Which new movies are worth your money?

Looking for a good movie this weekend? Here are the latest releases, trailers and reviews from Paste BN.

'Paddington'

The marmalade-loving bear from "darkest Peru" takes a charming cinematic adventure in the whimsical Paddington. Based on the beloved children's books by Michael Bond, Paddington's journey from South America to London is just droll enough for adults — qualifying as a gentle parable about xenophobia — and exuberant enough for the youngest viewers. (*** out of four stars)

Trailer: 'Paddington'

A young bear named Paddington makes his way to England in search of a new home, the family that takes him in begins to treat him as one of their own.

'Blackhat'

Blackhat is a tedious, preposterous and incoherent cyberthriller that is anything but thrilling. Director Michael Mann's globe-trotting drama is devoid of suspense. The story is dramatically inert with one-note characters giving lackluster performances. (* ½ out of four stars)

Trailer: 'Blackhat'

Two agencies, American and Chinese combine their powers to capture a cyber criminial who is seeking to bring down the international banking network.

'The Wedding Ringer'

Perhaps The Wedding Ringer would best be called a low-brow-mance. For those who long for a bromantic comedy along the lines of Wedding Crashers, I Love You Man or The Hangover franchise, this surprisingly sweet and intermittently funny but raunchy buddy flick might suffice. (** ½ out of four stars)

Trailer: 'The Wedding Ringer'

Doug Harris played by Josh Gad is a lovable but socially awkward groom-to-be with a problem: he has no best man, so he turns to a best-man-for-hire to help him out.
