TOP 10 BOX OFFICE: 9th September
RECOMMENDED:
1. SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY
Directed by: Destin Daniel Cretton
Starring: Tom Holland, Zendaya, Sadie Sink
After the head-messing, Multiverse-bending battle of No Way Home, all Peter Parker wanted was to swing through the streets of NYC as a plain ol’ grass-roots neighbourhood hero. But the universe has other plans, and in this crazy-anticipated return for Tom Holland’s hero, the webslinger will battle everything from sting-happy psycho Scorpion to his own rogue DNA. Don’t miss his journey from Spider-Boy to Spider-Man.

2. THE ODYSSEY
3. INSIDIOUS: OUT OF THE FURTHER
4. TOY STORY 5
Directed by: Andrew Stanton
Starring: Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack
Hilarious and profound, the Oscar-winning Pixar saga has always held up a mirror to our lives – now Toy Story 5’s timely tech-vs-toys premise will hook every frazzled parent and app-happy child. Buzz and Woody still live for owner Bonnie’s affections, but can they really compete with the limitless games, cat videos and social-media feeds of dastardly froggy tablet Lilypad (Greta Lee)? After watching Toy Story 5, you’ll confiscate their smartphones and make them play with a spinning top.
Georgie (Age 10) - ★★★★★
"I really loved it, it sends a good message and I think everyone should listen to it and get it. Be outside more and play. I don't want to spoil it and give too much away but it's really good and funny aswell. Everyone should go see it. The toys are back."

5. THE END OF OAK STREET
Directed by: David Robert Mitchell
Starring: Anne Hathaway, Ewan McGregor, Maisy Stella.
Undoing all the good PR work of Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie, this Spielbergian chomp-romp reminds us that, actually, dinosaurs are apex predators who want to crunch your head like a big hairy eggshell. Ewan McGregor and Anne Hathaway front this Jurassic-rivalling survival thriller, awakening to discover their street has been transplanted to the land that time forgot. And now there’s something nasty rustling in the trash cans…
Sam (Age 13) - ★★★★
"This film is honestly a 7.5 out of 10. It's about a neighbourhood that gets transported back to the prehistoric, where a family struggles to survive. It was probably one of the scariest Dino movies I've seen. Maybe even more terrifying than Jurassic Park, but I did see this on the big screen. The cinematography was clever. The constant zoom-ins at the beginning of the film were slightly jarring, though. It has accurate dinosaurs, sci fi stuff and is set in the 1980s. My only gripe is that the characters are marginally stupid, but I'd probably react the same way if I was in their situation!"

6. MINIONS & MONSTERS
Directed by: Pierre Coffin
Starring: Allison Janney, Christoph Waltz, Jeff Bridges
The Minions take on 1920s Hollywood? Sounds like the recipe for a disaster movie – but you can’t grasp the carnage until you book this third spin-off from Illumination’s five-billion-dollar Despicable Me universe. Plotting to make their own monster movie, the brand-new Minions lineup – that’s James, Henry, Ed and Dick – set sail for a forbidden island to capture the real thing. Will it all go to plan – or will everybody’s favourite cretinous canary-yellow capsules lose control of their beastly bringbacks? You really shouldn’t need to ask us that question.

PRACTICAL MAGIC 2
Directed by: Susanne Bier
Starring: Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman, Joey King.
Hitting the sweet spot where ‘romcom’ meets ‘fantasy-horror’, this long-awaited sequel to 1998’s Practical Magic reunites witchy sisters Sally (Sandra Bullock) and Gillian (Nicole Kidman) and sets the cauldron smoking with a macabre new plot. The family curse has struck again – this time offing the boyfriend of Sally’s twenty-something daughter, Kylie (Joey King). And as the kid strikes a deal with the devil, the sisters race to stop the toil and trouble.
