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:

Allied

What we know

Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard look beautiful as spies in World War II. But is all what it seems?

What the critics say

• “Robert Zemeckis lacks his usual fizz in this tourist visit to a heritage-wartime past, in which Pitt and Cotillard look and act like strangers”. – The Guardian
• “Alive to what’s great about old movies: the supple, nearly invisible craft that allows scenes to throb with emotional suspense.” - Variety
  

What’s it rated?

• RottenTomatoes: 6.5/10
• IMDB: 7.2/10

Bad Santa 2

What we know

Billy Bob Thornton is back as mall Santa Billy. This time he’s going to rob a charity with his mother, played by Kathy Bates.

What the critics say

• “Billy Bob Thornton’s grouchy Santa is finally back, but his sequel is pretty ho-ho-horrible.” – NY Daily News
• “There’s a going-through-the-motions vibe to the whole affair; it’s not a movie that has faith in ill will towards all men and that eggnog is best served spiked with bourbon and arsenic so much as it’s willing to adopt a misanthropic pose in the name of people-pleasing.” - Rolling Stone
  

What’s it rated?

• RottenTomatoes: 4.3/10
• IMDB: 5.5/10

Paterson

What we know

Paterson drives a bus in the city of Paterson. He’s also a world-class poet.

What the critics say

• “Jarmusch proves that it is possible to make a film in which the everyday can be turned into something mysterious and even transcendent. This a quiet film but ultimately a very rewarding one.” – The Independent
• “Quiet, thoughtful and deeply human, this is one of Jarmusch’s finest and features Adam Driver’s best performance yet.” - Empire
  

What’s it rated?

• RottenTomatoes: 8.8/10
• IMDB: 7.7/10
