WatchAnother awesome NInja Turtles fan video, thanks for sending Roman!
ajdont asked: Rebuttal - The end isn't as strong as it could be and for want of not ruining the film I choose not to address it- there is a lot in this film that wasn't ruined through promo.

I'd say it's all subjective, but these are professional film reviewers, and you referenced the first website that popped up from a google search. And JGL doesn't "ALL OF THE SUDDEN" decide to not kill Cid. I think...

Why Looper Fails- A Basic Script Analysis.
WARNING: SPOILERS
I don’t really like to write film reviews, as I personally prefer to write analytical papers and be less opinionated, but I feel compelled to write a short one based off of all of the positive feedback Looper is getting.
Now, I understand how exciting it is to see an original sci-fi movie- not a remake or a sequel. I 100% understand how awesome JGL and Rian Johnson are,...

How 35mm gets converted to IMAX →
I figured the process was some sort of roto/grain cleaning, but never really knew. What this means if it’s not shot in 70mm, there’s really no reason to go see a film in IMAX (same rule applies to 3D).

WatchSo excited for this… Two-Headed Cop, an animated short by Derek Friesenborg. The man clearly has been around the animation block- check out his imdb page here.
