Primitive War review – it’s Green Berets vs dinosaurs in cheerfully cheesy Vietnam war gorefest

-
Set to an on-the-nose soundtrack of Creedence Clearwater, an elite squad of soldiers are suitably unprepared for their large-toothed assailants in this jungle thriller Aimed squarely and unabashedly at viewers who love soldiers, gore and dinosaurs – as well as dinosaurs goring soldiers – this adaptation of Ethan Pettus’s 2017 novel is deeply repetitive but weirdly watchable. Although shot in Australia with a mostly Australian cast sprinkled with a few American actors, it’s supposed to be set in Vietnam in the late 1960s as the US armed forces take on the Viet Cong. But there are other forces to contend with, and we don’t just mean covert Chinese or Soviet operatives, although the latter do feature significantly here. It turns out a nefarious scientific experiment by one of the aforementioned factions has accidentally ushered a whole army of dinosaurs into the jungle and they’ve begun gaily munching their way through anyone who gets in their way. When one squad of Green Berets go miss...

CBFC passes Madgaon Express with U/A certificate; asks makers to ‘suitably modify’ semi-nude shots and visuals of cleavage

-

The comic caper Madgaon Express is all set to release this Friday, March 22 and its hilarious trailer caught the attention of movie buffs. The film is significant as it marks the directorial debut of actor Kunal Kemmu. Starring Pratik Gandhi, Divyenndu, Avinash Tiwary and Nora Fatehi, the film’s censor process was completed on time. In this exclusive report, we’ll report on the changes asked by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) before handing over the certificate.

As per the cut list, the Examining Committee of the CBFC asked the makers – Excel Entertainment – to ‘suitably modify’ visuals of cleavage in the second half. They similarly asked the producers to ‘suitably modify’ the visual of semi-nude girls that occurs in the first half of Madgaon Express. Then, at the beginning of the film, a foul word can be seen in the backdrop. This cuss word was asked to be removed. The film also went through audio cuts. Certain cuss words were used and they were replaced with acceptable terms.

Lastly, the CBFC instructed the producers of Madgaon Express to insert lengthy disclaimers that the movie is a piece of fiction and that they don’t intend to disrespect any community, city, state, class, community, region etc. A second disclaimer, warning that consumption and trafficking of narcotics drugs and psychotropic substances is prohibited by law was also added. An anti-drug ticker was also incorporated in the drug-related scenes. The film is a story of three guys who go to Goa and get involved with dangerous criminals. Drugs form an important plot point, as evident from the trailer as well.

Once these changes were done, the producers of Madgaon Express were handed over the censor certificate. The length of the film, as mentioned on the certificate, is 144 minutes. In short, Madgaon Express is 2 hours and 24 minutes long.

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

-
Laura Linney is upstaged by older co-stars Smith and Kathy Bates in this sentimental tale about a group of Dublin women who go on a spiritual journey together Who’s up for a golden-hued heartwarmer set in 60s Ireland starring Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith about women with secret fears and dreams going on a church trip to Lourdes and finally finding the real miracle is their new compassion for each other? The answer to this question could well have been … me. I have a liking for a gentle tale and there is nothing necessarily wrong with, just occasionally, showing Ireland and the church of this period with something other than outrage and horror. But The Miracle Club does not at any time, to use a discredited metaphor, throw away its crutches and walk. And it’s painful to note that this is largely because of the way film can’t convincingly use that estimable actor Laura Linney in a central role. She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...
