The not so expected pleasures of Edge of Tomorrow

WB

The blog team saw this movie attracted mostly by the presence of Emily Blunt in it.

We all agreed it was the best Sci-Fi action movie lately.The concept of being trapped in endless

time travel loop is not new - remember “Groundhog Day” but it was exceptionally presented in fast pace,garnished with dark humor.

Below is what Christopher Orr had to say about the movie. 

"Tom Cruise lands on a French beach, D-Day-like, and is torn apart by a glowing, tentacled alien.

Tom Cruise lands on a French beach, D-Day-like, and has a hole punched through his chest while protecting another soldier from enemy fire.

It’s not, in short, a good day to be Tom Cruise—or rather, Private William Cage, the character he plays in his new film Edge of Tomorrow. Nor does his day get any better: blown to smithereens, run over by a jeep, shot in the head—you name it, he suffers it. It’s Cruise’s film that might all too plausibly have been titled A Million Ways to Die in the Future."

Staying Hydrated: How Much Of What Should You Drink?

First, you hear, "Drink eight 12-ounce glasses of water a day." Then reports say that's nonsense. On TV, ads trumpet the virtues of sports drinks, while new research gives them the thumbs down. (Some Gatorade has brominated vegetable oil - not good for the thyroid.) You hear coffee dehydrates you. Wait, now it doesn't. It's enough to drive you to drink!
Well, we've got an oasis of good advice on hydration.
Why hydration matters: Good hydration helps prevent constipation, exercise-related asthma, elevated blood glucose and protects against heart damage. Mild dehydration (a 1 1/2 percent loss of normal water volume) reduces energy, affects mood and hampers memory.
How much you should drink: About 22 percent of the water you consume comes from food. The rest - about 50-60 ounces a day - should come from liquids such as coffee, tap water and juices with pulp.
What you should drink: Unless you are exercising in hot weather, avoid sports drinks and liquids with added sugar (especially high fructose corn syrup) and drink only as much coffee as your nerves and stomach can handle (less than five cups won't dehydrate). The rest? Good old pulp-filled fruit and vegetable juice, and lots of water.
