Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
Award-winning Alfonso Cuarón ('Children of Men', 'Roma') takes control of the third movie in the saga and puts his world view on the Harry Potter story. The tone is much darker than the previous two films, with characters like the frightening Dementors and the complex Sirius Black. But more than that, 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban' puts layers and characters into the fight against Lord Voldemort and, most importantly, experiments with script and direction -- thus becoming the critics' favorite, a large part of the audience, and even author JK Rowling.

From the same director
Gravity
"Gravity" has a runtime of 90 minutes, but did you know that there are visual effects in around 80 minutes of the movie? In addition to the extremely complex and fast-paced sequence shots - an achievement of Mexican cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki, which earned him a well-deserved Oscar - the production sought to emulate the feeling of lightness in space throughout the film.
Children of Men
It is no surprise that Mexican Alfonso Cuarón is one of the best directors in activity today. However, the feature film 'Children of Men' surpasses any expectation. After all, from the plot of a sick society, in which women can no longer have children, Cuarón creates a powerful, energetic and one of the best films of the 2000s. The direction is consistent, the production is mature and some scenes are historical, such as the sequence shot inside a car. All this is reason enough to watch 'Children of Men', which, along with 'Roma', consolidates Cuarón in the history of cinema.
Roma
'Roma' is simply the masterpiece of Mexican director Alfonso Cuarón, responsible for the highly acclaimed 'Gravity'. Winner of the prestigious Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, the film is Netflix's bet to win the Golden Globe and the Oscar. The work is a nostalgic portrait of Mexico of the past (including some autobiographical elements of the director), offering a critical look at the inequality and machismo that still affect Mexican society (and Latin American society in general). A jewel of immense visual and narrative beauty that you can't miss.
Adventure
The Magician's Elephant
Follows Peter, who is searching for his long-lost sister. When he crosses paths with a fortune teller in the market square, he want to know, is his sister still alive? To get the answer, he must find a mysterious elephant and the magician who will conjure it, setting Peter off on a journey to complete three seemingly impossible tasks that will change the face of his town.
The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse
Based on the homonymous illustrated book by Charlie Mackesy, 'The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse' is a beautiful animated short film exclusive to Apple TV+. Through art direction that looks like an animated watercolor - imitating the style of the book -, the film tells the simple story of empathy and friendship between the four title characters. Beautiful and totally appropriate for children, although it will certainly warm the heart of even the toughest adult.
Shazam! Fury of the Gods
Sequel to the 2019 film, 'Shazam! Fury of the Gods' starts differently. Billy Batson (Asher Angel) is now a teenager, nearing adulthood, who can transform into a superhero (Levi) when he invokes a sort of mystical power. Now, however, he is not alone: his foster siblings also share the power and begin to defend the city of Philadelphia, in the United States, from villains. This is the case with three Greek gods (Helen Mirren, Rachel Zegler, Lucy Liu) who threaten the superhero family by facing other strong mystical powers. The film doesn't have the brilliance of DC's "independent" productions like 'Batman' and 'Joker', but it's also far from being a disaster like 'Batman v. Superman', 'Justice League', and even 'Wonder Woman 1984'. The film has a certain freshness, similar to that seen in Gunn's 'The Suicide Squad'. Like in the first feature, director David F. Sandberg ('Lights Out') knows that Shazam's story cannot be as grand as Batman's journey on the big screen, for example, or Superman's. He needs to focus on the little, on the closeness of these heroes who are actually teenagers experiencing almost magical powers. That's where the fun and the difference of the film lies, which doesn't take itself too seriously and therefore doesn't make any commitment to the viewer to be grand or opulent. It goes straight to the point, being its main virtue and making the experience the most enjoyable possible in the end.
We Have a Ghost
If you remember the classic movie The Haunted Mansion with Eddie Murphy, then you'll find something similar in this Netflix movie. We Have a Ghost is the story of a family that moves into a typical haunted house, where a ghost (David Harbour, Stranger Things) resides and doesn't remember what happened, so the family decides to solve the mystery. It's a wild mix of genres, from action to comedy, horror, and mystery. It's not always very coherent, but it's very entertaining. Plus, Jennifer Coolidge's (The White Lotus) performance is very funny.
