Supergirl movie review: Milly Alcock’s flair and spunk are undone by two Kryptonites – bad writing and soulless fun

Supergirl movie review: Milly Alcock’s flair and spunk are undone by two Kryptonites – bad writing and soulless fun

Published by Parlour News

Supergirl Director: Craig Gillespie Cast: Milly Alcock, Matthias Schoenaerts, Eve Ridley, David Krumholtz, Emily Beecham, Jason Momoa, and David Corenswet Rating: ★★.5 If there was any doubt about Milly Alcock’s calibre to hold her own on the screen after House of the Dragon, Supergirl dismisses that completely. This film is her vehicle, her launch, and her playground. The young actor does everything in her power to shoulder this superhero adventure, but is ultimately let down by a wafer-thin plot, a villain who inspires neither awe nor fear, and an overall lack of soul. Yet, true to James Gunn’s DCU, Supergirl is fun, even if that fun remains hollow for the most part. Supergirl movie review: Milly Alcock stars in this DCU adventure. What is Supergirl’s plot? Kara Zor-el, Superman’s cousin, is awaiting her 23rd birthday. While Clark has found roots in Metropolis and protects Earth, Kara travels with her dog, Krypto, to planets with red suns to get drunk. Her pub crawl introduces her to Ruthye Marye Knoll, a young girl whose family has been …

Ashwin highlights defining difference between Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma: ‘Centre stage vs effortless flair’

Ashwin highlights defining difference between Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma: ‘Centre stage vs effortless flair’

Published by Parlour News

R Ashwin offered a sharp reading of two of Indian cricket’s biggest batting personalities on JioHotstar ahead of the Mumbai Indians’ IPL 2026 opener against the Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium. With Virat Kohli having already opened the season in commanding style for Royal Challengers Bengaluru a night earlier, and Rohit Sharma stepping back into the spotlight for Mumbai, Ashwin’s comparison carried more weight than routine pre-match chatter. Kohli had just made an unbeaten 69 off 38 balls in RCB’s six-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad, while Rohit was preparing to begin another season in which his role, intent and method remain central to Mumbai’s batting identity. Rohit Kohli for Mumbai Indians and Virat Kohli for Royal Challengers Bengaluru. (AFP/PTI) Ashwin’s statement captured the difference in how the two have long approached T20 batting. “Look, I think contrasting personalities in many ways. Virat loves to make those runs. He wants to be the center stage. He wants to do things in a certain way. While Rohit is slightly different, he loves to be a …

The Raja Saab movie review: Prabhas’ one liners, brief moments of flair cannot save this unhinged mess

Published by Parlour News

The Raja Saab Cast: Prabhas, Sanjay Dutt, Warina Zahab, Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, Riddhi Kumar Director: Maruthi Rating: ★★ Before the release of Maruthi’s The Raja Saab, the audience was promised grandeur, humour, romance, and a touch of magic. Unfortunately for the Prabhas-starrer, whenever it makes an attempt at the above-mentioned romance, it tests your patience. The humour works in bits and pieces. And the less said about grandiosity and magic, the better. The ‘horror comedy romance’ never reaches its full potential after making you sit through an over-3-hour-long film. The Raja Saab movie review: Prabhas plays the titular role in the Maruthi horror comedy. (Follow The Raja Saab release live updates here) The Raja Saab story Raju, aka the titular Raja Saab (Prabhas) has only one love of his life despite what the women around him seem to think – his grandmother, Ganga Devi (Zarina Wahab).

As a player, PR Sreejesh never stopped smiling, and shouting instructions at his teammates on the field. Now as the junior India coach, he is as animated from the sidelines and remains fun-loving. But for the goalkeeping great, the challenge is to maintain a balance. “I am strict with them. This age of 18, 19 and 20 is very dangerous. They are like a monkey mind and keep jumping here and there,” Sreejesh chuckles. “Sometimes, they are not bothered about what is required and will focus more on shopping or going out rather than resting. So, when the session happens, I demand their best. They can come and ask me anything. I show them the fun side also but when it comes to hockey, I am serious.” Sreejesh was talking to The Indian Express on the sidelines of the centenary celebrations of Indian Hockey.

‘The flair he had on both sides of the wicket is pretty cool’: Alyssa Healy on Virat Kohli | Cricket News

Published by Webster

One of the most productive shots of Virat Kohli through his career has been his glorious cover drive. However, while it has given him a lot of runs, it was also where he has had his troubles against throughout nicking those deliveries on the fourth and fifth stump line. In the recent tour to Australia, all his dismissals were identical. He flapped his bat around a delivery near his off-stump, which he edged to the keeper, and got himself out. “To be brave enough and drive those balls on the up is going to get you in trouble every now and then, but you’ve got to counter-attack as well. If you get it right, it puts it back on the bowler. But yeah, when he was unbelievably still at the crease, his head did not move. He looked so difficult to remove, and the flair he had on both sides of the wicket is pretty cool,” Alyssa Healy said, speaking on the LiSTNR Sport podcast. “Funnily enough, Mitch actually liked bowling to him because he …

A scene from the play Yogi Mattu. | Photo Credit: HARSHUL B Punaha, a theatre company based in Udupi is bringing its latest production Yogi Mattu Bhogi for the first time to Bengaluru this week, starting with a show on February 6 at Bangalore International Centre (BIC), Domlur at 7 p.m. Directed by renowned writer, playwright and actor Mahesh Dattani, the play is an adaptation of the 7th-century play, Bhagavadajjukam (Sanskrit, ‘Bhagavat’ – hermit; ‘Ajjuka’ – harlot), also known in English as The Ascetic and The Courtesan. According to the synopsis, this play is one of the oldest surviving plays in Sanskrit literature, it is a fine example of a ‘prahasana’, or farce. Layered in witty exchanges about dharma, it is centered around the transmigration of souls between the two titular characters leading to confusion and chaos for the supporting characters who have no answer to the absurdity of it all, said the synopsis.  Yogi Mattu Bhogi comes alive when the classic Sanskrit text and the physicality of theatre gel seamlessly with the traditional dance theatre form from …
