Summer is the best season to hit the movies, as movie fans flock to silver screens to catch the latest and greatest summer blockbusters. If you're looking to hit the local cinema to catch some new films, our weekly Film Review roundup is here to help you get educated. Read on to decide what you'll be buying tickets to.

Kicking off today's roundup is our review of Edge of Tomorrow, which features Tom Cruise at the peak of his acting excellency. The film is filled with plenty of explosions, secret military missions and a formidable alien race that wants to take over the world. Read our review to find out why this action film has everything you could ask from a summer blockbuster.

Chef is a new dramatic comedy depicting one determined chef's unfortunate misuse of social media, resulting in him picking up his kitchen utensils and moving to the food truck business. If funny business is more your speed, the Mike Myers-directed Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon, the Canadian comedian's first documentary project, is worth a look. It focuses on the career of the titular innovative talent manager — read the review to get a glimpse into his fast-paced, legendary life.

The Animal Project is a touching character study that sheds light on the lives of a small theatre group. Presented in the form of one-on-one interviews, our reviewer noted that these glimpses are "highly personal," asking "big questions regarding regret, ambition, religion, love, family and death." You'll also want to read our review of Tracks, which depicts Robyn Davidson's trek across the Australian desert.

Finishing up our roundup is the film adaptation of John Green's tear-jerking young adult novel The Fault In Our Stars. Follow the link to read the full review of this heart-warming, emotional love story.
