    Edge of Tomorrow

    See it, Tom Cruise single handedly saving blockbuster sci-fi. Best Sci-fi in recent memory, could be this gen's Starship Troopers.

    Hot damn, those are big shoes to fill (in my mind). You just sold me on this movie.

    Whilst it lacks the delicious satire of ST it has the FUN that was present without falling into the trap of being afraid of getting serious when needed, unlike so many recent movies.

    Just watched Non-Stop with the wife. Excellent movie! Put simply, if you liked Taken and are a fan of whodunit movies, you should enjoy this.

    Went to the movies 3 times in last couple weeks. They were cheap and had a free ticket too

    Maleficent
    Great re-imagining of a classic tale. Quite a decent film actually that does need the big screen to appreciate a number of big scenes. And Disney are doing more live action movies of their old classics.

    A Million Ways To Die In The West
    Hilarious. So many cameos. Stay to the end of the credits too.

    How To Train Your Dragon 2
    Take a box of tissues. Great sequel and quite a few emotional moments. Can't wait to watch it again.

    Pretty awesome movie wasn't it. I love Liam and Taken. So this was a must

    Just watched The Lego Movie. One of the best films I've seen in a long time. The visuals were fantastic, they actually made every single part of the environment Lego, which is everything I wanted but never got from Ninjago or the video games. The CGI used to make a realistic look was extremely well done.

    Also, the man upstairs thing was executed very well, and there's a good value there about not taking our hobbies too seriously and to actually have fun with them.

    Characters were also great, especially Batman and Emmet.

    There's quite a few "men upstairs" type members here. The LEGO Movie is an awesome movie. Can't wait for the sequel.

    Watched Muppets Most Wanted last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. Funny songs and gags and Constantine, the worlds #1 criminal, is a classic character. If you grew up watching the Muppet Show you'll love this.
