THE WEEKEND IS coming up, and that means new movies for you to see. But which is a must-watch, and are there any you should avoid?

We take a look.

Magic Mike XXL

What we know

Ride it, my pony.

What the critics say

• “There are occasional flashes of the boyish naiveté, sense of camaraderie and bare-bottomed cheek that first endeared Magic Mike to crowds a few years ago, but with this sequel, Jacobs has unfortunately grabbed the wrong end of the stick.”
  - Digital Spy
• “What follows is an oddly stilted road-trip ramble, with a storyline far shaggier than its scrupulously manscaped stars. “ - Entertainment Weekly

What’s it rated?

• RottenTomatoes.com: 6.1/10
• IMDB: 

Terminator Genisys

What we know

He’s back.

What the critics say

• “It’s a movie that completely ignores everything after Cameron left the series, framing itself as a love letter to his two films while also using them as a jumping off point for a new cast and completely retooled mythology.” - The Verge 
• “Like a lot of other 3-D extravaganzas released in recent summers, Genisys is a wildly expensive, decent-looking, mildly diverting mess that doesn’t make a lick of sense.” - EW.com

What’s it rated?

• RottenTomatoes: 5.2/10
• IMDB: 7.4/10

Still the Water

What we know

In this Japanese coming-of-age film, a teen finds a dead body floating in the sea.

What the critics say

• “Directing in her usual documentary-like style, accentuated by plenty of handheld lensing, Kawase elicits solid, naturalistic performances from her cast, despite the stilted lines they have to deliver.” - Variety 
• “Still the Water has its moments of mystery (a corpse floating in the sea at night), portrayals of traditional rituals (from dancing to the throat-slitting of goats) and sex, but all is rendered less beguiling for the simplistic (and sometimes even artless) ways they are rendered onscreen.” - Hollywood Reporter

What’s it rated?

• RottenTomatoes: 6.1/10
• IMDB: 6.9/10
