Edge of Tomorrow

This has, of recent times, been the movie that I almost always make people watch, solely because I want to see their reactions, because I think this movie is great. I've seen Edge of Tomorrow at least 7 times, probably more though. The time travel in this movie is pretty damn interesting, that saying, it is not without its flaws. This is one of the only movies I have seem with Tom Cruise in it; I've recently watched Risky Business and it did not convince me to watch anymore young Tom Cruise movies, so I think I'm going to stick with more recent Tom Cruise movies i.e. Edge of Tomorrow, Mission Impossible, Minority Report-- basically nothing before 2000. Anyway, I have been watching more action movies lately, starting with this one, and damn I actually don't hate them anymore.

Hot Fuzz

Out of all the three movies in the Cornetto trilogy, Hot Fuzz was probably my least favorite. There were a some good twists and it was pretty funny, but I just thought it was slow. I could pretty easily predict the ending, but there were too many delays to get there. Then once the ending twist was revealed, the movie took way to long to finish up. It could have ended a few times before it actually did. I remember getting to a part nowhere near the end and checking the time that was left and there was honestly, like, 40 minutes left and I couldn't imagine what could possibly happen between now and the next 40 minutes.

American Ultra

Stoner Kristen Stewart and stoner/assassin Jesse Eisenberg? And they're a cute stoner couple? Yes please. So in. I was so in from the second I heard anything about this movie. Maybe it's because I've been dying to see Kristen Stewart finally be awesome in a movie because I think she's awesome in general. Maybe it's because I saw The End of the Tour the same week I saw this movie and, as I aforementioned in my review about The End of the Tour, I was not a fan of Jesse Eisenberg's character in it and I really wanted to see him in this innocently clueless role. Regardless of why this movie caught my attention so quickly, it did, and I was a thousand times satisfied with what I saw.
