This is just the happiest movie. And it sounds stupid when you try to describe it. Stupid, and kind of sad.
Continue readingSilly Sunday: Last Veteran’s Day Repost! 12 Dancing Princesses and a Veteran Army Officer
I really really like this one. I like the original fairy tale, and I think the rewrite I did on it is AWESOME. Plus, the perfect movie to put Swara Bhaskar and Shahrukh together.

Well, this is just me being lazy! I’m traveling (driving for 6 hours, then walking around and visiting places with my Mom), so I threw this together and scheduled it in advance.
Continue readingSaturday Small Talk: Chat Away While I Hang With My Mother!
My Mom and I are in the little town where my grandfather grew up to close up the last family house and do all that stuff. And we have an ambitious plan of hitting the historical society, the cemetery, Poppie’s high school, and the really good breakfast place. In the meantime, you all can chat!

I’m traveling today, so I am putting up a placeholder post to keep you entertained and calling it “TGIF”. Plus, it has cute little doggie photos!
Continue readingFriday Classics: Jeet, All the Best Things of the 90s
SUCH A GOOD MOVIE!!!! If you like that kind of thing. If I say that the finale has a woman giving birth in a burning house in the middle of a gunfight, does that make you happy or sad? What if I tell you that they all escape the burning house into a burning car in which there is a high speed chase and explosion while she is STILL giving birth? And it ends at a brothel where prostitutes serve as helpful midwives? Is your response “that is so illogical it makes me angry” or “that is so illogical it makes me happy”?
Continue readingDiscussion Post: How Ready Are We to Cheat? Which of These Movies Had Us Rooting For the Characters to Do the Wrong Thing?

Happy Tabu Birthday Week! Here is a movie in which she is effortlessly incredibly charming, and helps the movie itself also be effortlessly incredibly charming.
Continue readingIntro to Rajinikanth: 5 Films to Watch Before Darbar
I’m not a southern film expert, like, AT ALL. But I do know enough to suggest 5 films that might help you to understand why Rajini Sir is such a big deal, and what he means to people. Because I just went through that journey myself and these are the 5 films that helped me. And apparently his next film is going to be big BIG (since just the first look poster got a cross-language release), so now is a good time to study up.
Continue readingWednesday Malayalam: Kali, Dulquer and Sai Pallavi’s Perfect Little Thriller Love Story
Such a well-made movie! I didn’t fully appreciate it back when I first saw it, but after having seen more Malayalam films, and more Dulquer performances, I really see how it is special.

Well, everyone is making bad decisions this week! And just because their big grown up celebrities doesn’t mean they are too big for me to correct.

I’m having a silly silly day. It’s overcast again, which makes me depressed and weird, plus I didn’t get any sleep, plus the people of the world just insist on doing silly things today! It’s not my fault, the celebrities are making me do this!
Continue readingTwo Movies I Don’t Care About, WHY Aamir??? And WHY Madhavan???
Why do actors I like keep making movies I have no interest in? Why doesn’t the world listen to me and dance to my tunes at all times?

Continue readingNetflix Serieses for Shahrukh! Red Chillies, Take These Ideas Free of Charge!
Having another lazy night, eating popcorn and watching BBC mysteries while the dog sleeps. It’s one of those days where it is so cold outside that once you get inside, your body goes into hibernation mode. Anyway, this means it is a good time for me to do a nice cosy little post, the ideas we have crowdsourced for the Netflix family series that Shahrukh should make in order to have a nice work-life balance while still keeping his face in front of the world in a non-controversial way.
Continue readingHappy 5th of November! Let’s Look at Some Revolutionary Songs!
It’s Guy Fawkes day! The day we celebrate Guy Fawkes’ failure to blow up Parliement by…blowing stuff up? Honestly, I feel like if “Guy Fawkes” didn’t have such an amazing name, we wouldn’t still be talking about him. Anyhoo, let’s look at some big revolutionary Guy Fawkes-like songs. (yes, this is partly an excuse to put up my favorite Malayalam rap song again)
