I’m still hopeful for Alisa, partly because I truly believe she can join a minute by minute tweetalong of this movie just by watching it in her head.

Continue readingFrom the silly way I treat the holidays, with giveaways and fanfic and all, it may seem as though I don’t take the holiday seriously. Or maybe I do, but I don’t find anything in it that can overlap with my Hindi film love. And that’s not the case, so every year I put up this post about why Christmas is so important to me, and how it wraps itself around every part of my life, including the films I watch.
Continue readingWell, this is a saaaaaaaaaaaaaad movie! If you want the happy edit, stop after the telephone booth song, fast-forward until the Valentine’s Day song, watch Hema yell in a nightclub, then fast-forward again until Hema and Amitabh are reunited and play straight through from there.
Continue readingThis is a movie I like more and more as time goes on. It’s happy, it’s loving, and bright colored and cheerful. It’s also completely illogical, but that doesn’t really matter.
Continue readingHappy Christmas Eve! The holiday that is all about the excitement of one last long night before a new day. And we have Hindi songs for that!
Continue readingI’ve still got one more official week left in the give away, but I have SO MANY CARDS!!!!! And you are all such delightful people, you deserve to have a lovely lovely holiday card if you want one.
Continue readingOn Friday I reposted my ridiculously long Baar Baar Dekho review. Today, I’m reposting another early review where I went the other way, my surprisingly short Dilwale review! Anyway, it’s a happy family and love Christmas film, totally deserves to be remembered the day before the day before Christmas!
Continue readingTime to write our wish list for Santa! And he can give us anything he wants, because he is SANTA! Govinda come back? SRKajol reunion? Sid-Alia Break-Up? It could all happen!

Continue readingI have seen sooooooooooooooo many Christmas movies in the last few days. And now I really want to spend Christmas in a small cheap to film in town in Canada. It’s not Christmas if I’m not seeing a bunch of random Canadian extras around an aging former family sitcom star in a Christmas sweater! Anyway, this goodness needs to break into the Indian market, and I am here with 5 separate plot ideas and suggested casting.
Continue readingYou did it! The week every one else forgot me, you stuck it out and WON!!!! YAAAAAAY!!!!! I will have to make you something really truly wonderful.

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. Especially during the warm happy holiday family times.
Continue readingOkay, I got a little cocky last weekend with the whole “all my gifts are wrapped and mailed, I am better than all y’all” announcement. I forgot, I still have to do stuff for the actual right here real people, and also I am hosting Christmas this year and my bathroom is gross.
Continue readingIf you watched the trailer and thought “I think I can guess the entire plot of this movie”, you are correct! You can guess the entire plot of the movie. But if you watched the trailer and thought “I’m not sure, I want to see it and see what happens”, or if you skipped the trailer entirely, you can skip this review too and just read the “no spoilers” version instead.
Continue readingI saw it! 1:45pm show, me and 3 other people in the theater, and I kept falling asleep. No slight on the movie, just because I was in a warm dark quiet empty theater, and it’s been a long week.
Continue readingWatch out, this is a long review. For no particular reason, I just had a lot of time the week the movie came out. But it’s such a fun happy Christmas kind of movie!
Continue readingI seem to repost this review about once every two months, and I don’t even care that I do. It’s such a beautiful movie, if I convince one new person to watch it with every repost, it is worth it.
Continue readingI started the 101s with the Kapoors, so this is one of the very first posts I put up. But it’s still accurate, and it’s still good, so I am reposting it! And now you can learn about the Kurrent Kapoor Sisters.
Continue readingI wrote this about 6 months ago, but I want to repost it now in context with the other actress 101s I have been doing. Just in case you missed it 6 months ago, or in case you read it and want to come back to it with fresh eyes, comparing her with Vidya, and Anushka, and Deepika.
Continue readingIt’s after 4pm so I have once again entered The Dark Times. Let’s cheer ourselves up with a fun and fruitful discussion! Which Shahrukh song, to you, most embodies your favorite parts of Christmas?
