The Underdoggs Review – It’s a Snoop Dogg Show
The 2024 sports comedy “The Underdoggs” starring Snoop Dogg begins with the following disclaimer –
“The following movie is R-rated for strong language that may not be suitable for children. But fuck that. You know as well as I do that the kids who aren’t supposed to be watching this shit curse more than the rest of us motherfuckers”
Directed by Charles Stone III, the film starts with a fun flashback sequence of protagonist Jaycen “Two Js” Jennings (Snopp Dogg) recalling his rise to fame as a football star. But now he is just a washed up ex-player whose agent won’t even return his calls. So when he is sentenced to community service for speeding, Jaycen sees his shot at redemption by coaching a bunch of poor kids in his childhood neighborhood.
“The Underdoggs” is very formulaic, and very similar to Kevin James’ “Home Team”, which came out two years before it and is about a professional football coach training his son’s 6th grade team after he is suspended for a year. However, while the kids stole Kevin James’ thunder in “Home Team” with their performances, “The Underdoggs” is a Snoop Dogg show all the way. Snoop Dogg looks like he had a lot of fun playing Jaycen in this film, smoothly portraying an arrogant ex-player who curses at everyone and is dismissive of the kids he’s supposed to coach, labeling them as losers. He consistently puts them down until he has a change of heart, genuinely committing to helping them become winners. Jaycen stands out throughout the runtime dues to his flashy clothes, gold colored flashy car, and of-course, his long dreadlocks. “He looks like Princess Leiah,” a character hilariously observes when Jaycen shows up with his hair tied up in buns. So while the movie does have a lot of funny moments, it also gets repetitive and boring eventually.
This is basically the kind of film you can casually watch while doing other things, it doesn’t need your entire attention, so after about thirty minutes into “The Underdoggs”, I started to pack my bags while watching it. It’s forgettable, but kind of entertaining for half its runtime.

“The New Look” Episode 4 Review
Sneha Jaiswal (Twitter | Instagram)
“You can’t possibly allow this man, this tormentor, this vampire to stifle your talents any longer! I need you by my side.”
I think this is my favorite dialogue from “The New Look” episode 4, where Pierre Balmain, an unknown designer at the time, quits his job under French couturier Lucien Lelong and encourages his friend/colleague Christian Dior to do the same, berating the man who was his boss a few seconds ago, right to his face.
Episode 3 of “The New Look” had ended with the Americans marching victoriously through the streets of Paris, making the end of World War II and Nazi defeat. Titled “What a Difference”, episode 4 begins with jubilant celebrations, with Coco Chanel (Juliette Binoche) and her friends drinking champagne, toasting to Paris and freedom. However, soon, Coco must also face the ordeal of being accused of being a Nazi collaborator and the repercussions that come with it. Meanwhile, Christian Dior (Ben Mendelsohn) is tormented by thoughts of Catherine, his dear sister, who ends up in a Nazi camp, and he has no means of knowing her fate. His boss Lucien Lelong (John Malkovich) comes up with a unique plan to revive French fashion, and he hopes Dior would lead with his designs, while Balmain expects Dior to quit with him and start a new venture together.
Juliette Binoche is ridiculously good as Coco Chanel, and with the war over, the character gets to be more flamboyant than before, even though she does try to be guarded with what she says, give her run in with Nazi officers. “I don’t want to be put on a pedestal. There’s my work; people should judge that,” she says when asked for an interview, refusing to be featured in print, lest her words be distorted.
Ben Mendelsohn portrays Dior as a much more disoriented figure in this edition, reflecting his character’s state of mind. He feels defeated for his inability to rescue his sister, and his condition worsens when his father further berates him for failing to prevent Catherine from joining the French resistance. Despite Balmain’s animosity towards their boss, Lucien Lelong emerges as a strong mentor-like figure for Dior. John Malkovich’s portrayal of Lelong is quietly imposing, he is an aging no-nonsense businessman, whose primary focus might be profit, but he also endeavors to provide guidance to the lost Dior.
The cinematography features a dynamic blend of different palettes, with sepia tones predominantly used in indoor scenes. This imparts a nostalgic, old-world feel to the film. It’s an evenly paced episode, which briefly gives viewers glimpses of how “collaborators” were shamed, shaved bald, and then paraded on the streets to be spat on. Both Coco and Dior are faced with different challenges, and with six more episodes to go, it’s going to be interesting to see how “The New Look” continues to maintain this pace, tension, and intrigue.

