It’s very easy to point at a movie like The Fault in our Stars and accuse it of being a manipulative affair with no desire other than to see how many times its largely female audience will burst into tears. And to be completely frank, some of that is certainly true, but it’d be unfair to dismiss the film as this decade’s A Walk to Remember. It isn’t perfect and it most certainly isn’t for everyone, but The Fault in our Stars manages to overcome its shortcomings thanks to heartfelt performances and great chemistry between leads Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort.

Talk about a pleasant surprise. I walked into Edge of Tomorrow with fairly modest expectations given my recent indifference to anything Tom Cruise attaches himself to. The trailers have been terrible and have done nothing to get me excited, and I assumed this’d be just another lackluster sci-fi that won’t be remembered a mere two years from now. Man was I wrong. Edge of Tomorrow is a lot of fun, and it succeeds on multiple levels. It’s funny, energetic, and gives us what is arguably Tom Cruise’s most relatable and likable performance in years.
