Days of future passed The sci-fi renaissance that’s upon us is all the more impressive for its tiny budgets. Only 20 years ago the domain of a handful of directors able to shoulder ILM’s budget, speculative films are now open to anyone with a good script and a microchip—which allows for plenty more idiosyncrasy. Bruce Willis co-stars in LOOPER, a mind-bending story of mob hits and time travel, redolent of the paradoxes we’ve wondered Willis would also like to travel to the past and kill ‘Hudson Hawk.’ about and few we haven’t, all brought in at a cost roughly equal to his Die Hard salary. And it’s a visual stunner. Sent back 30 years in time to face a scheduled execution by his former hit-man self, Joe Simmons expects to meet death in a Kansas cornfield and “close the loop” on his shadow career—but only if the younger Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) doesn’t get trigger-shy. Ruthlessly efficient as a syndicate hit man (the marks come with silver bars taped to them), young Joe skims money off the top and plans his escape from the Life, one complicated by rumors of a future mob boss who’s closing every looper’s contract in a power grab. Truly original stuff here, and a great rental for anyone who ever wanted to sit down for coffee with his or her future (or past) self.—Richard Gould 01/09: Harley White Sr. Smooth and classic jazz. 7pm.
