Ride the Snake review – low-budget home-invasion horror offers transgressive free-for-all

-
After a car accident kills her husband, Harper and her daughter kidnap the driver responsible to serve their own kind of justice – but he may not be everything he first seems Quoting the classics can be a dangerous game for a film – one liable to highlight your shortcomings. When two Gypsies-cum-demons chant Leaning on the Everlasting Arms , Robert Mitchum’s ditty from Night of the Hunter, not to mention bearing love-hate tattoos on their knuckles, it indicates that this low-budget British home-invasion horror is missing the same fairytale concision. Which is a shame, as this messy but entrancing, faintly surrealist feature by Shani Grewal has entirely different qualities of its own. Blinded in a car accident that killed her husband, Harper (Suzanna Hamilton) has lived alone for several years; until recently that is, as stepson Taran (Viraj Juneja) returns home to find that his mother and sister Megan (Francesca Baker) have kidnapped the drunk driver responsible and shackled him in a...

Koffee With Karan 8: Ranveer Singh recalls rushing home after Deepika Padukone had a blackout in 2014: "When I went and saw her, there wasn't something right"

-

Deepika Padukone has always been open about her journey with mental health, her depression, her struggle to understand her symptoms, and eventually starting therapy and medications. She eventually also started her foundation for the same. The first episode of Koffee With Karan 8 saw the star-couple Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh who came together for the first time ever on the Koffee couch, spilling the beans on their marriage, proposal and more. On this episode of KWK, Karan Johar also opened up about his mental health struggle and asked about hers. While Deepika said that Ranveer has been a strong support throughout the journey, the actor recalled how he once rushed home when Deepika had a blackout in 2014.

Recalling an incident in 2014, Ranveer said that Deepika had called whilst he was shooting and said, "I've had a blackout, and I've had a fall. Can you come home?" Ranveer, without hesitation, left the set immediately to be by her side. Describing what he saw when he reached home, he said, "When I went and saw her, there wasn't something right. She was with you, she was looking at you, but she wasn't all there."

Ranveer recalled having breakfast one day with her and how Deepika broke down in tears. He revealed, “One day at breakfast she was sitting across me and she was just crying and there were just tears. Copious tears were flowing down.” When he asked DP what happened, she didn’t know what to say to him. “She’s like ‘I don’t know’. I got up and went to her and I was like tell me. The reason I remember that vividly is because it was that moment where I felt completely helpless.”

Deepika said that it has been a journey and that she is still on medication and there are tough days too. “It’s work every day.” She added Ranveer Singh created a safe space for her and said, “It told me a lot about the person that he is.” ALSO READ: Koffee With Karan 8: Karan Johar TEARS UP after watching Deepika Padukone - Ranveer Singh's wedding video: "I am not in a relationship..."

A lot of Bollywood films have re-released off late but when it comes to Hollywood, a handful of classics have had a re-run in cinemas.

‘I lied to get the part’: Melvyn Hayes on his ‘angry young man’ beginnings – and It Ain’t Half Hot Mum

-
He was tipped to be the next Richard Burton – but ended up as crossdressing Gunner Gloria in the now controversial sitcom. As his breakthrough classic returns to the screen, Hayes looks back One day in 1957, Melvyn Hayes was on the set of a film called Woman in a Dressing Gown when a man sat down next to him. “I was getting paid £5 a day and I’d been on location for three days,” the actor recalls. “All I had to do was walk up to a house and put a newspaper through a letterbox. That was my part. Finished. I said to this bloke, ‘I can’t believe the waste of money on this film. Take me. You could have got a newspaper boy on £1 a day to do what I’m doing.’ Then I said, ‘What do you do then, you lazy bugger?’ And he said, ‘I’m the producer.’” Hayes, now 89, giggles at the memory of the cheek of himself at 23. Back then, £5 a day was a decent whack. His first job in showbiz, in the early 1950s, was as assistant to The Great Masoni, a magician who tasked Hayes with “disappearing twice daily...

The Portable Door review – Harry Potter-ish YA fantasy carried by hardworking cast

-
Jeffrey Walker’s adaptation of the young-adult fantasy novel retains its edge thanks to its performances, but gets stuck on the whole door thing Adapted from Tom Holt’s 2003 young-adult fantasy novel, this is a passable attempt at kickstarting a new Harry Potter-style franchise set in a fusty-quirky institution, dosed up with extra Gilliamesque grotesquery. Co-produced by the Jim Henson Company, the production design is poky and intense, and the cast – with Christoph Waltz and Sam Neill larking it up – give it their all. But amid all this clutter, it sometimes has trouble moving its story forward. The Portable Door has a nice conceit: the venerable London corporation of JW Wells & Co is responsible for engineering all the daily incidents of coincidence and serendipity that happen in urban life. Not that wet-behind-the-ears intern Paul Carpenter (Patrick Gibson), desperate for any gig, knows the company’s raison d’etre when he signs up. He appears to have no discernible talents wh...
