JUPITER ASCENDING 3D

Watchable. The storyline is really silly, for kids only. At the same time though the visual effects, costumes and cinematography are spectacular and worth seeing in 3D.

INTO THE WOODS

Walked out. It's a musical and it's really full of typical ear-tearing musical songs with hardly any word spoken in between. Couldn't stand it, even for Chris Pine, a glimpse of whom I caught only once before leaving.

KINGSMAN

Watchable. Great fun. My only objection is that it's too anti-class-system PC. But other than that it's light entertainment in the style of old Bond movies minus chauvinism.

PRIDE

Watchable. Hard to believe gays used to be discriminated in Britain in the 80s. I'm neither gay nor a miner yet I enjoyed this cheerful comedy about predjudice. It's also an interesting fragment of the modern history of the UK. You can learn how certain rights were gained. Also, it features lots of great music of the 80s (Bronski Beat, Culture Club, Dead or Alive).