Flight Review – Lets Logic Crash in Pieces
“I build planes, not fly them!”
Ranveer Malhotra, the hero of the 2021 movie “Flight,” exclaims at one point in the film. However, within a few minutes, he isn’t just flying the plane, but also attempting precision landing on an exact spot, a task even pilots with hours of training would find challenging.
Directed by Suraj Joshi, “Flight” is supposed to be a tense survival drama, but is packed with lots of ill-timed jokes and nonsensical dialogues, so it’s like a comedic thriller and is ludicrously bad at times. The plot follows Aviation magnate Ranveer Malhotra (Mohit Chadda), who decides to investigate a crash involving his firm’s plane, and when he learns the truth, he becomes victim of an hijacking attempt by his enemies. So the rest of the story follows Ranveer’s attempts to save himself from dying mid-air.
While Mohit Chadda ranges from engaging to annoying as protagonist Ranveer, the rest of the supporting cast gets very little space to leave a strong impression on the viewer. Basically, “Flight” is a mindless entertainer, where lots of logic defying things are happening and the hero has the luck of a God. For example, an explosion that should’ve ensured his death, does little damage to him. And Ranveer dude is so cocky (or extremely stupid) that he wastes precious seconds making lame jokes and flirting, when he is finally able to make an emergency call to help him through the situation. Time and Ranveer’s plane moves according to the director’s whim in “Flight”.
The climactic twist is ridiculous, and unwittingly hilarious, and given its modest budget, the special effects are pretty engaging. Depending on your mood, “The Flight” might either leave you amused and in splits or just make you feel like you ruined your day.
Rating: 3 on 10. You can watch “Flight” on Prime Video and Jio Cinema.

Lost On Planet Earth Review – A+ Art, Lost Plot
Sneha Jaiswal (Twitter | Instagram)
Set in 2381, the comic series “Lost On Planet Earth” by Magdalene Visaggio, Claudia Aguirre is so far in the future that, if it weren’t for all the aliens and intergalactic space stuff, you’d think it’s set in the 1920s. Because the morality and attitudes in the story are pretty old-school and regressive, despite the story not being dystopian in nature. At one point, the protagonist’s mother says, “it’s not like anybody needs a job in this day and age,” meaning the world has progressed far enough for people to just do their thing and not worry about working hard to feed themselves. There seems to be no hunger, or poverty on the planet. But despite that, everybody is lining up to join the ‘fleet force,’ marry, have kids, settle down, and then retire into the sunset. Because the fleet pays well.
Divided into five chapters, “Lost on Planet Earth” follows Basil Miranda, an exceptionally brilliant student who works round the clock on her grades and hopes to become the youngest captain in the fleet. However, on the day of her fleet exam, she panics and runs out before finishing the test, deciding to throw her lifelong dreams away, realizing they weren’t really her own. Basil then befriends an alien and goes on a journey to discover what she really wants, learning some life lessons the hard way.
I really liked the bright, sparkly artwork in this comic series, however, after the first three chapters, it became exceedingly difficult to keep my interest up in the story. Even a nice cup of coffee couldn’t stop me from feeling disinterested and sleepy while reading the glossy, prettily drawn pages of “Lost on Planet Earth”. The plot just didn’t work for me, the themes and settings were inconsistent and all over the place. For example, despite being set in a seemingly progressive future, queer relationships are looked down upon, male superiors are prone to harassing their female juniors, and people are expected to be married if they want to rise in military rankings. But at the same time, alien and human relationships aren’t frowned upon. What is even happening?
It’s not like I have anything against science-fiction and intergalactic tales, I really enjoyed reading “Mariko Between Worlds” by Matthew Erman and Liana Kangas, an outlandish romance between a human girl and a blue alien. However, “Lost On Planet Earth” is a bland confusing mess, fortunately, it’s got great artwork.
Rating: 2 on 5. “Lost on Planet Earth” is also on Kindle Unlimited.

The Ghost – Short Horror Film Review
Sneha Jaiswal (Twitter | Instagram)
12-year-old Clarice Cheung loves to play hockey and often gets lost in her own little world, which leads to a lot of fights with her older sister. But one day, when a ghost begins to target Clarice’s home, she finally realizes the importance of family.
