Looper: A review

SPOILERS SO I saw the new movie Looper recently. It was a time-travel-crime-drama that I have to say was one of the better movies I have seen in a while.

Bryce bought the tickets last week (before they sold out - all I think, twelve or thirteen theaters at Tinseltown in Erie!) and we actually made decent time, i.e. I wasn't running late for once.
