DEEPWATER HORIZON (M) A docu-disaster movie of a real-life catastroph­e. If you wish to be educated, you’ll get the retrospect­ive scoop on one of the biggest preventabl­e man-made catastroph­es of all time. If you wish to be entertaine­d, there is plenty of Mark Wahlberg emoting manfully as a monster oil rig goes up in flames around him. THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN (MA15+) A perp on the turps? Or covering her tracks with a loco motive? In her few sober moments, Rachel must come to grips with one unavoidabl­e fact. She is now both a prime suspect and key witness in a missing persons affair that could soon become a murder case. A catchy combo of sex, murder and shifting suspicions. THE MAGNIFICEN­T SEVEN (M) A cover version of the 1960 western smash hit, which is not quite as good, but has the bonus of Denzel Washington in fine form as leader of a motley crew, ably assisted by Chris Pratt’s wisecracki­ng gunslinger Josh Faraday. STORKS (G) Storks have stopped delivering babies, they now only deliver parcels. Until someone makes a mistake and it’s red alert central. Some great parts, spoiled by some not-so-great parts. One for the kids. BRIDGET JONES’ BABY (M) Hapless Bridget is now 43 and still has no man and no plan. But after two random trysts — one with long-lost love Mark Darcy, one with dating app billionair­e Jack Quant — her life is turned upside down when she falls pregnant, with no idea who the father is. Plenty of laughs follow the pregnancy and birth. BLAIR WITCH (MA15+) A group of youths head back to those oh-soscary woods that featured in the Blair Witch Project all those years ago to try and find out what really happened. Starts off slow, but picks up when we become sure night is falling for the very last time. THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS (G) A likeable, lightweigh­t animation that gives an insight into what our pets get up to when no one’s home, coupled with a yarn about a needy Jack Russell and clueless Newfoundla­nd who have become separated from their owner.
