How To Train Your Dragon
As an ancient threat endangers both Vikings and dragons alike on the isle of Berk, the friendship between Hiccup, an inventive Viking, and Toothless, a Night Fury dragon, becomes the key to both species forging a new future together. The long awaited live action adaptation of the beloved animated classic How to Train Your Dragon exceeds all expectations. Directed once again by Dean DeBlois and powered by John Powell's unforgettable score, the film stays about 95% true to the original story: a young Viking who forms an unlikely bond with the very creature his people are sworn to destroy.

Stick (AppleTV+)
An over the hill ex-golfer, fired from his job, sees hope in coaching a troubled teen prodigy after his wife leaves him, staking his future on the youth's success. Owen Wilson brings his usual charm but dials it into something more grounded and broken (but with redeeming qualities). It's got that Ted Lasso vibe; funny, warm, and full of potential without ever feeling forced. The setup is solid, the tone lands well, and there's a good balance of heart and humour. The young golf prodigy is a standout, and even early on, the characters feel layered with room to grow.

Dept. Q (Netflix)
DCI Carl Morck is a brilliant cop but a terrible colleague. His razor sharp sarcasm has made him no friends in Edinburgh police. After a shooting that leaves a young pc dead, and his partner paralysed, he finds himself exiled to the basement and the sole member of Department Q; a newly formed cold case unit. The department is a PR stunt, there to distract the public from the failures of an under resourced, failing police force that is glad to see the back of him. But more by accident than design, Carl starts to build a gang of waifs and strays who have everything to prove. So, when the stone cold trail of a prominent civil servant who disappeared several years ago starts to heat up, Carl is back doing what he does best - rattling cages and refusing to take no for an answer.
