Naked Alibi (1954)

"Look, Joe, I like you, but I don't know what's got into you lately. Maybe you're working too hard or something, but you're getting yourself a rough reputation. Now, take a tip: change your tactics, or you're liable to find yourself without a job."

The funniest part of the '91 Dark Shadows revival is that the most famous and successful actor from the series (who wasn't already an well-established star like Jean Simmons) was the child actor who played David:

#the show also had a pre-highlander adrian paul #and a pre-pretender michael weiss #but lets face it joseph gordon-levitt blew up bigger than anyone else on that show #except jean simmons she was the star power at the time #dark shadows

This is the first formation that I used when I created the two handed arpeggios because the tapping finger taps through the E formation so it’s very easy to see and understand. here in the example I sweep the C form of a D major chord , and my first finger goes through this C form ,my 4th finger goes through the A form and my tapping finger goes through the E form ; so there are 3 Chord shapes or forms connected to my eye….I see each of these three chord forms the Notes D, F# ,A are the only three notes played in the D major triad.

"LOOPER" (2012) Review

"LOOPER" (2012) Review Time travel can be a tricky topic for a fictional story. Some writers can do wonders with a story featuring time traveling. Some writers start out well end up creating a mass of confusion. And other writers . . . well, they end up simply creating a bad story. When I had first learned about the premise for the 2012 science-fiction movie, "LOOPER", I feared I was about to see a time travel movie with a bad plot.

