Blockbuster Of The Week
Thor: Love And Thunder (12A)
The Norse god of thunder answers cries for help alongside Star-Lord and the Guardians of the Galaxy. A distressing vision ushers Thor and rock-like warrior buddy Korg back to New Asgard, ruled by Valkyrie, where accursed Gorr the God Butcher lays a diabolical trap to slaughter all deities with the fabled Necrosword. Thor offers a robust defence alongside old flame Jane Foster, who has taken on the guise of the Mighty Thor with magical hammer Mjolnir at her side.

Brian And Charles (PG)
Brian lives alone in a tumbledown cottage in the Welsh countryside. He repurposes one cow shed as an “inventions pantry” to transform odds and ends into outlandish gadgets and appliances. Brian’s most ambitious project is a 7ft tall robot companion called Charles, lovingly fashioned from a discarded mannequin’s head and an old washing machine for the automaton’s torso. Inventor and sentient creation become devoted companions.

Futura (12A)

Torn between the simple nostalgia of the past and an uncertain future, the film’s subjects candidly share their modest ambitions and wax lyrical about hopes for a more tolerant society.
