Spider-Man scores for holiday, but aptly-named 'Midsommar' goes off rails

Holland's 'Spider-Man" has big eyes for Zendaya's classmate in new sequel.

How can we create some July Fourth film fireworks? Why, with one more Marvel-backed summer adventure and a rather bizarre, if nightmare-invoking horror film, of course!

The former, "Spider-Man: Far from Home," surely will capture the most eyes during the upcoming four-day weekend with its combination of high school hijinks and heroics from the web-shooting wonder happening all over Europe.

This second "Spider" go-round with good-natured Brit Tom Holland in the dual role of the superhero and alter ego Peter Parker, has him looking forward to a summer vacation. That means a lengthy science trip with all the other class nerds, including best pal Ned (Jacob Batalon) and the brilliant beauty of his dreams, MJ (Zendaya, a legitimate screen superstar in the making).

Surely there has to be more, and there is, with grumpy Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) trying to get our boy involved in high level, save-the-world stuff, and Marvel newcomer Jake Gyllenhaal turning some nifty stunts as the tricky and quirky Quentin Bass/Mysterio.

Also along for the rip-roaring ride are henchman Happy (John Favreau), who has promised boss Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr. in cameo mode) that he would forever keep his eye on the kid, even if he's seriously more happy with Parker's Aunt May (Marisa Tomei).

Obviously, love is in the air, and Peter's ongoing plans for making MJ his main squeeze really do add a sweet and realistic teen touch to the Marvel mayhem that only fans of this gigantic genre can possibly embrace. By the way, since the movie offers a summer school canvas, we'll give extra credit for an extra-special scene in the credits, perhaps the best closer in the universe's cinematic history.

Rated "PG-13": sci-fi action violence, some language and brief suggestive comments; 2:09; $ $ $ and 1/2 out of $5

Hallucinations, profound grief, and oozing brains are all you'll get from me about "Midsommar," a cluster-yuck of sun-drenched images from writer and director Ari Aster as his grotesque follow-up to last summer's superior "Hereditary."

The put-upon Pugh is rarely happy.

Florence Pugh, who was so good in the WWE's "Fighting With My Family" earlier this year, turns in another riveting performance while tagging along with a group of dull anthropologists -- and filmmakers -- who take themselves way too seriously.

Though the movie is unwatchable at times and lost me rather early when a Swedish cult "celebration" that only occurs every 90 years apparently goes off without a single hitch, it likely will keep sleepless types thinking about how disturbing it is hours later.

Regardless, it says here that you won't relate to anyone in the barmy bunch, and even Aster's ironic use of "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore," a '6os classic by the Walker Brothers, falls flat as delivered over the closing credits by Frankie Valli, of all people.

Rated "R": graphic violence, nudity, hallucinogens, profanity; 2:20; $ $ and 1/2 out of $5

Cocaine Bear ($ $) "Love the wild title predator, not the movie."

Ant-Man and the Wasp ($ $) "Crawls instead of buzzes."

Sharper ($ $ $) "Not bad, but shoulda been, uh, even sharper."

MINI-REVIEW: Knock at the Cabin ($ $ and 1/2) "This alleged thriller from noted supernaturalist M. Night Shyamalan, a man famous for movies with plot surprises, can boast an original twist of its own even before the projector begins to work. That's because it is only the second screenplay director Shyamalan has not penned alone, here joining forces with a couple of first-time feature writers in adapting a Paul Tremblay novel ("The Cabin at the End of the World") for the big screen. Maybe that's why 'Knock' becomes more of a slow burner than a persistently riveting take, despite a quartet of home invaders, led by a nice-guy (and occasionally creepy) schoolteacher portrayed by big Dave Bautista. Their chilling message to the cabin-dwelling family of three: Please help us save the world by killing one of your own. Unsettling? Yes, of course it is. A thoroughly engaging watch? Not in this Anthropocene."

MINI-REVIEW: Causeway ($ $ $ $) "Jennifer Lawrence and Brian Tyree Henry knock it out of the park as a pair of wounded souls looking for peace and contentment in the Big Easy. Finding anything close to such security, of course, appears rather difficult considering the pains of personal experience each has been confronting. Two-time Oscar-winner Lawrence speaks volumes here even when she's not saying much, while Tony- and Emmy-Award nominee Henry soars in the role of newfound therapeutic friend trying to heal himself. The little treasure from first-time feature director Lila Neugebauer is streaming exclusively now on AppleTV+."

Weird: The Al Yankovic Story ($ $ and 1/2)

The Return of Tanya Tucker ($ $ $ and 1/2)

The Banshees of Inisherin ($ $ $ $ and 1/2)

MINI-REVIEW: Armageddon Time ($ $) "If not for the performance of Anthony Hopkins, as a smart and loving grandfather, this alleged '80s-era memoir from writer/director James Gray would disgrace parents, teachers and just about every adult surrounding the major brat it centers upon. That would be a creepy 12-year-old (Banks Repeta), who simply becomes dreadfully unlikable, thanks to each malfeasant move he makes. Talk about revisionist history, "Armageddon" also creates an assortment of fictitious moments -- such as bringing in two apparent members of the Trump family -- simply to pin blame on events occurring then for the political meanderings going on now. Yeah, right."

The Retaliators ($ $ $ and 1/2)

Ask Me to Dance ($ $ $)

Everybody Dance ($ $ $ $)

MINI-REVIEW: Louis Armstrong's Black & Blues ($ $ $ $ and 1/2) "This latest 'Jammie' from director Sacha Jenkins practically takes the fabled jazz musician and all-around showman from cradle to grave with a fascinating assortment of personal letters and revealing audio recordings left by the performer himself. Of course, those of a certain age might recall seeing the personable trumpeter all over the place. My parents loved the man called 'Satchmo' and, so then, did I. In fact, his week as co-host of the daily 'Mike Douglas Show' made for truly classic television, and a bit of that stint is sprinkled throughout this doc. Anyway, it's all meaningful viewing, starting Oct. 28 only on AppleTV+ (after world-premiering at last month's 47th annual Toronto International Film Festival)."

MINI-REVIEW: Firestarter ($ $) "The 1984 original featured talents such as Drew Barrymore, George C. Scott, Art Carney and still mostly burned out. This new version, also based on the ever-superior Stephen King novel, is headed by Zac Efron. Now that's really kinda scary. Ryan Kiera Armstrong, the young Barrymore lookalike who stars as the girl with the title powers, does hold her own, but it all seriously plays like a mediocre TV movie. After all, you could be watching it stream on Peacock, if not in theaters."

MINI-REVIEW: All My Puny Sorrows ($ $ $ $ and 1/2) "This small Canadian indie will make you laugh and cry with its intelligent and touching story of a family now mostly consisting of five women trying to avoid one more tragedy in their lives. Famous sisters played by Sarah Gadon (as a world-class pianist) and the exceptional Alison Pill (a novelist) are at the center of it all, along with always-solid Mare Winningham, as their roll with the punches mom. Michael McGowan's direction and script -- particularly filled with brilliant dialogue -- offer plenty to ponder, as well."

MINI-REVIEW: The Lost City ($ $ and 1/2) “Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum and an extended superstar cameo instigate a few laughs but, among other miscues, the tepid screenplay offers no infusion of 'Harry Potter'-like magic for an allegedly villainous turn by Daniel Radcliffe. Too bad, since fun support from Patti Harrison, Da’Vine Joy Randolph and Oscar Nunez almost saves the movie.”
