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.
Pompeii
For fans of: Six packs, the muscle kind
Avoid if: You are Jon Snow, and you know nothing
Kit Harrington, normally seen dressed in animal skins and wielding a sword in Game of Thrones, moves to the big screen to… wear animal skins and wield a sword. Pompeii is the tale of (you guessed it) what happened in Pompeii in the lead-up to the devastating volcanic eruption, and Milo (Kit)’s attempt to escape. Pure fantasy.
- RottenTomatoes.com critics’ rating: 24 per cent. Audience rating: 45 per cent
Run & Jump
For fans of: Family, relationships
Avoid if: Sad things make you sad
Maxine Peake plays Vanetia, whose husband suffers a serious stroke and is left utterly changed. Ted Fielding (Will Forte), is an American doctor who visits the family to see how they cope with the resulting trauma… you can guess where this goes, but it looks sweet and very real.

A Thousand Times Goodnight
For fans of: The luminous Juliette Binoche
Avoid if: You don’t like family strife
