Today Ben dives into the Viking World of Berk to discuss the Live Action How to Train Your Dragon! Live-action remakes don't exactly have the best track record—some hit, most miss, and many leave us wondering… why even bother? But somehow, How to Train Your Dragon pulls off the near-impossible: staying almost exactly the same as the original and being completely worth it. In today's video, we're breaking down why this remake works where others—like The Lion King, Aladdin, and Beauty and the Beast—struggled. From honoring the animation, to understanding live-action as its own format, to the return of Gerard Butler in bear cape glory... this movie might've just set a new standard.

Min 5: "CÓMO ENTRENAR A TU DRAGÓN": A REINAR LA TAQUILLA La esperada versión en acción real, dirigida por Dean DeBlois (quien regresa tras la trilogía animada), adapta fielmente la primera entrega de la saga. Mason Thames encarna a Hipo, Nico Parker da vida a Astrid, y Gerard Butler retoma su papel como Stoick, esta vez en persona. La película cuenta con una producción de alto calibre: una cinta de 125 minutos, grabada en localizaciones reales, cinemática IMAX y banda sonora compuesta por John Powell. Algo más de dos horas de puro divertimento con una BSO optimizada del gran John Powell. NOTA EDC: 4 estrellas Min 16: SICARIOS DEL AIRE (FIGHT OR FLIGHT) Desenfrenada comedia de acción que convierte un vuelo internacional en una carnicería aérea repleta de sicarios, sangre y humor negro. Dirigida por James Madigan y protagonizada por un revitalizado Josh Hartnett, la película apuesta por el espectáculo sin pretensiones: peleas en espacios reducidos, diálogos afilados y un tono autorreferencial que recuerda a Bullet Train o Deadpool. Aunque su guión es superficial y los personajes apenas se desarrollan, su ritmo imparable, la química entre los protagonistas y el enfoque gamberro la convierten en una propuesta eficaz dentro del cine B contemporáneo. NOTA EDC: 2,5 estrellas Min 20: "VOTEMOS" Dirigido por Santiago?Requejo, es una tragicomedia coral que traslada al cine su corto y su obra teatral para explorar, a través de una junta de vecinos en Madrid que debía decidir la instalación de un ascensor, los prejuicios y el miedo hacia un nuevo inquilino con esquizofrenia paranoide. La cinta destaca por su guion ingenioso, su puesta en escena naturalista en espacio único y un reparto sólido—especialmente Clara?Lago, Tito?Valverde y Gonzalo?de?Castro—que, con sensibilidad, logra equilibrar el humor ácido y el drama social. Aunque recurre a algunos estereotipos generacionales y no evita cierta previsibilidad, el film funciona como espejo de nuestras propias contradicciones cotidianas, invitando a una reflexión sincera y necesaria sobre salud mental, empatía y convivencia. NOTA EDC: 3 estrellas Min 26: "ALGO LE PASA A MI YERNO" Dirigida por Arnaud Lemort y protagonizada por Christian Clavier, se trata de una comedia familiar ligera que aprovecha el encuentro incómodo entre un hijo político que resulta ser un antiguo paciente y su sobreprotector suegro psicoanalista en el marco de una celebración familiar. La película expone, con tono blanco y situaciones manidas, las tensiones generacionales y los clichés sobre las masculinidades, pero tropieza con un guión previsible y gags forzados que diluyen el potencial de su propuesta. NOTICIA EDC: 2,5 estrellas MIN 32: LA PRÓXIMA PELI DE TU VIDA: AGUSTÍN NOS PRESENTA "AMARGA NAVIDAD" Y esta semana, en este capítulo especial, cambiamos la sección de "La película de tu vida" por la que va a ser la próxima película de los hermanos Almodóvar. Agustín, productor de El Deseo, nos ha dejado sonidos del inicio del rodaje entre Madrid y Lanzarote y un mensaje personal con las claves del nuevo proyecto. Un adelanto exclusivo que coincide con el 40 cumpleaños de la productora que ha permitido a Pedro llevar sus sueños cinéfilos a lo más alto. Min 39: ESPECIAL BSO: 30 AÑOS DE "SOSPECHOSOS HABITUALES La banda sonora de "Sospechosos Habituales", que este 2025 cumple 30 años de su estreno, es una pieza clave en la atmósfera densa y engañosa de la película. Compuesta por John Ottman —que también se encargó del montaje, algo poco habitual en Hollywood—, la música destaca por su elegancia contenida, su estructura circular y su capacidad para insinuar más de lo que muestra. Las cuerdas y el piano conducen al espectador a través del misterio con una sutileza que acompaña el relato sin anticipar sus giros, funcionando como un hilo invisible que une los puntos sin resolver.
Travis Hopson reviews Dreamworks' live-action HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON starring Mason Thames, Nico Parker, and Gerard Butler!“On the rugged isle of Berk, where Vikings and dragons have been bitter enemies for generations, Hiccup stands apart. The inventive yet overlooked son of Chief Stoick the Vast, 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 and the village's quirky blacksmith Gobber 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.”HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON is in theaters now.

Continua la tendenza a riproporre grandi successi del cinema di animazione in versione live action. Questa volta è toccato a "Dragon Trainer", uscito nel 2010 per la regia di Dean DeBlois (nella foto), con Mason Thames, Nico Parker e Gerard Butler. È un esperimento un po' diverso da quelli di cui abbiamo già trattato perché si tratta quasi di un remake shot by shot “per cui il cartone animato quasi prende vita”, come ci dice Fiaba Di Martino, esperta di cinema di animazione di Film TV.Con il nostro Boris Sollazzo parliamo di "Ballerina", diretto da Len Wiseman, con Ana de Armas, Keanu Reeves (che è anche il produttore) e Lance Reddick e di "Volvereis", diretto da Jonàs Trueba, con Itsaso Arana, Francesco Carril e Andrés Gertrudix, un film che piacerà di sicuro a quanti hanno amato la serie “Dieci Capodanni”."In marcia con i lupi" è un film diretto da Jean-Michel Bertrand. Lo ha visto per noi Chiara Pizzimenti.La mitica serie degli anni Novanta "Twin Peaks” ritorna in tv su Mubi. Ne parliamo con Giulio Sangiorgio, direttore di Film Tve grande esperto del cinema di David Lynch.
"How To Train Your Dragon" is a live-action remake of the 2010 Academy Award-nominated animated film of the same name, produced by DreamWorks Animation. Directed by the original trilogy's creator and filmmaker Dean DeBlois, the film stars Mason Thames, Nico Parker, and Nick Frost, with Gerard Butler reprising his role as Stoick the Vast from the animated films. Academy Award-nominated composer John Powell, who also worked on the trilogy, additionally returned to compose the score for the film. DeBlois and Powell were both kind enough to spend some time speaking with us about their work and experiences making the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in theaters from Universal Pictures. Thank you, and enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...

Directed by Dean DeBlois, HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON returns to screen with the story of Hiccup, a young viking who doesn't fit in his own village. As the son of the king (Gerard Butler), he is expected to exhibit bravery, brutality and, most importantly, kill dragons to protect his village. But Hiccup believes there's another way and, after forming an impossible friendship with a Nightfury, attempts to chart a new path for his people. In this 1on1, we speak to DeBlois about making the jump to live action and the challenges of listening to the next generation.

Adam discusses the live action remake of How To Train Your Dragon starring Hudson Thames, Nico Parker, and Gerard Butler!
Angela and Nick welcome an actor who definitely knows his way around a kitchen. Nick Frost is an actor, comedian and screenwriter and the first (and possibly only) participant in a Dish chop-off! Frost joins us after the release of his new film, How To Train Your Dragon, a live action remake of the hugely popular animated film series, based on Cressida Cowell's books. The movie sees him star as the popular blacksmith Gobber alongside Gerard Butler, Mason Thames and Nico Parker. You will know Nick Frost from a range of TV and film roles, including the Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The World's End) alongside his good pal and long-time collaborator Simon Pegg. Frost also appeared with Pegg in the cult TV comedy Spaced. Other TV and film credits include Attack the Block, Paul, Truth Seekers, Green Wing, The Adventures of Tintin and Fighting With My Family, alongside costar Florence Pugh. Nick loves life in a kitchen, having worked as a chef before getting into acting. His passion for food is beautifully detailed in his memoir/recipe book, A Slice Of Fried Gold, which is now available in paperback. Having met Angela once before, Frost finally gets to have a full conversation with her (and Nick) over a delicious meal of spicy barbecued lamb with minty tomato & watermelon relish, with Angela marinating the meat overnight for extra flavour. Nick opts for a Fanta, but for wine-lovers our Waitrose experts recommend a glass of PepperBox Shiraz. At our request, Nick brought his favourite kitchen knife to the record for a demonstration of his chopping skills alongside Angela. Our hosts dig into Nick's passion for great tasting food (and clean surfaces), and get the lowdown on the world's best pizza, discovered by Nick in Belfast.

In this week's episode, we dive headfirst into Zack Snyder's hyper-stylized war epic, 300 — a film that turned history into a comic book battlefield. Is it a bold artistic statement or just a barrage of abs and blood? We break down its cultural footprint, iconic visuals, and quotability (yes, this is Sparta gets discussed), while also asking the real question: does 300 still hit like it did in 2007?We evaluate the performances (Gerard Butler yelling his heart out), Snyder's direction, and the influence of 300 on action cinema.
