..was awesome.

Willis mainly fired a big gun while Gordon-Levitt acted him off the screen. Manages to look like a young Willis and yet completely not David Addison.

A great, no nonsense time travel flick with a discussion I cannot recall the exact wording of but goes something like (is set in a diner)

"I don't want to discuss time travel shit. It gets complicated and before you know it we're drawing diagrams with straws."

Also creepy children and a cornfield.

General release Friday, GO SEE!!

(Totally fails Bechdel test. 2 women with speaking parts and names, one woman with no name and no lines. Never meet. OTOH none of the men are sympathetic characters and I think everyone comes out badly.)

Definitely on my list. Today, it was Savages, The Sweeney and Killing Them Softly.

how was Sweeney? v mixed reviews!

I was pretty unimpressed. Winstone growls, Drew looks like he's on work experience, Atwell is largely wasted and Love's direction is pedestrian. To be frank, they might as well have junked the Regan/Carter connection and come up with their own characters.
