Crime 101 is a tense, well-cast heist thriller from Bart Layton: good entertainment with Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo and Halle Berry, but not above average. Rating: 3.5/5.

Bong Joon-ho's Mickey 17 is an inventive, entertaining sci-fi satire with a committed Robert Pattinson, but it is not above average. Rating: 3.5/5.

Tenzing is Apple's true-story drama about Tenzing Norgay and the 1953 Everest ascent: a slow start, then gripping, beautifully shot and very emotional. Rating: 4.5/5.

DC League of Super-Pets is an animated family film full of DC in-jokes: good fun and a safe family pick, but not above average. Rating: 3.5/5.

House of the Dragon Season 3 is visually breathtaking and full of strong Westeros stories, but it never says where it is heading. A recommended 4/5, with reservations.

Season 6 adapts two Mick Herron novels in six episodes, puts Slough House under real pressure and looks stunning. A perfect 5/5 and our favourite season in years.

Attack on Titan Season 1 turns a bizarre premise into a relentless, high-stakes military thriller. An honest 4/5 review for anime beginners.

Hoppers delivers a brilliant robotic-wildlife premise and reference-grade visuals on Vision Pro, but a manic second half drops it to an uneven 3.5/5.
