The Thicket review – Peter Dinklage is a bounty hunter in harsh western with unusual chill

-
Peter Dinklage and Juliette Lewis star in a horse opera set in a snowbound world of bars, brothels and wide open spaces Here is a western starring Peter Dinklage, but forget hot sun-baked gullies and leather-skinned cowboys riding sweatily through rattlesnake country. The Thicket takes place in a hard, snowbound wilderness interspersed with equally hard, snowbound little townships consisting mainly of bars and brothels. You can see the breath in the air and the blood on the snow. The plot is staple horse opera: a kidnapped maiden must be rescued by a motley group of good-ish guys with mixed motives, headed up by Dinklage playing a bounty hunter character offering a similar vein of dry, world-weary cynicism as his breakthrough role as Tyrion in Game of Thrones, only much less aristocratic. He is joined by Gbenga Akinnagbe as his right hand man, with whom Dinklage has nice chemistry, and Levon Hawke, as a naive young Christian whose sister has been kidnapped by ruffians. The ruffians a...

Ankita Lokhande gets mobbed post Bigg Boss 17 finale; watch

-

Ankita Lokhande received quite a bit of support from her fans as she returned to television as the contestant of the much-talked about and controversial reality show Bigg Bos 17. While the popular actress was expected to be a winner or runner-up ever since her entry into the house considering her popularity and the impactful drama which revolved her and her husband Vicky Jain in the BB House but the actress shocked everyone by acquiring the fourth spot among the top 5 finalists. After the winner was declared as Munawar Faruqui, Lokhande was seen exiting the premises but ended up getting mobbed.

In a video shared by the paparazzo account, Ankita Lokhande was exiting the Bigg Boss house after being locked in there for almost four months almost around midnight on Monday. While she was excited to return home to her family, she was perplexed with a mob surrounding her. Although the actress maintained her peace by asking everyone around her to ‘calm around’, soon she was seen getting upset after the mob failed to die down. However, she managed to make her way through them. Have a look at the video:

While some fans accused Bigg Boss of being rigged and ‘fixing winners’, a few others said, ‘Ankita tum deserve karti thi’. One of the fans even went on to add, “The craze for her because she refused to do interviews (family first priority)”.

It is a known fact that her exit left everyone including her family, friends, and even the host Salman Khan in shock, since they were expecting her to walk away with the trophy. However, although Ankita turned a tad bit teary after her elimination, she held on to her strong avatar and expressed her happiness after receiving Vicky and her rest of her family who attended the show to showcase their support.

‘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...
