Some people needed earlier, some later, I decided to just move it half an hour and see what happens. And y’all better show up! You were the ones who picked this movie!
Continue readingWhat a good movie! Yes, the end totally fell apart, but it bravely confronted all kinds of big scary issues along the way. Read on if you won’t have the chance to see it, are not interested in a romance film, or are interested but need to be spoiled first so you can relax and enjoy it.
Continue readingWoot! It’s a Love Story! The title did not tell a lie. It’s not the best most satisfying love story I have ever seen, but it is for sure a love story. If you are considering seeing it, I will warn you now that the end bit is EXTREMELY stressful. And I give you the option of finding out what happens even in this No Spoilers review if you just can’t relax and enjoy a movie with that kind of stress.
Continue readingFine! You win! We’re doing Yes Boss!!! Even though it is only on einthusan, even though it is weirdly sort of dark, even though in many places it feels like SRK is doing a Michael J. Fox impression.
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! This week is just FLYING by! Partly because I have a social event every single night except Monday. And today I have TWO.
Continue readingIt’s getting chilly! I bought mint tea! I’m gonna make pumpkin bread! I am in the mood for one of those loves and hugs sort of family TV dramas, but I can’t decide which one! Help!
Continue readingOh boy, the first faint opening bells of Shahrukh Month!!!! We have to pick our first Shahrukh Month WatchAlong Film. And I have IDEAS. Oh, and I also have a conflict Friday afternoon, so it has to be Saturday morning this week.
Continue readingIf y’all don’t follow Taran on twitter, you should. He does all this really basic reporting before anyone else gets it out there. It’s a one stop shop for the news you need.
Continue readingHappy Monday! I had a very productive weekend, got my dining room set up, hung pictures, did a puzzle. And now I am trying to remember how to work and be boring.
Continue readingI just watched a fascinating documentary on Chippandales! Not that the documentary itself was really REALLY good, but that the story is really really good. And, I think, hits that DCIB sweet spot of thinking about Indian American Big Issues.
Continue readingThese are real stories, very sad, and so on. But I will deal with tragedy by fictionalizing it and thinking about how great it would be as a Hindi film romance! Especially because both of them remind me a bit of Abbas-Mustan and we just watched Ajnabee.
Continue readingOkay, I am going to TRY to find a “larger theme” here, but I really doubt I will. But maybe! Fingers crossed! It can’t just be about neon clothes and lipliner.
Continue readingI decided, I need a deadline. So I invited friends over for dinner on Monday IN THE DINING ROOM. I don’t have to empty all the boxes by then (these are very good friends), but I do have to at least make enough space to eat at the table. That should keep me busy for the rest of the weekend.
Continue readingI am excited! I haven’t watched a good old classic early 2000s movie in ages, and even longer since I watched one I hadn’t seen before. I am ready to be entertained and surprised!
Continue readingKareena has had a very long career as a top actress. Which means, unfortunately, many MANY opportunities for ambitious photo editors to do terrible things to her.
Continue readingAjnabee! Tomorrow afternoon! On Prime or Einthusan!!! It’s a big dumb fun Abbas-Mustan movie, or so I have been told. I haven’t seen it before so I will be learning with you!!!
Continue readingI am feeling depressed and rainy and I am gonna lean into it! Let’s listen to some sad SAD music. But that really deep powerful sadness, you know?
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! I am remembering why I always do Shahrukh month. It’s because the last month before daylight savings is SUPER depressing. I love fall, I do not love getting up in the dark. Unless I am rewarded for getting up by writing an SRK post.
Continue readingHappy Friday!!! And Happy Kareena’s Birthday Week!!! FilmiKudhi suggested we watch a Kareena movie and I think that is a GREAT idea. What should we watch???
Continue readingThere’s really not much to spoil here. A lot happens, and yet I didn’t really care about any of it? And I suspect every viewer would feel the same way.
Continue readingHuh! This actually felt like a TV movie! Somehow gentler, cheaper, slower, more friendly to commercial breaks and distracted viewing. But very pleasant for what it was, more pleasant and easy than some of the Movie-Movie versions.
Continue readingHappy Monday! I had a lovely lazy no-unpacking weekend, and now I feel guilty and Bad. But I am trying not to feel guilty because there’s no LAW that says I have to unpack in all my free time until I am fully moved in. Also, I moved a piano this morning before work, so that’s something.
Continue readingHappy Saturday! I watched TWO new-to-me movies yesterday! So get excited for new reviews at some point in the next few days. Maybe today! Or maybe not!
Continue readingHappy Friday! And Happy Shabana day! I am very nervous about this movie because I haven’t seen it before and what if it is SAD??? But even if it is sad, it still has Shashi, so that is HAPPY.
Continue readingWoo-hoo! A 70s movie! Which is available on Prime and youtube and both the same length!!!! I am EXCITED!
