» Wes Anderson, the mastermind behind quirky classics like The Royal Tenenbaums (2001), The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou (2004) and The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014), returns to the screen with a delightful short film, The Wonderful Story Of Henry Sugar. This Netflix original is his second adaptation of a Roald Dahl story, following the success of Fantastic Mr Fox in 2009. Clocking in as a short film, it might just be the most intriguing and thought-provoking cinematic nugget of its time. Anderson, renowned for his unique storytelling and star-studded casts, weaves a tale within a tale, presenting audiences with a visually stunning and thematically rich experience.

» At different degrees, we are all so familiar with Harry Potter's stories and the wonderful magical adventure that went on to become one of the most successful novel and cinematic franchises of all time. Still, it's hard to believe that it's 20 years since the first film came out, and most of the original fans of the series are now in their 30s and 40s. After the success of reunion specials that have aired recently, like the epic fantasy series Game Of Thrones or the 90s sitcom Friends, HBO has brought us another heartwarming special with Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return To Hogwarts, the highly anticipated retrospective special that is now streaming exclusively on HBO GO.
The Dig needs to go deeper

» If you studied archaeology or enjoyed stories about discovering long lost artefacts and unearthing secrets that have been hidden under the ground, then the new British period drama The Dig might actually be worth your time. The Dig is based on the 2007 novel of the same name by John Preston, and is the second directorial effort by Australian filmmaker Simon Stone. The film reimagines the events of how an archaeologist embarks on the historically significant excavation of Sutton Hoo in the late 1930s, the grave of an Anglo-Saxon king. While at distance, the film may look beautiful and features a parade of well-known performers such as Carey Mulligan, Ralph Fiennes and Lily James, the film somewhat suffers from the lack of focus and good execution.
