Even aliens are afraid of Tom Cruise

If you’ve kept up with the geek sites, then you probably know that sci-fi fans are high on the new Tom Cruise film “Edge of Tomorrow.” Check out this one from io9 . Which is good because “Edge of Tomorrow” is opening Friday in area theaters. The list of major openings are as follows:

“Edge of Tomorrow” : Cruise must die every day to save the Earth from an alien invasion. Call it “Starship Troopers” meets “Groundhog Day.”

“The Fault in Our Stars” : Shailene Woodley (“The Descendants,” “Divergent”) stars as a young cancer patient who falls in love with a guy (Ansel Elgort) from her cancer support group. From young-adult John Green’s novel that The Guardian described as “fabulous.”

And at the Magic Lantern:

” The Grand Budapest Hotel” : Wes Anderson’s latest, which stars Ralph Fiennes as the demanding concierge at an old-world European hotel, has already had a first run. But the Lantern is giving it another try, and it’s well worth a view.
