JULY FILM RELEASES
05/07 Spiderman Homecoming
Stop me if you’ve heard this one. Shy high school student is bitten by radioactive spider, turns into superhero with spider-like abilities. Seen it before? Me too. Twice. So it’s probably just as well that Marvel have skipped the exposition and just jumped straight to the action. Plus this time it’ll have a generous dollop of Avengers mixed in, so basically you’ll have to see it if you want to see Avengers: Infinity Wars.
11/07 War for the Planet of the Apes
The CGI filled battle between the apes, led by Caeser (Andy Serkis), and the humans, led by “the colonel” (Woody Harrelson), escalates to all-out war in this third instalment of the re-booted POTA saga. Who will become king of the swingers and who will end up as an evolutionary footnote? See it and find out.
assaulted and raped by a masked intruder. Having lost faith in the police years earlier, she resolutely vows to discover the identity of her attacker. Brilliant, unflinching and surprisingly funny.
Logan
The X-Men have disbanded and Logan (Hugh Jackman) is taking care of an ailing Professor X (Patrick Stewart) whilst making a living as a chauffeur. Logan is reluctantly hired to deliver a girl to the Canadian border, a girl that Professor X is keen to meet.
14/07 Te Beguiled
07/07 It Comes At
Night
Psychological horror movie about a family living in a cabin in the woods (so far so good) when another family turns up seeking refuge from what is intriguingly described as an “unnatural threat” that is terrorising the world (I call virus). Soon the cabin fills up with paranoia and mistrust as the horror outside start to pale in comparison to the fear inside. Tense and well made, but gore fans will be disappointed. Because there isn’t any.
Something for everyone this month, as Sofia Coppola directs this tale of a trim-rich girls school in civil-war era Virginia. Whilst the staff and young women (Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst, Elle Fanning) take shelter from the war, they take in a wounded union soldier (Colin Farrell) and soon the halls are full of mistrust and bodice-heaving sexual tension. I’ve always said that it pays to be in the union.
SMILEY Kong: Skull
Island You know the drill. Explorer assembles expedition, expedition travels to Skull Island, expedition struggle with exotic flora and fauna and a giant ape shows up periodically to smash seven bells out of everything. Usual Kong fare through an Apocalypse Now filter.

Elle
One evening Michèle (Isabelle Huppert), a successful CEO of a video games company is brutally
Beauty and
the Beast Emma Watson develops Stockholm Syndrome whilst being held prisoner in a remote castle, eventually falling for her captor, a hideously deformed man that talks to furniture. Just kidding, this is another Disney live action remake that doesn’t stray far from the original. Enjoyable but pointless.
