Edge of Tomorrow

So Edge of Tomorrow wasn't my first choice for the movie to catch this month, I would have rather picked Maleficent (having waited for that for three-four years) or How To Train Your Dragon 2 (the animation looks much better then the first and I've always loved dragons).  However, my dinner date left me with no choice but with Edge of Tomorrow.
Now, just because it wasn't my first choice, doesn't mean I was miserable the whole time.  On the contrary, I really enjoyed it!-(I kept laughing every time they purposefully killed the guy)
If you remember playing those games where you could start the level over and win without a scratch because the level was always the same, then you'll understand Edge of Tomorrow.
Now, I've seen the following on a trailer before hand so this shouldn't be much of a spoiler, but in case you think the trailers are major spoilers, don't read after this point:  The Main character, Cage, finds himself fighting an alien enemy and somehow dies and is reset to the day before the fight.  This keeps happening until he manages to find a "war hero" if you will, who had the same thing happen to her.  According to her, Cage has the enemy's ability to "reset" after he dies.  So in failed attempts she'll shoot him in the head to start over.
Done.
So the effects were excellent and you actually get to see the aliens!  It's not  a one time glimpse thing either!  I think the alien's design is really cool and if you've seen the movie you'd know what I'd mean.  Basically, without giving anything away, the design of the alien works really well with how it moves.  You may see all these fancy "unneeded" parts, but it turns out they play a major effect with how they move.
I won't go into the mecha suit details or the aircraft, I don't really know much about that stuff.  My sister did say that they were trying to make planes that you see in the movie, but it's not going too well.

Anyways, it's been raining a lot here.  We've got flooding and the sinkhole in the field down the road has opened back up.  It showed up this spring and the farmer plowed it over but now it's back.
We've got more water in our creek then there was after the snow melt.  Saturday it was raining hard all day.  The baseball field and a parking lot between the mall and Cashwise was flooded.  And we have tornadoes south of us right now.  Hey, it's not that bad.  Earlier this year we had snow, thunderstorms, and tornado warnings all in the same day.
