VIDEO: Your weekend movies... Blue Jasmine and Prisoners

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.

Blue Jasmine

For fans of: Woody Allen

Avoid if: You prefer Manhattan

Cate Blanchett plays Jasmine, who was hoodwinked by her rich husband (Alec Baldwin) and ends up having to go stay with her sister Ginger in San Francisco. Can she escape the breakdown she’s teetering on the edge of – and can Allen charm viewers like he did in the old days?

Prisoners

(movieclipstrailers/YouTube)

For fans of:Violence, prisoners

Avoid if: You want to remember Jake Gyllenhall as Donnie Darko

Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhall star in this dark film about two girls who are kidnapped in a small town. Their father thinks he knows who is responsible for their disappearance (Paul Dano) and decides to take things into his own hands.

Runner Runner

(CieonMovies/YouTube)

For fans of: JT, Ben Affleck

Avoid if: You thought this would be about running

Oh hai Justin Timberlake. The 30-something plays a poor student who needs to gamble to make enough money to pay for his tuition. He gets embroiled in the online poker world, and things get dark. Timberlake looks like he’s acting during this whole trailer which is… not quite the effect you want.
