This is the second of my film blogs following on from my original (filmfantastique.blogspot.com) which was shut down recently. My blog is a way to record films I see so that I can double check later on. Normally with horror films I watch them and then immediately forget what they are called! I watch all kinds of films, from classic, world cinema, thrillers and anime. Very rarely does a day pass without me seeing a film of some sort! All comments and film discussion welcome. Enjoy my ranting!

Edge of Tomorrow - 2014 *** 1/2
'Edge of Tomorrow' can only be summed up as a sci-fi version of 'Groundhog Day' as a military officer is killed trying to combat aliens, but then discovers he is caught in a time loop where he combats and dies every day. He decides to use this to his advantage and better his skills with the knowledge he gains each time he fails. And then he meets Rita, and must team up with her to overpower the aliens once and for all whilst also trying to explain to her day after day of his terrifying predicament. I don't know what has happened to Emily Blunt's face, but it seems she's had half of it sucked out and if you compare it to her earlier films it looks like someone's taken a chisel to it.
I liked the premise, and found it fascinating to watch (although at times I was a tad confused) and was rather disappointed by the ending. Some might say it was a typical Hollywood one.
