On June 6th Edge of Tomorrow hits theaters. From the trailers this looks like Starship Troopers mixed with Groundhog Day, which isn’t an insult. The one thing that makes this movie even better is that Emily Blunt once said that she would rather do poor theater than be a spear carrier in a Tom Cruise movie.

Snowpiercer comes out on June 27th, not the only movie to come out on that date but of the two we’ll have on here it’s probably the best.

June 27 is also the release date of the most anticipated movie of the summer Transformers: Age of Extinction. The fourth installment of the Transformer franchise doesn’t get the Shia LaBeouf treatment, this time it’s up to Mark Wahlberg to muck it up.
