Cinema date?

July is here and the blockbuster season is going into overdrive with a few big titles being released this month.

Here are the best movies you can catch in the cinema this July.

The Legend of Tarzan

Release date: July 6

Plot: Tarzan, having acclimated to life in London, is called back to his former home in the jungle to investigate the activities at a mining encampment.

Go see it because: Director David Yates has already proven that he’s adept at handling big-budget blockbusters having helmed four Harry Potter movies. Any film that features Christoph Waltz, Samuel L. Jackson and Margot Robbie is fine by us.

The Neon Demon

Go see it because: Nicolas Winding Refn’s latest film was nominated for the Palme D’or at Cannes and while Only God Forgives was a misstep, there’s no denying that the director of Drive, Bronson and Pusher is a rare talent behind the lens.
