Edge of Tomorrow 

When: 5th June

Who: Doug Liman (Director), Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt

What: Set in the future during an alien invasion of Earth, Tom Cruise finds himself stuck in a time loop where he must relive Invasion Day over and over again by dying over and over again.

Why: Watching Tom Cruise relive Invasion Day over and over again by dying over and over again.. But seriously I have actually heard some pretty good things said about the clever storyline and refreshing characters.

Rated 95% on Rotten Tomatoes (surprising but impressive…) and 8.1/10 on IMDb.

The Fault in Our Stars

When: 5th June

Who: Josh Boone (Director), Shailene Woodley, Ansel Elgort

What: Based on the novel by John Greene, The Fault in Our Stars explores the love story between Hazel and Gus that began in a cancer support group.

Why: What I enjoyed most about the book was how refreshingly honest it was – it wasn’t just a really sad story about a brave dying person but it was a story of something devastating that happened to normal people with their own imperfections. The novel did such a great job at drawing the reader into their world but at the same time reminding us that this world is not so different from our own. BYO bucket.

Rated 8.6/10 on IMDb.

Grace of Monaco

When: 5th June

Who:  Olivier Dahan (Director), Nicole Kidman, Tim Roth, Frank Langhella

What: A biography about Grace Kelly, actress turned princess of Monaco. Directed by Olivier Dahan who also directed La Vie En Rose.

Why: Dubbed “The Dis-Grace of Monaco” by Times Magazine and the laughing stock of Cannes. For the laughs?

Rated 5.6/10 on IMDb and 4% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Happy reeling!
