2) Kingsman: The Secret Service — An all-star action thriller based on The Secret Service comic book series. The cast includes Samuel L. Jackson, Mark Hamill, Mark Strong, Jack Davenport, and Michael Caine. Colin Firth stars as a veteran member of a global secret service who takes in a young street kid and teaches him the ropes of international intrigue. Check Fandango for screens and times.

3)  The Last Five Years – Hollywood tries its hand at a different kind of musical. This quasi-autobiographical off-Broadway hit was written by Jason Robert Brown about the breakup of his marriage. It’s told from two points of view and on two different timelines: The wife’s story moves from the day of the divorce to the day of the marriage inter-cut with the husband’s story moving from the day of the first meeting to the day of the wedding. Here’s hoping that director Richard LaGravenese and stars Anna Kendricks and Jeremy Jordan can transfer that to the screen. Check Fandango for screens and times.
