's moral and selfish and emotional decisions throughout. Looper challenges revenge, regret, happiness, love, betrayal, and don't think that because Bruce Willis is in it it's all about the guns and violence. Looper does an excellent job, of pacing action and plot, and a climax that will leave you breathless.
The Bourne Legacy (2012)
Pays Tribute to the Bourne Franchise
Jeremy Renner proves out to be an actor worth looking out for. Aaron Cross has a believable and well progressed hero in The Bourne Legacy. Edward Norton is always great, and the rest of the cast do a good job to prove that there is still life in the Bourne story.
The Bourne Legacy has plenty of time to set up the story, it keeps the plot line moving quickly, and when the first action scene hits, the fast pace that we remember from the Jason Bourne trilogy doesn't let up. And of course, Rachel Weisz does an amazing job of the innocent woman who is dragged into the chase, and her last line at the end, "I was kind of hoping we were lost" leaves plenty of room for a sequel much needed for the fans.
Loaded with some of the most realistic chase scenes, and amazing shots of locations spread all over the world, you can't go wrong with the start of the Aaron Cross legacy.
Daulat Ki Jung (1992)
Better than a lot of people thought it was.
The story in this Movie revolves around two lovers, handsome Rajesh (Aamir Khan) and charming Asha (Juhi Chawla), who love each other. They are students of the same college and studying in the same class. Rajesh's father Mr. Chowdhry (Shafi Inamdar) and Asha's father Mr. Agarwal (Tiku Talsania) are well known rival builders.
A situation leads to the father's knowing about the children's involvement with each other and hence they restrict their moments. This leads the young lovers to revolt, and they elope with each other. The father's are left with nothing more than to make police complaints.
This movie was actually not terribly bad. I love Aamir Khan and perhaps that is altering my review. But this movie truly did not deserve such harsh reviews. This movie was charming, Aamir and Juhi are a great pair, has the classic cops and robbers tale told through a treasure hunt. And it has got twists here and there that make it even more entertaining. I admit that there is a section towards the end that may be boring for some viewers, but if you stick with it you will not be disappointed. That I promise.
