Hotel Transylvania - This is funnier than it has any right to be, given that it’s riddled with fart jokes and crude humor. It’s also impressively casually sexist, given that the female character who is the lynchpin to the plot has basically no agency and far less screen time than she should have. (And the fact that the other female characters are all generally there to fill space and be shrewish doesn’t help, either.)

Edge of Tomorrow - Groundhog Day with an alien invasion and Tom Cruise. That’s pretty much everything you need to know about it. Well done and surprisingly funny in places. Jethrien has gone looking for the Japanese light novel that it’s loosely based on.