Created by Erica Eng and Kevin Jihyek Park, “The Ghost” is a twenty-minute short horror film that simplistically explores the themes of family dynamics. Hana Marie Kim portrays hockey enthusiast Clarice Cheung, while Andie Ju takes on the role of the older ‘responsible’ sister, Naomi Cheung, who is preparing to leave for college and expects Clarice to become more attentive to their parents in her absence. The sisters’ strained relationship inadvertently awakens an evil spirit in the house. (I mean, I am guessing, ghosts feed of negative energy right? It’s just a theory)
Honestly, “The Ghost” feels like a moral lesson disguised as a ‘horror’ tale for kids and teens in their rebellious phase. It’s not scary; instead, it’s unwittingly funny (or it could be deliberate) in some scenes. For instance, there’s a scene where the lights go out in Clarice’s house, and they light up a 100 candles (not even kidding) around the house, which made me question if my family was simply poor, because we would light literally one candle on the rare occasions when the power went out when we were kids. Even fancy candlelight dinners don’t feature the number of candles the Cheungs put up in this film. So, that scene made me crack up a bit.
Except for the power-cut scene, the writers refrain from incorporating any clichéd horror tropes, so there are no sudden jump scares or jarring screams to startle viewers. I like how the ‘ghost’ isn’t drowning in ghastly makeup and bizarre special effects; instead, the filmmakers rely on lighting techniques and eerie music to create the supernatural ambiance. Actors Hana Marie Kim and Andie Ju deliver convincing performances as bickering sisters, although their portrayal is slightly shaky in confrontational scenes.
Overall, “The Ghost” is a quick family-friendly horror film which packs in a neat little message at the end. So, it’s worth a watch.
You can stream the short film on Disney Hotstar.

This Is Me… Now Review – JLO Just Wings This Madcap Musical
Sneha Jaiswal (Twitter | Instagram)
“I know, you feel like nobody gets you”
“I don’t even get me”
And that’s probably the most honest exchange that takes place in “This Is Me… Now”, where Jennifer Lopez’s character admits she doesn’t even understand herself. She basically sums up what she was trying to do with this musical – whatever she feels like, albeit cluelessly.
It’s a good thing that it’s only one hour long, because “This Is Me… Now” is like a long extravagant album ad, with a whole lot of singing and dancing, with a few dialogues strung in between to give it the ‘movie’ tag. If you really must know what the plot is – Jennifer Lopez AKA JLo plays a character simply known as ‘the artist’, who is constantly rushing into relationships. After three divorces, her therapist fires her (yes, that can happen, happened to somebody I know), and her friends try to hold an intervention to give her a reality check. So she introspects and goes on the path of ‘self-love’.
If you’ve seen the trailer for “This Is Me… Now”, you may (or may not) remember that the teaser said “from the dreams of Jennifer Lopez”… and they weren’t kidding, this film is a string of crazy dreams JLo has and she talks about them to her therapist. The film opens with a Puerto Rican legend about two star-crossed lovers called Alida and Taroo, who belonged to warring tribes. It’s a nice tale so I’ll leave the details in case you decide to watch the film.
JLo narrates the story and then ends by saying how all she wanted to do in life was to “be in love.” The narration is done over a string of beautiful paintings, by the way. You know, those multiverse digital drawings wherein a painting will have several paintings within it. And out of nowhere, JLo turns into a factory worker in a steam-punk themed factory which runs a giant metallic heart, which is powered by petals and the factory is out of petals, so it’s an emergency situation and they are all dancing to work their problems away…. are you still reading? Okay. It’s a musical, so dancing in any scene is supposed to be normal. Even when she is having a fight with her boyfriend.
If you’re wondering what big names like Jane Fonda, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Trevor Noah, Sofía Vergara, Sadhguru, and Post Malone are doing in the movie… well… wait for it… they are all celestial beings who are part of the Zodiacal council, so each of them represents a Zodiac Sign, and they watch over the artist, taking an unhealthy interest in her love life. It’s all like a long SNL sketch, some bits are funny, some not so much. Also, you have to be a JLo fan to spot all the references the script makes to her older songs and private life to enjoy some of the jokes. For instance, she watches a Barbara Streisand film after a break-up, mouthing dialogues like a pro, and she is a huge Barbara Streisand fan in real life too.
