One of the best films that I saw this summer was a film called Aloha. This film, while it did not get great critical reviews, and had some very mixed reviews among my friends and other people I talked to that saw it, was still one of my favorites of the summer. The film is set in Hawaii and stars Bradley Cooper as an ex-army turned private contractor who goes back to his old army base to take care of some deals for his boss, Bill Murray. This film does a great job combining the mythology of Hawaiian culture and the current day issues revolving the military's occupation of Hawaii as well as the race to weaponize the sky.

This film also stars Rachel McAdams as Cooper's ex, and Emma Stone as a firecracker Air Force Pilot.
