Loads of guns, loads of drugs, loads of confusion.

Looper is the perfect modern action movie, mixing in some sci-fi with time travel and mind control, the action is endless.

[souce: cinemablend.com]

Mixed with all the sci-fi craziness is a love story, we're shown older Joe [Bruce Willis] with his love interest, I won't give away the storyline but the whole thing did make me cry. I hardly ever cry in the cinema, the only other time I have is when watching 50/50 starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
I'm not a huge Bruce Willis fan, in fact I don't know if I've even seen any films with him in... But he was really good in this. Good in the action parts which is obvious he will be as this is what he's known for, but surprisingly believable in the romantic scenes.

Another thing that tugs on the heart strings is Sara's [Emily Blunt] problems with her child.
Again, I won't give away what happens, but some of the scenes with them mix futuristic ideas with family and relationship problems that will forever be relateable to.

Giving this five crazy Joe faces out of five.
Looper is an interesting film, looking at ideas about the future but also includes a lot an audience can relate to. I find with some futuristic films you can feel distant from the characters, no empathy and no real feel with what's going on, but with this you do.

Vanilla Sky - Starring Tom Cruise, a film jumping through time too.
American Beauty - a few scenes skipping through time to make the film something to think about

Get the look: The Campaign | Masculine

 
☮The Campaign is a film all about men putting on their suits in a fight for power.
 ☮So this look is based on this but with a slight feminine feel, for example the lace trousers.
☮Also to make this look a bit more exciting and less traditional, a wet look shirt and some oxblood chelsea boots.

The Campaign (2012) review

[source: orange.co.uk]
 
Release date: 28/9/2012 | Directed by: Jay Roach | Warner Bros Distributors Ltd

Cam Brady [Will Ferrel], a politics and fame obsessed character now has Marty Huggins [Zach Galifianakis] to answer to.
[source: thecrat.com]

Marty is a camp family and pug loving character who is the least likely candidate running for congressman. To make Marty more likely to win he undergoes many changes such as getting rid of his pugs for 'more American' dogs and changing the look his wife has to make her more appealing and like a political leaders wife. He also has to change his camp and what I think is cute voice to a more manly tone so he seems stronger when speaking publicly.

Both in the end turn out to be up for doing anything to win, involving punching a baby and making a sex tape.

I am somebody with no interest in politics, but this film was so funny. It takes political campaigns to the extreme.

I am giving this four crying punched in the face babies out of five.

Get the look: Lawless | 1920's/30's fashion

[sources: clothesonfilm.com | aceshowbiz.com | fanpop.com | justjared.com]
 
I love the style of both the male and female characters in Lawless, so here's a post on how to get the look.
All the clothing is simple, no particuarly bright colours or anything too shocking.
I think this style is so good for autumn, everything's warm looking and so effortlessly nice.
 
 For mens fashion, Hardy's character is always wearing cardigans whereas LaBeouf's character wears more suits, all are of dark and dull colours. A lot of different hats are worn too.
 
 
 
 
 
Pretty dresses or shirts with pencil skirts, simple jewellery too. The Cotton shirt dress shows a modern take on this look, as women at this time wouldn't wear this.
