Monday: Squealing tires in a double pack
Fans of horsepower and motorized carriages will definitely get their money’s worth today. In the “Fast & Furious” spin-off „Hobbs & Shaw“ Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham convince as an unlikely duo with snappy sayings, crazy action scenes and lots of cameos that will make the heart of every franchise fan beat faster. If you also have children who already have petrol in their veins, you should be happy about the release of the second season „Hot Wheels Let’s Race“ because there is a lot of racing fun here too.
Speaking of children: A really great film for the younger audience starts today with „The Robber Hotzenplotz“For editor-in-chief Christoph Petersen, one of the best Otfried Preußler film adaptations ever – the critics give it 4 out of 5 possible stars and special praise for the acting trio Nicholas Ofczarek as Hotzenplotz, August Diehl as Zwackelmann, Hedi Kriegeskotte as the grandmother.
If you prefer something scary and are not into sports cars or swashbucklers, you might find „Scream VI“ the right entertainment. The sixth part is again a lot of fun, because here the Ghostface Killer is up to mischief in New York – and (typically for big cities) doesn’t shy away from using firearms. In the official FILMSTARTS review it received a fantastic 4 out of 5 stars, here we also have the trailer:

Now you can enjoy the live-action adaptation of the children’s book classic, which was awarded 4 stars in the FILMSTARTS review, on Netflix. Here we have the trailer as a foretaste for you:
