VIDEO: Your weekend movies - Bruce Willis kicks ass, Paul Rudd shows his off

Cinema trip this weekend? TheJournal.ie brings you snippets from new releases to help you decide where to put your money…

WHICH NEW MOVIE release is worth the price of a cinema ticket this weekend?

We’re here to help you decide just that, with these trailers.

Beautiful Creatures

Shouldn’t this film be out in October? Because it looks, feels and smells like a Halloween movie, not really a ‘spring is in the air’ movie, you know?

Lena (Alice Englert) is a ‘mysterious’ new arrival in town who is not very welcome at all due to her evil tendencies, while Ethan (Alden Ehrenreich) looks to her to help him escape his life there. So far, so… run of the mill. But for those with a Twilight-shaped hole in their lives, maybe this will do in the meantime.

A Good Day to Die Hard

I have this theory that Bruce Willis takes these special anti-ageing capsules that only he knows about and that ensure he will always stay the same age forever and ever. And contained in those capsules is something that also makes him come out smelling like roses even when he does something stupid.

By which I mean, this film looks like a load of malarkey, but most of us will watch it, enjoy it, and want to punch the air when John McClane does anything cool, because that’s the effect Willis has on us. And hey, I sort of love that. Yippee-ki-yay!

I’m not sure if I can ever forgive Paul Rudd for this. But if you think you can, by all means go to This is 40 and then please report back in the comments section.

Thanks.
