_______________ Monastery of St. Gertrude
ALADDIN
A bland, stiffly staged live-action retelling of the animated Disney classic about a petty thief who woos a princess with the help of a wisecracking genie. A whole new world this is not. (MJ) Rated PG
FAST & FURIOUS PRESENTS: HOBBS & SHAW
A dark, bizarre satire about violence and masculinity, starring Jesse Eisenberg as a meek accountant who’s mugged and becomes obsessed with martial arts. (NW) Rated R Documentarian John Chester films himself and his wife Molly as they trade in their urban L.A. life for a full-service, 200-acre farm. At the Magic Lantern. (NW) Rated PG
CRAWL
As a hurricane barrels down on Florida, a young woman and her father are trapped in a flooding house surrounded by very hungry alligators. A goofy, zippy creature feature. (NW) Rated R
ECHO IN THE CANYON
Monastery of St. Gertrude 465 Keuterville Road Cottonwood, Idaho 83522 MyRaspberryFestival.org
Part documentary and part concert film, this is an entertaining tribute to the innovations and continuing influence of the L.A. rock scene of the mid’60s. At the Magic Lantern. (NW) Rated PG-13
MOVIE TIMES
JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 3 — PARABELLUM
Keanu Reeves’ stoic assassin is back for more ultraviolence, and this time he has a bounty on his head. Frustratingly frontloaded and too long, but it works as a showcase for lithe action choreography. (NW) Rated R

DON’T MISS IT
WORTH $10
original, but this CGI remake of Disney’s 1994 classic is nonetheless an entertaining, visually sumptuous jungle adventure. The stories and songs remain foolproof — hakuna matata, indeed. (SS) Rated PG
MIDSOMMAR
Ari Aster’s follow-up to Hereditary is another horror freak-out, this time about a fracturing American couple swallowed up by a Swedish cult. As perverse, unsettling and brutal as you’d expect. (JB) Rated R

friendly hit about what our pets do when we’re not home. (MJ) Rated PG
SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME
Even on a trip to Europe, Peter Parker can’t dodge his superhero duties, donning his Spidey suit to fight off evil humanoids known as Elementals. A sharp and funny continuation of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. (SS) Rated PG-13
STUBER
ONCE UPON A TIME… IN HOLLYWOOD
A fitfully amusing buddy-action comedy about a rideshare driver Kumail Nanjiani who becomes unwitting chauffeur to vision-impaired cop Dave Bautista, chasing down the gang that killed his partner. (NW) Rated R
PAVAROTTI
Pixar’s most beloved franchise returns to assault your tear ducts. Having been given to a new owner, Woody and Buzz Lightyear have some familiar fun-filled adventures while also ruminating about the existential angst of being a toy. (MJ) Rated G
Quentin Tarantino’s ode to 1969 L.A. finds a washed-up TV star, his longtime stunt double and Sharon Tate crossing paths in unexpected ways. Rambling, elegiac, uneven and occasionally brilliant. (NW) Rated R Director Ron Howard’s latest music documentary focuses on legendary tenor Luciano Pavarotti, who helped bring opera to the mainstream. At the Magic Lantern. (NW) Rated PG-13
THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS 2
Animated sequels don’t get more blah than this, a disjointed, only occasionally engaging follow-up to the family-
TOY STORY 4
YESTERDAY
A promising concept — a struggling musician discovers he’s the only person on Earth who remembers the Beatles, and cashes in — can’t overcome sluggish execution. Don’t overthink this one. (MJ) Rated PG-13 n
