Happy Monday! I’m especially happy because I am still on vacation. Which also means that I might be slightly slow to respond to your questions today, but I will get to it eventually.
Continue readingThis is such a delightful little surprise of a movie! I really hope a lot of you were able to watch it. And if you weren’t, put it on your list to watch soon, because it is really wonderful.
Continue readingI was late for work on Thursday because I just had to stay home long enough to see how this thing ended. The original is only like 70 minutes and yet SO MUCH happens!!! I feel like it needs to be remade and given the 3 hour treatment it deserves. Also, I feel like Hindi film needs more sacrificial mothers rewarded with late in life romance main characters.
Continue readingIt’s world ocean day! So the google doodle tells me. And I am feeling lazy and need a second post to throw up, so let’s do this!
Read moreHappy Saturday! I have no clean clothes. So I will write this thingy, then throw on sort-of clothes and walk the dog, and drive to the laundromat.
Continue readingOh boy, another big controversial post! Or maybe not, no one is even commenting on yesterday’s post. Perhaps Salman just isn’t that controversial any more?
Continue readingThis is a rerun, but it’s a good one, and anyway I did an entire original one yesterday, the coffee to go with the donuts (read it here).
Continue readingHappy Friday! No new movie today (because of Bharat) which should give us loads of time to discuss this older movie.
Continue readingOh boy! The big controversial thing that is the first/only thing people think of with Salman! How fun for all of us to discuss it, and perhaps later be sued for libel.
Continue readingI’m sleeeeeeeeeeeeeepy. Was up until 1am last night writing Bharat reviews. And now it is really hard to get my brain to work. So I will do things that require no thought, and might also give me a shot of imaginary caffeine (no real caffeine today, which is also causing sleepies and headache and general bad mood). Let’s imagine all these hot men are offering me coffee!
Continue readingWhat an interesting movie! Very well done, made some surprising choices, and ended with a complicated message. Oh, and I encourage you to see the movie if you possibly can, it has something for anyone and really gives you things to think over. Read this review if you possibly can watch it, save this review here for after you watch it.
Continue readingWhat a surprisingly good movie! There were still moments that could have been better, the ending dragged, etc. etc., but overall it is still a very good film. I can whole-heartedly recommend it.
Continue readingI am going to give you all a gift! This is a movie that is just pure joy, happiness in a little Amazon Prime package. You should all watch it, and then thank me.
Continue readingPart 3! And I might, finally, be ready to move on to Salman’s own life instead of just establishing his background and childhood. But probably not.
Continue readingWell, this is just surreal! Not the Eid greeting to thousands of fans gathered out front, that is what we have come to find “normal”. No, that Letterman was there. Do you think he gets to be part of the family holiday party too? Or are they just going to send him back to his hotel, all unfed and uncelebrated?
Continue readingEid Mubarak!!!! And Bharat Mubarak! It’s a great day all around. I will be seeing Bharat at 6:30 tonight, and I know it’s selfish, but please no spoilers before then! Especially opinion spoilers (“I liked it”, “I hated it”). I want to go in unprejudiced and give an honest response. Instead, let’s talk about anything else we watched!
Continue readingSorry, this is more stuff that happened before Salman became famous. But it’s important! These early experiences are what define us as a person. You can’t understand Salman without understanding his family and background.
Continue readingHuh! This trailer is not at all what I predicted and the film looks like it might be far better than expected, in terms of performances, imagination, and topic. Yaaay! I love good movies!
Continue readingYou ready to put on your “SRK Fan/Expert” hats? Time for a discussion post! In which we can all debate the topic which we know and care about the most.
Continue readingHuh, kind of surprised I haven’t reviewed this film yet! Oh well, better late than never. Also, better waiting until it is easily available on youtube, for free, legally, with subtitles. And on some Netflixes, but not in America.
Continue readingI just did my Hindi Film 101 on Katrina, and it got me thinking about Salman and the need to do a series on him, instead of just dancing around the details of his life. So, here is my start! Starting with his father Salim.
Continue readingKind of a slow news day. I decided to ignore the stories that are about people talking about other people talking about things, because I hate those stories, and just focus on the ones that are actual things.
Continue readingHappy Monday! Such an odd week for me, on Wednesday I see Bharat and on Thursday I see Gene Kelly’s widow! Don’t know what she’s gonna talk about or anything, I’m just excited to be in the same room and, like, touch the hem of her garment.
Continue readingSecond time for this! I was gonna do 3 months the first time, and then I realized that release dates change way too last minute for that. So I’m trying about a month and a half at a go.
Continue readingI say “rerun”, but I actually did quite a bit of rewriting of this review, so it’s mostly totally new. Hopefully you like it!
