I thought Edge of Tomorrow was quite good. It was like Groundhog Day but set in a war movie.

When is Hollywood going to make a kick-ass, epic bio-pic about George Washington? I mean seriously, it’s time to give old George the Silver Screen treatment. It would be divided into three parts: His early years up until the Boston Massacre; the American Revolution, and then his Presidency and death.

Why the Tom Cruise hate? He is a nut and member of a cult but he doesn’t get political unlike most of the libtards in Hollywood. He just makes movies and keeps to himself. I would rather see his movies than Looney Clooney or even Tom Hanks anymore.

Also, Edge of Tomorrow was an extremely good movie. Probably one of the best I have seen in a while. Rotten Tomatoes agrees with a 90% rating. Not just a CGI blow em up action flick.

Two more obscure movies out there are:

1. Belle: A terrific historical drama about a black orphan from Africa brought up in high-society England by her relatives

2. Words and Pictures: A well done drama about difficulties in peoples lives and getting resolution for them, tempered by very excellent humor, in an appealing private school setting

The list of excellent movies with low budgets is actually quite extensive. It seems that more people are choosing them over the Hollywood huge budget nonsense that is overwhelmed by special effects and unending litanies which glorify violence.
