I normally don't like Tom Cruise movies, but I really liked Edge of Tomorrow.

Finally saw Jack Ryan: Shadow recruit last night. Pretty good pocorn flick. Don't think it made enough $ that they have set up a sequel, but I wish they would.

Turn off your brain and it's kinda fun.

Don't know why, but always enjoyed a majority of Stallone action flix

Just watched "Lone Survivor" in the home theater. I saw reviews saying it was better than Saving Private Ryan. It was good, but I would compare it to Black Hawk Down. Not much character development, but tons of action. Would recommend.

I thought this movie would've been better without Sly and Ahnuld. Don't get me wrong, I like them, but this wasn't the movie for them to team up on. It should've been a no-holds barred action slugfest for those two, like another "Expendables." I think you could've plugged some combination of: Bruce Willis, Denzel Washington, Samuel L. Jackson, John Travolta, Hugh Jackman, or Kurt Russell and gotten a better movie. Tighter direction and a more urgent pace would've helped, too.

Saw 22 Jump Street the other day. I would say it was Better than the first one. I havent laughed that hard at a comedy in theatres since This is the End.

Just sat through ELYSIUM---wow --I like mat damon but what a mess--it made me want to join Damon and put a screw into my head as well!

It was pretty horrible in every respect---it was funny that the directors idea of paradise looked surprisingly like Beverly Hills---Jodie Foster seemed to walk through her dreadful role in one day of shooting. And the ludicrous jesus figure ending was simply jaw dropping in its absurdity. This one needed to be shot into outer space.

seen pretty much everything this summer. have yet to see: Edge of tomorrow, How to train your dragon 2, and maleficant.

Seeing Transformers 4 this week. Want to see Obvious Child. Will wait to rent Think like a man 2.

Really loved chef.
Jersey Boys the play is way better. But the guy playing "Frankie Valli" may just be better than Frankie Valli himself!
22 jumpstreet was funny. made fun of itself, which i liked.

That guy is definitely not better than Frankie Valli, but it was still a decent movie. Edge of Tomorrow I really liked actually.

I dunno. The back story might well be fascinating and I've read glowing reviews of the stage productions and film, but ...

"Back in the day" I was told by a few that my Jerry Valle was on the button. I was, however, about eight and still a natural soprano at the time when Sherry got airplay.

I could never get past the absurdity of the lyric "walk like a man, talk like a man" sung in a strained falsetto.

As for me, I now restrict my out-loud singing to Tom Waits songs since the old chords are showing age and abuse. The abuse was screeching like a banshee at ND games.

I don't love all of their songs but I really enjoyed the back stories. Plus they did still have all of my favorite songs.

Edge of Tomorrow was sick for those who haven't seen it yet.

I saw Edge of Tomorrow about 2 weeks ago and it was SICK!!! Emily Blunt by herself is worth watching it for the hotness. By far, it was the biggest surprise of the summer so far.

Haven't seen Jersey Boys yet, but plan to. I will hold judgement, but would be surprised if the guy is better then Frankie Valle.

I watched "Red 2" last night. It was like the original (surprise), breezy, fun; a good popcorn and martini movie. Penelope Ann Miller really steals the show though. And that's saying something with big time scenery chewers like John Malkovich around.
