Spider-Man: Brand New Day

2026· 2h 25m

Big-screen superhero action, playing in English and easy to catch

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is the kinetic action-adventure to build your week around: Tom Holland's Peter Parker fights crime full-time against an unseen villain, and the setup promises the kind of momentum and high stakes that reward a big screen. It's the most widely available film in town right now, so you have no excuse to miss it. At 145 minutes it takes its time, but the 8.1 IMDb score says the payoff lands.

Action/adventure sci-fi built for a loud, packed house
By far the easiest film here to actually get into
Strong 8.1 IMDb rating

Showtimes & details

The French Connection

Ruthless cop thriller with one of cinema's great cops

The French Connection is lean, hard-nosed action-crime filmmaking: Gene Hackman's 'Popeye' Doyle chasing a French heroin operation, no fat on it at 104 minutes. Critics have it at 97%, and this is the sort of grounded, kinetic thriller that hits hardest on a big screen. Screenings are scarce this week, so treat it as catch-it-while-you-can.

Dirty Harry

Take-no-prisoners action classic, one of the last chances to see it

Dirty Harry is pure momentum: Clint Eastwood's Harry Callahan hunting a San Francisco psychopath, take-no-prisoners from the first frame. It's a tight 102-minute action-crime-thriller with an 89% critics score, and the big-screen scale suits its ruthless edge. Availability is thin right now, so this is essentially a last-chance screening.
