Anaconda movie review: Paul Rudd, Jack Black film is all hiss, hardly any bite | Movie-review News

Anaconda movie review: Help, the ssssnake is back. Not just any old wriggly creature, but the giant anaconda, which is out hunting humans again in the jungles of South America. Those who’ve seen the 1997 original, starring Jennifer Lopez-Owen Wilson-Jon Voight-Ice Cube and the reptile with a monstrous maw, will remember just how scary it was. The relentless chase– this is a snake which hunts in water, over land, and on tall tree-tops– was all kinds of scary with people falling off boats, thrashing in the jaws of the snake, turning the water bloody. This one is ‘not’ a reboot. We’re not saying this. It is Doug McAllister (Jack Black), a Buffalo-based failed filmmaker-turned-video producer, who keeps calling it a spiritual sequel, just in case we didn’t get the first time. Arrayed alongside are Doug’s childhood friends– Ronald Griffin aka Griff (Paul Rudd) still struggling to land parts in movies, amateur cinematographer Kenny Trent (Steve Zahn) and mom-of-two Claire Simons (Thandiwe Newton)– who were once bright-kids-with-a-movie-camera. Now adults, and far from intrepid, they set out …

Vadodara: Sayajibaug Zoo loses its lone lioness to Cobra bite | Ahmedabad News

Published by Parlour News

Vadodara’s Sayajibaug Zoo on Friday lost its six-year-old lioness Samriddhi –  five days after she was injured in a deadly fight with an Indian Cobra that had slithered into her cage on Monday evening. Samriddhi, who had pounced with all her might at the cobra and grievously injured it, succumbed to venom toxicity from the cobra’s bites that landed mostly on her face during the encounter. While teams of the Sayajibaug zoo attended to Samriddhi round the clock since Monday evening, the mighty lioness suffered a seizure on Friday evening and bid adieu to her home of five years. Samriddhi’s death has left Vadodara’s iconic zoo without a lion – her partner Samrat had passed away at the age of two-and-a-half-years due to a chronic kidney ailment in September 2022 and the zoo’s 15-year-old lion king, Kunwar, had passed away a month later due to injuries sustained in the enclosure. Since then, Samriddhi had been the lone lioness in the zoo, attracting visitors. Samriddhi passing away comes just two days after the zoo delightfully announced …
