9:00 p.m. HBO Season Finale So far, GoT's had a formula: The ninth episode boasts the action, while the season's 10th (and final) installment is the comedown. This year's penultimate episode is as intense as ever, but you won't have time to catch your breath, as the producers have packed the finale with major confrontations, a cliff-hanger, and at least one huge twist. ''As we've seen this year, there's a completely different layout to the show—it's been fast-paced the whole way,'' says Maisie Williams, who plays Arya Stark. ''Episode 10 is very strong. There won't be disappointed people like usual.'' She should know: One pivotal scene involves the lethal Arya, whose relationship with captor/mentor the Hound comes to a serious crossroads. Yet it's the fate of fan favorite Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) that's sure to have us buzzing the most. Please don't break our hearts, Thrones—we can only take so much! —James Hibberd

| | IN THEATERS THIS WEEKEND |  22 Jump Street If you loved 21 Jump Street, you're in luck: The sequel, 22 Jump Street, is the exact same movie. Since the first film was such a fast and fizzy buddy-cop bromance, that's not the worst news in the world. But it is a bit of a disappointment. Reprising their Mutt-and-Jeff routine, Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum play undercover narcs Schmidt and Jenko, who are assigned to go back to school and pose as students to sniff out a drug ring. Sound familiar? Only this time, instead of high school, they're dumped on a college campus, and the drug is a deadly synthetic mix of Ecstasy and Adderall called WHYPHY.'
B- – Chris Nashawaty | How To Train Your Dragon 2 The sequel picks up five years later in the island world of Berk, where everything is copacetic between Hiccup (the eternally pubescent voice of Jay Baruchel); his dad, Stoick (the eternally grunting voice of Gerard Butler); and his dragon pal, Toothless. But trouble awaits. And lots of it.
B – Joe McGovern | Coherence In an impressive big-screen debut from James Ward Byrkit, eight friends discover metaphysics on their menu when a passing comet creates a set of doppelgängers down the road, enjoying their own identical soiree. Byrkit makes the most of the claustrophobic one-house setting, ratcheting up the dread and paranoia as his characters make a string of seemingly reasonable but ultimately wrongheaded decisions.
