May 24, 2014: Upcoming June movie releases to look forward to! Or not!

Hmmm. Slim pickings this month.

EDGE OF TOMORROW

Release Date: June 6, 2014

What it’s about: In the distant future, a soldier is caught in a time loop.

What it’s got working for it: SF stories involving time loops are a lot of fun, IF they’re done well.

What’s it’s got going against it: They’re rarely done well.

22 JUMP STREET

Release Date: June 13, 2014

What it’s about: The sequel to 21 Jump Street sees our heroes go undercover at a local college.

What it’s got working for it: The first movie wasn’t bad.

What’s it’s got going against it: The original screenwriter returns – with two more writers.  Three times as good or too many cooks?
