Spider-Man: Brand New Day

2026· 2h 25m

Big-screen superhero action with a real threat you cannot see

This is the kind of kinetic action-adventure that earns the biggest screen you can find, with Tom Holland's Spider-Man fighting crime full-time in a world that has forgotten him. Director Destin Daniel Cretton pushes Peter Parker toward a transformation he may not control, all while a powerful, invisible villain menaces the city. It screens in English here, and at 89% on Rotten Tomatoes and 8.1 on IMDb the payoff lands.

The Uprising

A brutal medieval rebellion built for momentum and high stakes

Paul Greengrass turns a 14th-century peasant uprising into a desperate, kinetic fight for justice as war and plague tear through England. Andrew Garfield leads an army of commoners against the King's might, and the tagline says it plainly: rise or die. It plays in English and the scale of the revolt is made for a big screen.

The Fast and the Furious

A returning street-racing classic with pure engine-fueled action

This is a returning classic from 2001, and for an action fan it still delivers: street racer Dominic Toretto, a crew suspected of big-rig hijackings, and an undercover cop forced to pick a side. Vin Diesel and Paul Walker anchor the crime thriller, which sits at 6.8 on IMDb and plays in English. Note that screenings are few this week, so plan ahead if you want to catch it.
