Some films demand a sequel. Some films work as a “done-in-one”. Some films get a sequel despite having been a “done-in-one.” Horrible Bosses 2 belongs in that last category. The bumbling would-be murders from the first film, womanizer Kurk Buckman (Jason Sudeikis), terminal worrywart Dale Arbrus (Charlie Day), and their ostensibly level-headed, eternally put-upon leader […]

If you were to ask someone “what would you get if you crossed Groundhog Day (1993) with Mecha Anime[?]”, one of the most unlikely responses you’re liable to get is “a kick-ass Tom Cruise vehicle”; yet that is exactly what you get with Edge of Tomorrow. Based on the Hiroshi Sakurzzaka novel ”All You Need […]
