Edge of Tomorrow (2014)

I loved it. It was pretty much everything I expected it to be. While I would never say no to Bill Murray in a movie, it had just the right blend of action and story (and enough humor in the right spots) for me. It had enough to balance out the truly depressing parts with at least a glimmer of hope. I don't want to spoil any of the movie so I won't say any more, but I would say this is probably one of my favorite movies of the past few years. I'm not sure that it was better than Captain America 2 (probably not), but it was just about perfectly what I wanted to see in a sci-fi/action movie. Sure, I'd love to see Warhammer 40K, but I knew that's not what this was, and I'm totally fine with that. I thoroughly enjoyed it for what it was.

Also, Emily Blunt now needs to be in more action movies instead of shitty romcoms. That's probably about as close to a Sister of Battle I'll see in live action, and she was perfect for it.

Cruise is a crazy fuck and i certainly do not agree with that Scientology shit but he is a good actor.

I don't generally enjoy musicals but I liked Rock of Ages so much I bought it. It also has everyone actually singing their own parts in it with out enhancements. Cruise took voice lessons for 4 months for his part.
Also I had not read any of the Jack Reacher novels but I enjoyed it.

Looking forward to this.

Hmm being it has been so long since I been to the movies, is there any way of knowing which between Regal and Great Escape which theatre will have the better seats/sound and so forth? I went to both websites but didn't see anything as far as the specs of the theater. Or are all theaters somewhat created equal these days? Used to be a big difference between them.

Hmm both owned by same company it appears now. So I am guessing the one built 10 years ago may be better.

Without actually going to both, or knowing someone that has, your best bet is usually the newer one. Unless recently renovated (which doesn't happen very often), theater seats eventually get pretty nasty in older theaters. Newer ones will probably be in better shape, and more comfortable (and less smelly). Obviously one might have better technical specs, but as you've found that is difficult to actually discover.

I now go to a theater further away most of the time because it has newer, more comfortable seats. The old one I went to, that is more convenient, has started smelling like a D&D store. It is too distracting, and nasty, to sit there and smell BO the entire time. And for some reason the newer, nicer theater lowered there prices too, so now it is never more than $7 a ticket, which is pretty fucking low here in California.

The best thing about this town I just moved too is a 2 year old theater where the ticket prices are 4 dollars matinee and 6 dollars evening. Large soda is 3 bucks. Going to see Edge of Tomorrow there this weekend!

good summer schlock. Not amazing, but it was worth my 6$

Yeah it's weird. Literally all the other theaters I have been too in this state are normal prices but this place is dirt cheap. Saw pacific Rim there over the summer last year and bought two large sodas and med popcorn for 10 bucks. It's awesome.
