UK FILM TOP 10

1. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (12A)

Spanish filmmaker JA Bayona’s Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is a greatest hits of monstermunching mayhem. There are undeniable thrills and entrails spills, and the carnage is choreographed carnage with flashes of directorial brio.

2. Ocean’s 8 (12A)

Director Gary Ross’s stylish picture brings in an all-female lead cast spearheaded by Oscar winners Sandra Bullock and Cate Blanchett, who are clearly enjoying themselves and their geniality is infectious.

3. Hereditary (15)

Hereditary performs a cinematic striptease, holding our gaze (even when we want to look away) by peeling away the layers of darkness and deceit that condemn one griefstricken family led by miniaturist artist Annie Graham (played by the versatile Toni Collette) to a grim fate. But ultimately it has to bare all. One of the best horror movies in years.

4. Deadpool 2 (15)

Deadpool 2 is a gleefully irreverent and pottymouthed sequel, which proves you can have too much of a good thing.

Due to the weight of expectation, the two hours are crammed to bursting with pop culture references, droll one-liners and machinegun profanities that try a smidgen too hard.

5. Solo: A Star Wars Story (12A)

The second standalone anthology film after Rogue One sketches the formative years of the charismatic scoundrel Han Solo (Alden Ehrenreich) in comforting, broad strokes. This gung-ho romp of doublecrossing criminals is bookmarked by impressively staged setpieces.

6. Avengers: Infinity War (12A)

Iron Man, Thor, the Hulk and the rest of The Avengers unite to battle their most powerful enemy yet - the evil Thanos. On a mission to collect all six Infinity Stones, Thanos plans to use them to inflict his twisted will on the planet and reality.

7. Book Club (12A)

Writer-director Bill Holderman’s frothy romantic comedy stars Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen and Mary Steenburgen as life-long friends, who have forgotten what it means to grow old disgracefully. The ladies are given predictable sub plots so they all head to the end credits with willing suitors.

8. Race 3

The internationally mounted saga of a family that deals in borderline crime but is ruthless and vindictive to the core. A world with twists and turns at every nook and corner.

9. Sherlock Gnomes (U)

Big hitters James Mcavoy and Emily Blunt voice John Stevenson’s computer-animated sequel to the 2011 family comedy Gnomeo & Juliet and bring in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s private detective after a string of garden gnome disappearances.

10. Show Dogs (PG)

Raja Gosnell, director of Beverly Hill Chihuahua, collars a buddy cop movie, which is essentially Miss Congeniality on four legs, with dysfunctional canines replacing the beauty queens. A shaggy dog tale to delight young audiences. Chart courtesy of Cineworld
