Action Picks

Tom Holland's Peter Parker fights crime full-time in a world that no longer remembers him, then faces a threat no one can even see. Director Destin Daniel Cretton keeps the stakes personal and the set pieces huge, with Jon Bernthal and Zendaya in support, and it lands 89% on Rotten Tomatoes and 8.1 on IMDb. See it in English on the largest screen you can find.

John Carpenter's returning classic throws Kurt Russell's Jack Burton into a supernatural brawl against the sorcerer Lo Pan, and it still moves with real kinetic swagger and a sharp comic edge. Screenings in English are scarce this week, so move fast if you want to catch it. It holds 65% on Rotten Tomatoes and 7.2 on IMDb.
