Movie Moan - The Dredd Of Being A Master Looper
Mon, October 1, 2012 It fills me with pride this week to introduce Movie Moan's second ever British participant, filmmaker, writer and journalist for 'HeyUGuys.co.uk' Mr Ben Mortimer (who you can also catch on Twitter right here).
And it's a good old wannabe critics roundtable this week as we spent 100 mins on back to back reviews of some of 2012's most interesting and divisive films to date. So join me, Ben, Capt. Ed Hocken and Jamie Williams to discuss:-
3:30 mins - 'Looper'; not the action packed blast of fun that a lazy critic poster quote would have you believe or a film that everybody loves.
34:35 mins - 'Dredd'; since it was really Hocken's review that we all wanted to hear, join him and Ben as they spew more love on 2012's biggest surprise.
51 mins - 'The Master'; Jamie and Hocken talk us through the latest acquired taste from Paul Thomas Anderson.
70:50 mins - 'Bond 50'; Phil gives you the lowdown on whether the ultimate Blu Ray 007 boxset is worth upgrading from the previous thousand times you've bought all these bloody films.
87:10 mins - 'The Perks Of Being A Wallflower'; Hocken works some overtime as he squeezes in one last little review.

Looper is definitely one of those films that suffers from being built up too much by internet hype.
Having seen Dredd after The Dark Knight Rises the question of whether it is easier to respond to an actor emoting with his eyes or his mouth covered, Dredd trumps Bane easily. Urban imbues the character with a wide variety of e-mouth-ions which along with his voice tone convey exactly what his character is thinking.