Jennifer Lopez looks fine as hell. She reminded me of Ariana Grande in some scenes where her hair is pulled back in Grande’s signature ponytail style, which is a huge compliment to Lopez, since she is over 20 years older than Grande. The dancing choreography is excellent for most parts, however, her songs are a mixed bag. Except for the track titled “Can’t Get Enough,” which is hilariously filmed over a montage of her three weddings, with her friends betting over her fate, none of the other songs are the kind that would make you hit pause and Shazam them.
While most songs at least made some sense within the thin plot, the climactic song, which should’ve been the crowning gem of her album, is called “This Is Me… Now.” The lyrics are about a woman talking about her husband and kids, yet she isn’t even married at that point in the film and has no kids (yeah, I know she is referring to her real self, but still). So, the climactic song was random AF, which is not much different from the rest of the runtime. Maybe watch her romantic-comedy “Marry Me” instead and just listen to all her new songs on YouTube.
“This Is Me…Now” is JLo telling fans, “I am still here, I am a hopeless romantic, I love myself, but I won’t stop looking for love and adulation outside of me.”
You can stream it on Prime Video.

The Delicacy Review – Food, Fame, Fallacies
Sneha Jaiswal (Twitter | Instagram)
Going by the book cover, I was expecting “Delicacy” to be one of those intense cooking-show like stories, where the chef runs the kitchen like an autocrat. Or maybe something intriguing about the world of fine-dining, like “The Menu”, which is about an exclusive restaurant on a remote island. And while “Delicacy” does have certain familiar ingredients, and even heads to a predictable (actually, I imagined something far more gruesome that what transpires, curse my ‘horror fan’ heart) climax, but it was a very entertaining read.
Created by James Albon, the plot follows brothers Rowan and Tulip, who are living a content idyllic life on a Scottish island with their mother, until an unexpected inheritance leads them to the mainland and big city dreams. I love how the first few pages of the book establish the easy affectionate relationship the brothers share, both supportive of each other’s ideas and dreams. So when Tulip, the younger brother who is a cook, decides to open a restaurant in London, Rowan agrees to grow fresh vegetables to supply to his brother’s venture in the house they acquire in the outskirts. The cutthroat culinary scene overwhelms them at first, but a special homegrown ingredient leads the brothers to the path of success, fame, obsession, conflict and tragedy. United by their dream to serve freshly made delicacies to London crowd, the brothers also find themselves divided by the same ambition which grows like a tumor in Tulip.
The artwork in this graphic novel is splendid, with colors and strokes that have a Van Gogh-like dreamy touch to them. There’s a lot of blues, yellows, and greens, however, as the plot progresses and the story becomes grimmer, the palette shifts to become gloomier and the illustrations are also morphed to become slightly nightmarish in nature. However, the art style also appears to be amateurish, perhaps deliberately so, with blurry detailing, so some readers might not be bowled over by the art. I really liked it.
“Delicacy” unfolds like a literary novel, first set in a beautiful Scottish island, where the brothers and their mother live a simple but content life. Their mother is passionately contemptuous of city folks, believing them to be morally degraded by money and fast life. So when her sons leave her for London dreams, she hopes they would tire of its pretentious facade soon enough and come running back home.
Almost 300 pages long, the graphic novel steadily changes pace, tone and tenor. “Delicacy” opens with a hopeful, energetic mood, where the young brothers are full of hopes for their new restaurant. Tulip is only able to afford a small establishment that’s almost on the edge of London, he struggles to muster up a staff to help run the place and once it’s up and running, there are days when close to no patron shows up. So the success takes its time to come to the brothers, but once Tulip tastes fame, there’s no turning back. From being a likable hardworking young lad, he transforms into a shallow, corrupt, neurotic, self-centered showman of sorts. Rowan continues to be a salt-of-the-earth kind of guy, who puts family above work, unlike his brother.
In “Delicacy,” James Albon delivers several twists, some of which take unexpectedly dark turns, setting the stage for a grim climax. Ultimately, the conclusion is tragic, yet it conveys a potent cautionary message about the dangers of unchecked ambition, where individuals may find themselves devoid of ethical constraints. The climax felt rushed, however, I really enjoyed reading this one!
Rating: 4 on 5. “Delicacy” is also available on Kindle Unlimited.

Einstein and the Bomb Review
Sneha Jaiswal (Twitter | Instagram) Click here for Audio Version
“The world is in greater peril from those who tolerate or encourage evil than from those who actually commit it” – Albert Einstein.
