I know, the SRK ranking posts are well-nigh impossible. This is a simple one that came out of the discussions we are having on my earlier post about the DDLJ type of love story. It got me thinking about other kind of love stories and I am honestly curious which people like best.
Continue readingAnother Tamil film! One I completely liked, unlike 96 which has me a little more back and forth.
Continue readingThis post was originally inspired by Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, but then it went in a more general turn, a discussion of the very best kind of romance which shows both characters growing and changing.
Continue readingThe best to worst romance films post was hard, you ready for a real challenge? Hottest to least hot SRK. Can you accept this challenge of objective judgments?
Continue readingThis is a very well-made movie. And confirms my feeling that Trisha is secretly a brilliant actress, as good as Parvathy, but less likely to be given really good roles (partly because the Tamil industry just isn’t as good for female characters as the Malayalam). And also confirms my feeling that Vijay Sethupathi was put on this earth for women who like big natural bodies and sensitive souls. Oh, and this is a very VERY long review, once I get into the SPOILERS section. Watch out!
Continue readingI’m including this on Wednesday Malayalam, because PRITHVIRAJ! In one of his greatest roles. Or at least most shirtless roles.
Continue readingI feel like I should throw a bone to my SRK readers. Plus, this is just a fun discussion topic!
Continue readingI think this might be the first Malayalam review I ever wrote. Either first or second. So, before reposting, I did some adding and subtracting and improving.
Continue readingHappy Day before Valentine’s Day! And day after Lincoln’s Birthday!!!! Such a glorious celebratory week.
Continue readingFinally an SRK film! And also an older film, meaning before the past 10 years. Somehow I started off with a bunch of new stuff.
Continue readingI would say “why didn’t anyone tell me how good this movie is?”, but then there have been people screaming at me in the comments to watch it for months now, so I can’t really say that. Anyway, it’s good! Really good! Running Shaadi good (my gold standard for overlooked brilliant little rom-coms).
Continue readingWell, this is a remarkable film! It’s actually a lot deeper than I expected, reminded me of Jab Harry Met Sejal more than anything. One of those movies that is less a love story and more a story of two lost souls helping each other be found.
Continue readingI wouldn’t bother with this trailer if it were just another Amitabh revenge thriller type thing, but it’s produced by Red Chillies, which adds on another layer of interest.
Continue readingOh boy, fun post! And one that I definitely need your help with, because there are just so many romantic songs out there.
Continue readingThe sleeper hit of 2017, that would have been a straight up hit-hit in 2018. Great cast, great script, good songs but they were cut down too much.
Continue readingThis is a combo repost, it starts out with the academic-y discussion, and then ends with a fun quiz. You’ve seen both of these posts before, but I thought it would be a nice beginning for our Week o’ Romance.
Continue readingSometimes I really hate media. This is being sold as “Alia-Kangana Feud Heats Up!”, but really it is just Kangana making wild insane (literally) accusations and Alia trying not to deal with it. Exactly like the Hrithik situation, which was sold as “Hrithik-Kangana Break-Up Goes Bad!” instead of “Hrithik Roshan is Victimized by a Stalker”.
Continue readingHappy Monday! I have such a fun busy week, supposed to see ELKDTAL with friends tonight or tomorrow, then on Weds. a friend I haven’t seen in a long time is coming over, Thurs. is my annual Valentine’s Party, and Friday is Gully Boy (yaaaay!).
Continue readingSuch a pleasant little movie! A painless way to start off our week o’ romance.
Continue readingEmily posted a link to a really interesting article about how the Gully Boy soundtrack was put together by multiple musicians with every song different (article here). That got me to listen to the soundtrack and go “wow, every song IS different!” And that got me to want to write this post, where I go into the musicians behind each song.
Continue readingHappy Valentine’s Week!!!!! I already did part one (here), and it got one pity comment from my sister and very few views, but I don’t care, this is my Valentine’s present to myself. So I’m doing Part 2 anyway!
Continue readingHappy Valentine’s Week! All romance posts, all the time, all week. Well, plus the Monday and Wednesday discussion posts, and maybe box office, and a news post if something really remarkable happens. But mostly romance! And to start it off, one of the best romance films of modern times.
Continue readingI did it! Not only did I do it, I did it and then I put the dirty dishes in the dishwasher when it was all over! Truly, I am a SuperWoman.
Continue readingWell, it’s only 5 days to Valentine’s, and I only have a handful of cards to mail!!! What is happening? Does no one like beautiful original Indian movie themed greeting cards any more? If you want a card, just speak up and let me know!
Continue readingHappy Saturday! I am busy busy busy all day. But good busy, interesting busy.
