Looper

A dark and brutal
Drama disguised as sci-fi,
A thriller with brains,

 Looper will make you
Think, just not about happy,
Fun, or pleasant things.

Top-notch direction
And a nicely streamlined plot
Keep it all moving.

While a unique take
On time travel makes up for
The super-grim tone.

Sleepwalk With Me

Mike Birbiglia's
Charming, bittersweet tale of
A sleep disorder

And how it caused him
To (eventually) be
A better man and

Do better on stage.
A fairly lightweight story
Taken mostly from

His standup routines
It is cute, funny, well made,
And winningly short.
