This week's picks for Brussels

This is kinetic sci-fi action built for a big screen: Peter Parker fighting crime full-time while an unseen threat forces a transformation he can barely control. Destin Daniel Cretton keeps the stakes personal and the set pieces loud, with Tom Holland, Zendaya and Jon Bernthal anchoring it. At 89% on Rotten Tomatoes and 8.1 on IMDb, the payoff lands.

Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman star as the Owens sisters, facing down a dark family curse with warmth, wit, and a little enchantment. Director Susanne Bier wraps the romance and fantasy in exactly the kind of cozy, heartfelt magic that makes a night out feel special. Settle in close and let the spell do the rest.

This animated comedy adventure sends the Minions on a wild, ridiculous romp through Hollywood, with a voice cast that includes Christoph Waltz, Jeff Bridges and Allison Janney. Rated PG, it is bright, silly and safe, the kind of relaxed outing kids and grown-ups can both enjoy. Critics are on board too, with 89% on Rotten Tomatoes.
