The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep review – gore flows in bloody animated mer-western

-
Lovejoyish dude with magical powers wanders into a seaside kingdom where merpeople and regular humans are at loggerheads This animated feature is part of the larger Witcher fantasy franchise which started with short stories by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski and has evolved to survive on all manner of platforms, from video games and comics to live-action TV series and films. Thanks to the wealth of wiki knowledge out there, you can get the gist pretty quickly. There’s a dude with magical powers, fearsome pectorals (and the platinum hair of a Finnish metal band lead singer) named the Witcher, AKA Geralt (voiced here by Doug Cockle); he wanders around a medieval-ish countryside battling monsters, partly for hire and partly out of the goodness of his own gruff heart. He’s like a ronin or a knight or TV-show amateur detective of the Lovejoy vintage, but with a sword. Geralt’s wisecracking sidekick Jaskier (Joey Batey) is cowardly and comical, and plays a lute-like instrument on which he p...

The Sloth Lane review – slow-cooking tale of rebellious teen sloth in vegan animal paradise

-
A teenager who works in the sloth’s family restaurant seeks life in the fast-food lane in this bland animated adventure The idea of a kids’ animation about sloths – those shaggy balls of furry happiness with mellow stoner smiles – feels like a winner. But, disappointingly, the sloths in this kids’ animation don’t look much like sloths, nor do they seem to act anything like their real-life counterparts. The movie is the latest from The Tales from Sanctuary City , an Australian franchise set in a vegan metropolis where animals have learnt to coexist in harmony. Like the earlier movies in the series, it’s perfectly adequate for little kids but with little character of its own and a straight-to-download-style blandness. Essentially, this is a film about foodies and the delights of slow cooking. Laura (voiced by Teo Vergara) is a rebellious teenage sloth from the sticks who works in the family restaurant, cooking recipes handed down for generations. But Laura longs to live at a faster pa...

Anubhav Sinha makes shocking confession about not talking to Ajay Devgn for 18 years; says, “He just doesn’t speak to me and I have no idea why”

-
Anubhav Sinha, who recently made his web-series debut with the power-packed IC814: Kandahar Hijack, recalled his memories about Cash which featured an ensemble cast including Ajay Devgn. The filmmaker revealed that ever since the release of the year, almost two decades ago, the Bollywood superstar has never spoken to Sinha. However, he also insisted that they have never had a fight or showdown. In an interview with Lallantop, Anubhav Sinha insisted that he has not been in touch with Ajay Devgn and said, “We have never fought. He just doesn’t speak to me and I have no idea why. Since the making of Cash, we haven’t even met for me to tell you he ignored me or something. So, maybe, it’s just me overthinking. However, I did text him a couple of times, and never received a response, so I told to myself that maybe it slipped his mind or he must have missed my message. But, it’s been about 18 years since we have spoken.” The Ra.One filmmaker went on to share that he assumes that some of his...
