VIDEO: Your weekend movies... Don Jon and the Counselor

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.

The Butler

(Movie Trailers/YouTube)

For fans of: Equality, history, Oprah

Avoid if: You’ve your head in the sand

This film tells the story of the butler who served at the White House for three decades, and who saw not just Presidents but the entire social fabric of the United States change during his tenure. It’s a great way of looking at African American history and how the US has evolved.

The Counselor

(ENTV/YouTube)

For fans of: Fassbender, nightmares

Avoid if: You loved The Road

Two legends – author Cormac McCarthy and director Ridley Scott – team up for this thriller about a lawyer who gets involved in a dodgy business deal, and swiftly comes to regret it. It’s jam-packed with stars, but the reviews say that it’s not much cop. Only one way to find out…

Don Jon

(movieclips trailers/YouTube)

For fans of: JGL, GTL

Avoid if: You prefer Third Rock from the Sun

Boy oh boy has Joseph Gordon Levitt come on since his days as a long-haired teen star. In Don Jon – his acting-directing debut – he plays a New Joysie gym-bunny who’s rather addicted to online porn. But can he get it together and develop a meaningful relationship with a real live woman?