According to writer/director Rian Johnson's tale, the United States is in a state of economic collapse in the year 2044. There is social decay, a high rise in crime and a mutation has developed within a small number of the Earth's population that gives them a telekinetic ability. Thirty years later, time travel has been invented, but immediately outlawed. Tracking technology has made it impossible for criminals to dispose of bodies. Crime bosses use illicit time travel to send their victims back in time, where they are killed by assassins called "loopers". These assassins are paid with silver bars strapped to the back of their targets. When the crime bosses want to end a looper's contract, they send his older self back to be killed by his younger self, paying the latter with gold bars as a last payoff. Failure to kill the older self is punishable by death. Joe Simmons is a looper in 2044 Kansas, whose boss - a time traveler named Abe - is sent back to the past to supervise him and his fellow loopers in the area. Best friend and fellow looper Seth tells Joe that he had failed to kill his old self and that the latter informed him of a criminal mastermind named the Rainmaker, who is closing down all loops. Joe eventually betrays Seth in order to maintain his secret stash of silver. Joe's older self eventually arrives from the past and Joe first kills him. But due to a tragic incident thirty years in the future, Old Joe changes time by escaping to the past on his own. He escapes and Joe tracks him down to a diner, where he tells Joe that the Rainmaker sent him back to be killed, and that Old Joe's wife was killed during his capture. Old Joe killed his captors and traveled back to kill the Rainmaker as a child. Joe attempts to kill Old Joe and fulfill his contract, but both of them flee when they are attacked by Abe's hit men or "Gat Men". Due to a piece of a map in Old Joe's possession, Joe finds a string of digits that leads him to farm owned by a woman named Sara, who lives with her son, Cid. Meanwhile, Old Joe uses the remaining digits on the map to track down the location of three candidates who might turn out to be the Rainmaker as a child. Old Joe intends to kill all three to prevent his future wife's death. Sounds complicated? Trust me, that was only the beginning. For reasons that escape me, Rian Johnson, along with Kimberly Amacker and the rest of the movie's makeup team decided to use prosthetic makeup to ensure that Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who portrayed the younger Joe Simmons, bear some resemblance to Bruce Willis. They hired Kazuhiro Tsuji for the job. Tsuji did his best in altering Gordon-Levitt's looks, but in the end, it all depended more on the actor's performance to make the transformation work. A part of me feels that his prosthetic makeup was not really necessary. Also, complicated time travel stories such as the one for "LOOPER" tend to turn me off. Dealing with the subject of time travel is bad enough. But I tend to view complicated plot twists, such as the ones found in "LOOPER" as impossible to follow. But thanks to Rian Johnson's direction and script, I found the movie surprisingly easy to follow . . . aside from one particular scene. I might as well talk about the latter. The sequence featuring Old Joe's first escape from death at the hands of Joe ended with the latter falling out of the window of his apartment. The movie never made it clear whether he lived or died. But the next scene featured Old Joe's reappearance at the fatal cornfield again. This time, Joe killed Old Joe, leaving me somewhat confused. Was there a time reset of some kind? It finally occurred to me that Johnson simply revealed that Old Joe had escaped death, left his fate a mystery . . . and then went back to how this scenario came to be. In other words, following Old Joe's second appearance in the cornfield, audiences learn of the circumstances that led to that moment - Joe's murder of Old Joe, his retirement as a looper, his years in China as a hired killer, his marriage and eventually, his wife's death. The latter drove Old Joe over the edge, and he set out time travel on his own, prevent his younger self from killing him and kill the younger self of the Rainmaker, before the latter can grow and cause the death of his wife. Now, I understood. Once I realized what was going on, I was able to enjoy "LOOPER" a lot more. Not only did Johnson create a fascinating tale in which time travel played a heavy role, he created some fascinating characters - especially the leading one, Joe Simmons. Johnson did an excellent job in showing how the time traveling not only affected Joe Simmons' character but was also responsible for the creation of the Rainmaker. I was amazed at how Johnson's story revealed the ugly consequences of time travel in a way no other writer or filmmaker has done before. His story also developed from the typical science-fiction action thriller into a poignant, character-driven tale about the consequences of grief and revenge. By the time I left the movie theater, I realized that I had seen one of the most original science-fiction thrillers in recent years. "LOOPER" also had the good luck to have some first-rate performers to grace its cast. The movie featured interesting performances from the likes of Paul Dano, who gave an emotional performance as the looper Seth, who set things in motion by warning Joe about the Rainmaker. I also enjoyed the performances of Noah Segan, who gave a colorful performance as Abe's main "Gat Man", Kid Blue, who is eager to earn his boss' respect by going after Joe; Piper Perabo's sexy take on showgirl Suzy; Qing Xu, who projected the perfect air of sensibility and calm for Old Joe; and Garret Dillahunt, who oozed intelligence and danger as another "Gat Man", who manages to track down Joe to the Kansas farmhouse. But there were performances that really impressed me. One of them came from Jeff Daniels, who was an absolute delight as the sharp-tongued crime boss Abe. His advice to Joe about relocating to China upon retirement turned out to be one of the movie's highlights. Emily Blunt acquired an impressive American accent for her role as Sara, the practical farm owner that gave Joe shelter. Not only was I impressed by her different accent, but also her performance and strong screen presence. I cannot say enough about Pierce Gagnon, the child actor who portrayed Sara's son, Cid. Gagnon gave one of the best child performances I have seen in years . . . and one of the creepiest. Of the entire cast, Joseph Gordon-Levitt had the most difficult role. Not only did he have to capture many aspects of Bruce Willis' portrayal of the older Joe, but also the older actor's speech pattern, body language and screen persona. And too my surprise, he stood up to the plate and knocked it out of the ballpark. I can also say the same Bruce Willis' performance as Old Joe. Sure, his usual wise ass screen persona was there . . . somewhat. But he also took his character beyond the usual persona and to greater heights by portraying Old Joe as a man caught up in his grief over a dead wife and obsessed with vengeance and determination to change time. I would not say that "LOOPER" was perfect. Instead of writing a clear and straight narrative that a story of this complexity needed, director-writer Rian Johnson tried to be a little clever in explaining Old Joe's arrival in the past. And I feel that the prosthetic makeup for Joseph Gordon-Levitt was unnecessary. But despite these quibbles, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this movie. Johnson, along with an excellent cast led by Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, delivered one of the most original movies I have seen in years.

Looper (2012)

This is a Movie Health Community evaluation. It is intended to inform people of potential health hazards in movies and does not reflect the quality of the film itself. The information presented here has not been reviewed by any medical professionals.

Looper has shootout scenes at night, with rapid-firing guns used in a late sequence by the older protagonist. During a flashback to a tragic murder, a sci-fi device uses a strobe light. Emergency vehicle strobe lights are briefly used. A toy truck suddenly starts flashing red lights in one scene at night.

The camera shakes in a few brief scenes. One early scene very briefly uses disorienting camera angles, including rolling motions, when characters take drugs.

Flashing Lights: 6/10. Motion Sickness: 3/10.

TRIGGER WARNING: Self-harm is used for unorthodox reasons. One character dies by suicide.

NOTE: Our evaluation of The Last Voyage of the Demeter is now available on our Patreon page at Patreon.com/MovieHealth, and will be available on this page on Tuesday, August 15.
