3D - Thor

Tonight I have been to see 3D - Thor

The mighty Thor is the latest Marvel Comics superhero to make a big noise on the big screen - in colossal 3D.

A warrior of great strength, yet impetuous and foolish, Thor (Chris Hemsworth) is son of the all-powerful Odin (Anthony Hopkins), who rules the gods in his kingdom of Asgard. When Thor's arrogance reignites an ancient war, he is exiled to Earth as punishment. Here he meets a young scientist named Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), who strives to understand the enigmatic stranger. Gifted with the strength of a god and a hammer only he can wield, Thor still needs to learn wisdom. So when his dark brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston) sends his minions to invade Earth, it's time for Thor to decide what he truly wants to be - a reckless warrior god, or defender of his new home? Director Kenneth Branagh provides stunning visuals and breathtaking action sequences as the hammer-wielding Thor explodes into battle.

Arthur

Tonight I have been to see Arthur.

This remake of the fondly remembered Dudley Moore comedy stars Russell Brand as a hapless billionaire who must choose between love and money.

Arthur Bach (Russell Brand) is an irresponsible playboy - despite the fact that he's been told what to do all his life. The culprits are his stern mother (Geraldine James), his housekeeper Hobson (Helen Mirren), and now, much to his dismay, his new bride-to-be Susan (Jennifer Garner). Arthur has been ordered to marry Susan, or suffer the consequences of disobedience - a new life, cut off from all his wealth and privilege. But Arthur doesn't love Susan, and has instead fallen for Naomi (Greta Gerwig), a woman with no money but a good heart. With Russell Brand in hilarious form, it's time to find out which choice Arthur will make. Can he choose love - and lose the safety net his money provides? Or will he settle for marriage to the terrifying Susan?

Amanda Seyfried stars in a dark and romantic reimagining of the classic tale.

One of Daggerhorn's inhabitants is Valerie (Amanda Seyfried), a young girl who is in love with the brooding woodcutter Peter (Shiloh Fernandez), even though she has been promised to the wealthy Henry (Max Irons). Her plans to run away with Peter are shattered when the wolf kills her older sister. Suddenly everything has changed. Famed werewolf hunter Father Solomon (Gary Oldman) is sent for, but immediately warns the townsfolk that the wolf could be lurking within any one of them. As tensions rise, Valerie finds herself at the centre of Solomon's hunt, and discovers that the wolf may be closer than she ever suspected.

He soon finds himself transformed into a grotesque monster, and can only ever break the spell by finding somebody who will love him despite his looks.
