Dear cinephiles, it’s once again barren land in the summertime movie world. But there are some quality kids’ blockbusters that you could also enjoy.  I’ve already covered them – if you didn’t catch them before, here are the WORTHY ONES to see before they’re gone:

DOULEUR ET GLOIRE **** (Almadovar’s brilliant semi-autobiography with Antonio Banderas)
GATEWAYS TO NEW YORK **** (Captivating documentary on the Swiss man who built New York’s bridges)
NOOREEV – THE WHITE CROW ***1/2 (Nureyev’s rise to fame before he passed over to the West, by Ralph Fiennes)
ROCKETMAN ***1/2 (Elton John’s exhilarating story)
LE DAIM ***1/2 (Quentin Dupieux’s wild, genius lunacy with a superb Jean Dujardin)
THE LION KING *** (A delight)
SPIDER-MAN *** (Great fun)
ALADDIN *** (Smart update)
TOY STORY 4 *** (Touching, as always)
YESTERDAY **1/2 (Danny Boyle’s rendition of a world ignorant of the Beatles’ songs!)

The absolutely delightful new SPIDER-MAN, which is full of heart, humor and exciting action, brilliantly cast and directed

TOY STORY 4

Heart-warming and fun.
