   For some reason I never saw those movies... Hmm...   
      
    JA> Jack Reacher (first one) was a tremendous movie to me!

   Yeah, I can't even remember what the second one is about, but I've seen   
   the first one SEVERAL times.   
      
    JA> And Edge of Tomorrow is a HUGE favorite too!!!   
      
    AA> I watched the Edge of Tomorrow after having seeing it mentioned here

   One of my favorites for sure! Along with A Few Good Men... I'd like to   
   see the stage production of that...   
      
    AA> For a film involving alien+human cohabitation (or is it?) check out   
    AA> "District 9" from 2009.  It wasn't anything like what I expected. The   
    AA> storyline was smart (a message about alien+human coexistance) and the   
    AA> special effects were amazing.   
      
   Another one I never got around to watching... Will have to check that out!   
      
      
      
   ... I don't hallucinate anymore, the Thing driving the UFO cured me...
