How To Train Your Dragon (2025)

Directed by: Dean DeBlois
Studio: Universal Pictures

On the rugged isle of Berk, where Vikings and dragons have been bitter enemies for generations, Hiccup (Mason Thames; The Black Phone, For All Mankind) stands apart. The inventive yet overlooked son of Chief Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler, reprising his voice role from the animated franchise), Hiccup defies centuries of tradition when he befriends Toothless, a feared Night Fury dragon. Their unlikely bond reveals the true nature of dragons, challenging the very foundations of Viking society. With the fierce and ambitious Astrid (BAFTA nominee Nico Parker; Dumbo, The Last of Us) and the village’s quirky blacksmith Gobber (Nick Frost; Snow White and the Huntsman, Shaun of the Dead) by his side, Hiccup confronts a world torn by fear and misunderstanding. As an ancient threat emerges, endangering both Vikings and dragons, Hiccup’s friendship with Toothless becomes the key to forging a new future. Together, they must navigate the delicate path toward peace, soaring beyond the boundaries of their worlds and redefining what it means to be a hero and a leader.

Directed by: Lisa Belcher
Studio: Abramorama

Haunted by her childhood memories of finding her mother dead, a conflicted Dee (Natasha Henstridge) arrives at a mysterious secluded property looking for answers. Upon checking in, she meets six other weekend guests there for the same reason as herself — ending their lives with the assistance of the enigmatic host, Abraham (Lukas Hassel). Abraham assures everyone that their deaths will happen under his guidance, cleanly, safely, and most importantly, lovingly. When someone is ready to end their life, they will ring the bell of death outside, gathering everyone for their end. As he states: Life is not for everyone. He informs the guests that they are, of course, free to change their minds and leave if they so choose. When Dee stumbles upon evidence that a fellow guest has mysteriously disappeared, leaving all his things behind, she has the chilling realization that Abraham lied. No one leaves the House alive. A final confrontation between Dee and Abraham leads to a twist that no one can foresee. The future of the House of Abraham is on the line and the stakes are truly life and death.

Our War

Directed by: Bernard-Henri Lévy
Studio: Cohen Media Group

Between February and April 2025, Bernard-Henri Lévy and co-director Marc Roussel traveled across the fronts of Pokrovsk and Sumy, in eastern Ukraine. They filmed the daily lives of civilians bombarded by Russian forces seeking to terrorize them on the eve of potential negotiations. They also filmed frontline fighters heroically resisting the Russian military and its mercenaries. Our War is structured as a logbook chronicling this experience. But the directors have been filming this war since spring 2022–and even before–since the war truly began with the invasion of Crimea in 2014. They draw from personal archives and remind viewers of the major milestones of the first large-scale conflict on European soil since 1945. With unprecedented access, Lévy’s exclusive and rare footage shows why Ukraine must win and why victory for Ukraine is possible, despite the pessimism of global arm-chair experts.

Who in the Hell Is Regina Jones?

Directed by: Billy Miossi & Soraya Sélène
Studio: Weigel Productions

The extraordinary life of Regina Jones is one not only shaped by history, but also one that made history. From pregnant and married at 15, through the middle of the Watts Rebellion of 1965, to emerging as a groundbreaking newspaper publisher, Regina is a testament to the American experience. That lived experience, as a Black American woman raising a family of 5 children, stepping in places where she was not wanted, and navigating a world that offered her no favors, is one that is still too often overlooked. Who in the Hell is Regina Jones turns a lens on Regina’s remarkable journey — the invisible labor, the turmoil, struggle and the joy of a modern-day Black woman.