If there’s one thing the 2024 Netflix docu-drama “Einstein and the Bomb” does best, it’s establish Albert Einstein as the international rock star he was in the scientific community. “No living person deserves this sort of reception,” Einstein says at one point in this one hour sixteen minute-long film, while talking about how he was incessantly photographed and practically mobbed by the media around the world.
Don’t let the explosive title mislead you; “Einstein and the Bomb” isn’t so much about the physicist’s connection to the atomic bomb as it is about Einstein’s life after he had to flee Germany. However, the inclusion of “bomb” in the title does make it sound more exciting, especially given the renewed interest in the subject matter following the phenomenal success of Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” in 2023. In-fact, if you’ve seen “Oppenheimer”, you’ll also recognize the eerie similarity in the background music for both films – lots of dramatic piano pieces which heighten suspense and tension in several scenes.
“Einstein and the Bomb” begins with a disclaimer stating that all words spoken by Einstein throughout the runtime were either written or spoken by him during his lifetime, establishing their historical credibility. Actor Aidan McArdle plays Einstein, and he makes the scientist feel a lot more human, relatable and compassionate with his portrayal. A significant amount of archival video footage and photos are interspersed with dramatized recreations of Einstein’s experiences after leaving Germany. The creators ingeniously utilize existing footage to circumvent the need to shoot challenging scenes. For instance, they seamlessly blend actual footage of Einstein speaking at the Royal Albert Hall in 1933, addressing a crowd of 10,000 against Nazi policies, with Aidan’s portrayal of Einstein practicing his speech and nervously preparing for the event.
“If we want to resist the powers which threaten to suppress intellectual and individual freedom we must keep clearly before us what is at stake, and what we owe to that freedom which our ancestors have won for us after hard struggles.” – Einstein.
Ultimately, “Einstein and the Bomb” provides a riveting exploration of Einstein’s philosophies, primarily centered around his peaceful retreat to a quaint English cottage, away from the world’s scrutiny and Nazi persecution. Only the final twenty minutes or so delve into his tangential involvement with the atomic bomb and arms race. Despite being a vocal pacifist, Einstein was a practical man who believed that “only organized force can fight organized force.” This belief set him apart from pacifists like Mahatma Gandhi, whose bust adorns the physicist’s table in the film, symbolizing his ideological kinship with the revered Indian leader, who advocated for nonviolent resistance.
For those well-versed in Einstein’s life, this docudrama may not offer much in terms of new material. Nevertheless, the creators effectively convey the complex moral dilemmas and struggles Einstein grappled with as a celebrated man of science who had never considered his race or Jewish identity until the Nazis launched a malicious campaign to undermine his credibility in the scientific community. What I really liked about this film was the juxtaposition of Nazi Germany with the idyllic life Einstein led while in hiding in England (given the generous bounty on his head). In those moments, there’s a sense of peace as Einstein appears content outwardly, yet inwardly torn by the turmoil in the country he once called home, even when he could have chosen to remain insulated in his own bubble.
At one hour and sixteen minutes, “Einstein and the Bomb” is a well-woven homage to a brilliant mind. It concludes with Einstein’s poignant message to future generations: “Dear Posterity, If you have not become more just, more peaceful, and in general more sensible… then may the Devil take you!”

“Winston” Short Film Review – Frenzied & Tense
There’s a soft tick-tick like whirring in the background as the protagonist of the short horror film “Winston” begins to narrate letters he has been writing to his brother Marcus. They are desperate dispatches where Winston describes his descent into madness, even though he insists he is sane, although the cold harsh winter might be playing tricks with his mind.
Created by Aram Sarkisian and Gabby Capili, “Winston” is six-minutes long, a crisp little animated thriller that unfolds like Fyodor Doestovesky’s stream-of-consciousness device on film. Matt Kelly hauntingly voices Winston, vividly expressing the nuances of the character’s anxious, nervous nature, immediately pulling viewers into the disturbed mind of a paranoid man who might be losing his grip on reality.
The animation is sketch-like in nature, with a grim palette, and Winston appearing like a shadowy character, with a lean face and sunken blue eyes that have a permanent glint of anger and terror in them. The snow landscape and a constant howling of wind through most of the runtime adds a touch of madness to this tale, which despite its limited runtime captures a whole gamut of emotions.
It’s a riveting little film, which, as many viewers have already pointed out, echoes a very Edgar Allan Poe-like oeuvre and is perfect for horror fans.
Rating: 4 on 5.
