Jungle Cruise [Cinemas]
Like Pirates of the Caribbean, this one is inspired by a Disneyland ride. Emily Blunt plays a scientist who hires Dwayne Johnson's crusty sailor to take her down the Amazon in search of a plant with healing powers. Yep, it's The African Queen for kids.

The Last Mercenary [Netflix]
The muscles from Brussels is back. Jean Claude van Damme plays a secret agent turned mercenary who comes out of hiding when his estranged son is in danger. Fatherhood becomes the biggest challenge he's ever faced.

Limbo [Cinemas]

Luz the Flower of Evil [VOD]
In this horror movie from Colombia, a rural farming community is torn by the arrival of a mysterious young boy. The community's leader claims the boy is the messiah, but others believe he has a more sinister purpose.

Madison and the Happiness Jar [VOD]
A "happiness jar" is a jar in which you place daily notes of gratitude. In this film a young woman is given such a jar and finds her life, and love life, changing for the better.

The Most Beautiful Boy in the World [Cinemas]
This documentary tells the story of Bjorn Andresen, who experienced overnight fame at the age of 16 when director Luchino Visconti cast him in his 1971 film Death in Venice.

Spirit Untamed [Cinemas]
In this animation, a troublesome young girl moves to a small town with her family. There she discovers and befriends a horse named Spirit, but their friendship is threatened by a wrangler who plans to capture the animal.

The Suicide Squad [Cinemas]
Not to be confused with 2016's Suicide Squad, this sequel sees Margot Robbie return in her now signature role of Harley Quinn.

Unlike its dour predecessor, this one embraces the cartoonish potential of its premise with lots of gags and over the top violence.
