Media Studies Trip to see Looper

It is important you have contemporary case studies to write about in your exam and thus I have organised a trip to see ‘Looper’ at The Ritzy Cinema in Brixton on Tuesday the 2nd October. The film starts at 18:20 and should finish by about 21:00.

The film has received excellent reviews in the national press.

'A dizzying and exciting time-travel thriller in which an assassin has to hunt himself down'
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

Henry Barnes, The Guardian Online: Rian Johnson's thriller about hitmen who assassinate targets sent from the future opened the Toronto film festival in fine style and runs rings around most recent sci-fi releases

'It’s impossible not to be tickled by the playful logic of Rian Johnson’s Looper, a fashionably sleek, unfashionably smart science-fiction film that tick-tick-ticks along with pocket-watch precision.' Robbie Collin, The Daily Telegraph
 
I will meet you inside the foyer of the cinema by 6 o/c and will release you to make your own way home after the showing. You will need money for travel and tickets (about £10) and other essentials like popcorn.



Looper: how to invent your own sci-fi: After having the idea about time-travelling assassins, Rian Johnson then got Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon-Levitt to play two versions of the same hitman. 'I go to unexpected places,' admits the director http://gu.com/p/3agmh
