  • Film Review: How To Train Your Dragon

    2 weeks ago | screensphere.co.uk | Awais Irfan

    Filmmakers revisiting their work isn’t anything new – Michael Haneke’s American Funny Games; Alfred Hitchcock’s The Man Who Knew Too Much; even Heat is a do-over of Michael Mann’s own L.A Takedown. If it’s going to be done, after all, surely it’s best in the hands of those who know it best. That’s director Dean DeBlois’ mantra anyway, who returns to How to Train Your Dragon for the live-action remake after helming the animated trilogy a decade ago.

  • Scrappy Sequel Has The Heart Of A Champion - Karate Kid: Legends (Film Review)

    4 weeks ago | filmhounds.co.uk | Awais Irfan

    Karate Kid: Legends is the first theatrical entry in the franchise in 15 years, since the 2010 reboot starring Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith. Sure, Karate Kid has thrived in the streaming corner with legacy-sequel-series Cobra Kai, but Legends relishes in the spectacle of the big screen – a peppy reminder of the popcorn fun this series has brought for over three decades.

  • Less Rollercoaster Ride, More Tepid Stroll - Lilo & Stitch (Film Review)

    1 month ago | filmhounds.co.uk | Awais Irfan

    Few properties have been as influential as Lilo & Stitch, a film that has been permanently in the cultural psyche since its release in 2002. A live-action remake was always inevitable, but after a string of lukewarm adaptations, the House of Mouse’s new take comes with more to prove – upgraded from a Disney+ release to a fully-fledged theatrical endeavour. Stitch (Chris Sanders) is the failed, illegal experimentation of evil genius Jumba (Zach Galifianakis).

  • Lilo & Stitch live action creators on adapting the "timely" Disney film

    1 month ago | filmhounds.co.uk | Awais Irfan

    Few properties have been as influential as Lilo & Stitch, a film that has been permanently in the cultural psyche since its release in 2001. A remake was always inevitable and ahead of the film's release, director Dean Fleischer Camp and producer Jonathan Eirich sat down with FILMHOUNDS to discuss their new take, the film's cultural significance, and the legacy of Stitch. Adapting a film as iconic as this is no easy feat, and the creative duo discussed the pressures of approaching this material.

Adored HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON (2025), a deft reimagining that recaptures the soul of the original and builds on the emotional nuances of it too. Unnecessary? Sure. When it’s *this* thrilling though, it’s easy to forgive. For @screensphere, my review - https://t.co/81JzP11qIt https://t.co/hPZFbYRzqD
