VILLAGE CINEMAS

Toy Story 4 (G) Less of a sequel and more of a stand-alone adventure that reflects the high standards of the preceding trilogy, Toy Story 4’ s premise integrates Sheriff Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks) and our old faves with a new collection of characters more than worthy of admission to the Toy Story universe. Both entertaining and emotionally astute, wonderful stuff from beginning to end. (Eastlands, Glenorchy, Hobart, Launceston)

Spider-Man: Far From Home (M) All the evidence needed that the Marvel Cinematic Universe will go on changing and expanding is there for all to see in Spider-Man: Far From Home, a zippy and enjoyable Peter Parkerpropelled adventure that starts right up where Endgame left off. (Eastlands, Glenorchy, Hobart, Launceston)

Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (M) No-one comes to a movie like Hobbs and Shaw for the plot. They come along for a bit of biff, a bit of banter and a big fat whack of overthe-top car chases and shoot-outs. For the first two-thirds of Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) and Shaw (Jason Statham), the movie gets the balance exactly right between adrenaline and amusement. It is only in the final section of Hobbs and Shaw that the movie begins to lose some of his hard-earned momentum. (Eastlands, Glenorchy, Hobart, Launceston)

Angel has Fallen (MA15+) We are three movies into Gerard Butler’s inexplicably popular series of action-adventure thrillers, and his character is yet to find a cure for his chronic case of IBS. (Irritable Bodyguard Syndrome, in case you were wondering.) Yep, that’s right : Secret Service superman Mike Banning (Butler) is as crabby and stabby as ever.

The Lion King (PG) See review above. (Eastlands, Glenorchy, Hobart, Launceston)
