This seems like a thing that should exist, right? Romances that revolve around all the confusion of Valentine’s Day in India. And instead of getting sucked into just one story, I am going to quickly outline 14 different stories!
Continue readingThank you Filmilibrarian for this term/idea! By “fancy tax collector pants”, I mean the pants that Ajay wore in Raid, which were the standard office worker slacks, only very very very VERY well fitted.
Continue readingWell, Kangana is now publicly spiraling out. And the response is STILL “gee, so outspoken, so honest!” Well, at least from the comments and analysis on her pet site Pinkvilla, I think other sites are a wee bit more “this woman is crazy”.
Continue readingThanks to Claudia’s prodding, I am finally getting around to reviewing this! I really should have reviewed it ages ago, but I didn’t. But now I am! Better late than never.
Continue readingI am in the market for a dog, again, which is of course very sad because it means my previous dog is no longer with me (happened a while back, didn’t want to depress all of you). But on the other hand, dog photos!
Continue readingI am continuing my attempt to not let the weather get me down (I think I may need to pay gobs of money for last minute tickets to Florida or something. February in Chicago is REALLY REALLY HARD). So, here are news items that are completely unimportant and yet make me smile! Smile along with me!
Continue readingIt is just the worst weather right now outside my window. Overcast and mildly rainy, not even the excitement of a serious storm. Plus my windshield wipers stopped working this morning, which is also the kind of irritating-but-not-exciting version of car problems. It’s just bleh. So I am going to indulge myself with a post of songs that make me happy. And feel free to put your own “happy songs” recommendations in the comments!
Continue readingI don’t have a super lot to say about any of these stories, but maybe you will? Anyway, they are worth repeating.
Continue readingIt’s February, I’m grumpy. If you are in a similar state, I am here for you with sexy videos.
Continue readingThis is a very long and detailed review, as is appropriate for such a deep and complex movie. So, prepare yourself! Strap in for a lot of detail and discussion!
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! I hope you are as cozy and warm as I am this week. The horrible cold is over and now we are back to normal cold and thick blankets and hot baths and it is just a super nice end to the winter.
Continue readingWon’t this be fun? I’m gonna try not to over-promise, only 3 new (to me) movies, 4 new reviews, and lots and lots of reruns. And I give this list to you in advance, so you can have your only little romance fest if you want! Or just watch some of them and dip into those reviews. Or get generally pumped for Romance Week and remember how many of these you have seen and loved. Whatever! Oh, and you can also just save this list for later. They are all fun watches and super super romantic.
Continue readingI think there just hasn’t been much to comment on. Not that many people had time to go to the two new movies, the news reports aren’t super super exciting, and it’s not like anyone will want to comment on my most recent Hindi Film 101s (I don’t even want to comment on them). So, are you ready for something totally silly and fun and requiring no skill at all?
Continue readingWell, this makes me happy! The movie whose genre and style I like (happy family romance) beat the one whose genre and style I don’t like (historical violence), plus the movie I think is generally better made won out, plus the movie with people in it that I like better, plus plus plus! (numbers from bollywoodhungama)
Continue readingFun fun little stories, Prerna Arora’s continuing legal problems always cheer me up, plus other people are doing things.
Continue readingOnce again, I am running late. But this wasn’t a super interesting episode, so hopefully it won’t take me long to write it up.
Continue readingOops, I almost wrote “would you like a car”. Which would have gotten me in big trouble, because I can’t give you all cars! But I can give you all cards. Just give me your address here any time in the month of February, and I will give you a card.
Continue readingI watched the Luka Chuppi video before work, but the other two I have to go by descriptions and comments because I didn’t see them until later. Please watch them and tell me more about them! And also, that is why this is just a little post, not a big post.
Continue readingI’m back! To more depressing stuff! Be warned, this section starts with some hard hard stuff. But also important stuff, a reminder of why all this philosophy and discussion matters. And this will, once again, get people mad at me. But I’ve decided it is worth it (even though I hate it when people don’t like me). And if necessary, I can also close the comments.
Continue readingHappy Monday! I had a weird weekend, out way too long on Saturday, and then home way too much on Sunday, kind of forgot how to interact with humans.
Continue readingI put off writing this review, because I wanted to make sure I had enough time really say good things. Because this is a very good movie and it deserves a good smart review.
Continue readingI’m guessing about 90% of my readers have already seen this movie, but look at this as an excuse to watch it again! And if you are part of the 10%, you really really should. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like this movie.
Continue readingI’ve been planning to review this at some point, and then Claudia accidentally watched it last week because my “Bombay Talkie” announcement wasn’t clear, and I feel bad, so I might as well review it this week!
Continue readingFew views of my Rajiv Menon reposts and new review, don’t care, the movies are so good they make me feel good. And in the same spirit, I am pushing City of God on you all again. SO GOOD.
Continue readingI put off watching this for years, and then I finally did, and it was just as delightful and lovable and wonderful as I had heard, and the songs were even better in context.
