From this week's picks, still showing today.
Action pick
Big-screen superhero action with real stakes
Tom Holland's Spider-Man fights crime full-time in a city that no longer remembers him, up against a powerful villain no one can even see. Director Destin Daniel Cretton keeps the threat personal and the set pieces huge, and at 145 minutes there is room for real payoffs. It sits at 8.0 on IMDb and 90% on Rotten Tomatoes, and it plays in English here.
Date Night pick
A dinner party that lights a spark
Olivia Wilde directs and stars opposite Seth Rogen, Edward Norton and Penelope Cruz in a sly story of marriage, desire and one unforgettable night when Joe and Angela invite their enigmatic upstairs neighbors to dinner. It is witty, a little dangerous, and full of real feeling under the laughs, the kind of evening out that leaves you trading theories and teasing each other all the way home. Rated 96% on Rotten Tomatoes and 7.5 on IMDb, it is as sharp as date nights get.
Family pick
A Magical Island Adventure the Whole Family Will Love
Forgotten Island is an animated adventure fantasy that follows best friends Jo and Raissa through a mysterious portal to the island of Nakali, where they race to get home before they lose every memory of their friendship. It is warm, funny, and easy to follow, which makes it a lovely relaxed outing for kids and grown ups alike. Rated PG, it suits children of roughly six and up, with plenty of heart for the adults too. Screenings are limited this week, so it is worth booking ahead.
