I like this news! A mix of an actual announcement to discuss, pleasant gossip, and the chance for us all to feel ethically superior to TV producers.
Continue readingOh boy, a big scary 101 that people are going to yell at me and disagree with me about what I say! Those are always the best ones.
Continue readingI feel a little bad because I asked for suggestions and votes and stuff and then I just went off and picked something totally different. But on the other hand, I picked a movie that I know people will really REALLY want to watch. Oh, and it’s on Netflix
Continue readingI hope this is a fun post for folks, if you care as much about mother roles as I do, and maybe after this one we can take the Champion mothers and have them battle with each other.
Continue readingThis started out just being “interesting mothers” and then I realized it was all non-biological and just went with that. Interesting there are so many, isn’t it?
Continue readingI am highly prejudiced of course (as everyone is on subjective things like parenting), but to me these are the absolute WORST mothers in recent Hindi film. Would you agree? And which is really the worst?
Continue readingI’m finally getting around to the non-Shahrukh “I For India” performances. No one is what I would call “good”, but they are trying, and that’s what matters. Sort of. Also, here’s Preity to cheer us up.
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! Oh my gosh this week has been crazy at work. Every morning I have 1 or 2 calls scheduled for the day, and by 11am, I am fully booked. Makes the days go in that weird slow/fast way.
Continue reading3 of these movies have classic strong mother roles for Mother’s Day….and one does not, but I really love it. Which one shall we choose?
Continue readingNot masks! Let’s take it as a given that those of us who sew have made dozens of boring repetitive masks. But what fun stuff have we done? Knitting, cross-stitch, watercolor, or just sidewalk chalk and signs for windows? I want to know about any of it!
Continue readingWhat a nice movie! A bit rambly and confusing, even more than usual for Malayalam films, but the characters are so interesting and nice that it keeps me going, and everyone ends in a good place.
Continue readingHelp me! What is a fun completely happy and also easy to snark at movie that would be appropriate for Mother’s Day? Doesn’t even have to have a “good” mother in it.
Continue readingLove Nivin, love Trisha, okay with The Beatles, and yet I don’t love-love this movie. It’s a good movie with a nice ending, you should watch it, it’s just not my favorite somehow.
Continue readingI can’t even really tell you why, I just love this movie. And it’s on einthusan! You all should watch it and then come back here and thank me.
Continue readingNews round-up! This is mostly because Brahmastra made me laugh and laugh and laugh. Oh, and because I have a new commenter getting to know Amitabh, and it reminded me that he is a combination of rawly emotional and very very restrained in his public appearances.
Continue readingYaaaaaaay, Trisha! Secretly very good actress of Tamil/Telugu/Malayalam cinema (I say secret because her acting is so natural, you think she is just being herself, and then you see 5 different Trisha movies and realize she is totally different in each of them), who I am VERY INVESTED in getting married to Rana Daggubati. Oh, and also Happy Monday.
Continue readingVery clever good performance in a clever good video, but as a loyal SRKian, I got totally distracted by analysis of, like, the art on the wall. Also (always and forever), his hair.
Continue readingThat title really makes you want to watch this movie, doesn’t it? Or, alternatively, not. If you have no patience for gold chains on glorious chest hair, or long speeches about the sins of money, this may not be for you.
Continue readingShashi alert! Well, sort of. At least “Kendal Family Alert”. Let’s look at nice pleasant murder mystery serieses from the BBC, the kind where death happens without blood or mess and usually to unpleasant people we don’t mind when they day, and suggest that perhaps Netflix should stop making scary bloody rapey shadowed urban series, and more happy pretty countryside murders.
Continue readingLook how cool this is, a 13 year old cares about my blog! BollywoodNewbie’s obviously very sophisticated and intelligent son is turning 13, and I am celebrating the fact that I have a cool 13 year old boy who likes my blog enough to notice a birthday post!
Continue readingOh Zoe! You poor messed up confused scared sad little girl. The whole story of the film is your story.
Continue readingRandeep Hooda’s character! Who is just fascinating, a bit of a throwback to the old charming type of wise older mentor (picture Ashok Kumar), only in this film he is mentoring a young woman instead of a young man.
Continue readingThe 3 of you who loved this movie, this is for you! I expect LOTS of comments! Oh, and if you only vaguely enjoyed the film, you can comment too, that’s allowed.
Continue readingHappy Saturday! I’m having a weekend away at my apartment. Starting Monday, I’m lending the space to a friend for quarantine, so this is my last shot for two weeks. After that, all my parents’ place, all the time.
Continue readingHappy Birthday Rachel!!!! You let slip 6 months ago that your birthday was today, and I planned and planned and planned and HA! I surprised you!
