Happy Wednesday! And happy day I have my last doctor’s appt and my last physical therapy appointment! Hopefully. Maybe.
Continue readingWoot, moving right along! Because I already wrote them and am reposting, it took a lot longer the first time around.
Continue readingThis is halfway through my summary, which means it should be halfway through the movie, but I’m not sure if I lined up right or not. Oh well.
Continue readingThis has 8 parts in total, in case you were wondering. Which should take me neatly into tomorrow and keep my blogging full with little effort on my part, yaaaay!
Continue readingAnother part! This is a movie that is actually worth rewatching, so rewatch it, read my posts, and follow along.
Continue readingThis is exciting, one of my first scene by scenes! So it is a little raggedy and confused, but still fun to read. And I will be posting each bit separately over the next few hours.
Continue readingKing Uncle! The Indian remake of Little Orphan Annie! Very silly. Very happy. Very little SRK.
Continue readingA vital question! Which hopefully will get us all talking a bit, because I like it when we talk, and also I am procrastinating about writing my next Shahrukh review.
Continue readingHaven’t done one of these in a while, feeling kind of low energy this morning, so I thought I would see if there was anything awesome on The Internet. There isn’t really anything awesome, but there’s some stuff that is okay.
Continue readingOnce again, have only seen this movie a couple of times, and haven’t watched it in years. But I will soldier on and try to put up SOME kind of a review!
Continue readingHappy Monday! I got my first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the year this morning. I’m back at my parents and there is a drive through Starbucks a couple blocks away from them, so when I woke up early this morning, I thought “I’m gonna walk the dog over to my car and drive to Starbucks and treat myself”. The Starbucks lady said my dog was cute, so it was an all around successful adventure.
Continue readingI did two posts quickly summarizing and reviewing each of the 6 episodes (first 3 and then second 3). And now, a very quick post discussing the WHOLE THING!!!
Continue readingEither it took me a second to get back into the rhythm, or the start of this second half was kind of “off”.
Continue readingTruly, Biggest Event! I think we can all agree on that. I’ve been thinking about it for about a month (thus the hair posts, sort of. It wasn’t feedback or convincing me exactly, it was more that having those conversations with friends made me realize it was a fun conversation to have), had the appointment scheduled for a week and a half, and finally did it today. And the whole process was miserable, I never want to get a salon cut again, blech!
Continue readingI love Dil Aashna Hai! I watched it years ago on a funky library copy, and fell in love with it. And then I couldn’t track down a copy on DVD to buy until just recently. I should have stolen the library copy! No one else could possibly appreciate it as much as me, I deserved that DVD! But I didn’t, because I am honest, which means it wasn’t until it just popped up on a random ebay list from a seller in India that I was able to watch it again. It’s even more wonderful than I remembered!
Continue readingHappy Saturday! I feel like such a cliche, because everyone is doing this, but I bought myself a home gym equipment thing. Laying around with my foot up for a month really made me want to be more active, and we are heading into winter in Chicago when being active outside will be harder and harder. So I took the plunge and bought myself an elliptical, which is supposed to be delivered at some point in a 4 hour window, and I am going to force the nice delivery man to carry it up 3 flights of stairs for me.
Continue readingYaaaay! I love love love LOVE this movie. And feel a little possessive about it, the filmmaker started putting up her little music videos on youtube while she was still finishing the film, and I watched them back then while she was slowly spinning them out. I was so excited when it turned into a film festival darling and everyone was talking about it!
Continue readingWoo, first Shahrukh-Juhi movie! And first Shahrukh Aziz Mirza movie! They got along okay but didn’t really really like each other in this film. It was one of those friendships that built slowly, not almost instantly like Shahrukh-Kajol.
Continue readingI put up that discussion post two weeks ago, and then realized it was already too late. With the slow shipping times currently and the impossibility of shopping in stores, plus my foot limiting what I am able to do, I didn’t have many options. Anyway, I did the best I could!
Continue readingHappy Birthday Grandpa! 99 years old today! Which is, I think, the longest anyone in our family has ever lived. At least, that we know about 🙂
Continue readingOkay, let’s do this! I’ve only seen this movie straight through twice, and the last time was over two years ago. But I have faith I can still remember and review this!
Continue readingWoo, what a fun interesting TV show perfectly designed for the DCIB audience! And nice a short and light too. I’m gonna do quick short reviews of the episodes, grouping the first 3 and the last 3. Also, VERY IMPORTANT, if you liked this show you should watch Little Things. It doesn’t have the celebrity aspect, but very similar slice of modern Indian life.
Continue readingThis is not Indian film related at all, but I just put up a deep dark post on Malayalam cinema, so I thought we all deserve something super SUPER happy.
Continue readingNow, remember, I am NOT an expert on Malayalam film industry. I’m just a beginner. So this is going to be a summary of “this is what I have heard, but I don’t know if it is true”. However, I do want everyone to read it anyway. Those who know what I am about to say so you can correct me and provide gobs more background. Those who don’t so you can get a baseline for how very messed up a film industry can get.
Continue readingYes, first, my Grandpa’s birthday is 9/11. He had a good 80 years where the most important thing about that date was that it was his birthday. Oh well, now it makes it easy to remember. Second, since the start time is gonna be different, I thought I should give two days warning to people about what movie it will be so they can plan.
