» Japanese anime, a genre loved by many, has taken the world by storm, especially over the past few years. And with Star Wars being a pop-culture phenomenon and one of the biggest sci-fi franchises on the planet, some may have wondered how an non-American-made computer-animated Star Wars movie besides The Clone Wars (2008) and The Bad Batch (2021) would look.

The film reimagines the events of how an archaeologist embarks on the historically significant excavation of Sutton Hoo in the late 1930s, the grave of an Anglo-Saxon king. While at distance, the film may look beautiful and features a parade of well-known performers such as Carey Mulligan, Ralph Fiennes and Lily James, the film somewhat suffers from the lack of focus and good execution.

» The Extraordinary Journey Of The Fakir isn't really an Indian film, nor is Ken Scott an Indian director. He is actually a Canadian director who was known from his previous work in Delivery Man (2013) and Unfinished Business (2015) -- now making an attempt at creating a new eclectic comedy film that mixes Bollywood and Hollywood styles. Although with all the good intentions and interesting combinations, the result is still somewhat mediocre.
