First, if you want to talk about Ali’s personal issues, jump over to this post.  I put it up specially so I could segregate Ali-the-person discussion from Ali-the-actor/director/producer.  Separate from that, read this review and not the SPOILER review if you can’t see the movie!  It’s a great film with a lot of surprising twists and deserves to be watched with fresh eyes.

I hate these controversies, because everyone gets very excited by the first statement, and then forgets to follow the story and loses track of the follow-up.  And I don’t want my review of Ali’s new movie (which I LOVED) to get bogged down in going over and over and over this stuff.  So let’s get it out of the way first.

I have 20 minutes before the kids get here, so I am going to write a news report post real quick, and then dig a croquet set out of the attic so they can hit each other with mallets.  Or possibly actually play croquet, but that seems unlikely.

I don’t know if I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today or what, but the way BollywoodHungama is so shamelessly acting as a PR machine is really bugging me today.  So I’m gonna report their “stories” but I also can’t help but call out their shame.

You have all been delightfully patient with my incredibly dull history of media series that I’ve been obsessed with for the past few days, but now it is all over and as a reward, I will do an intensive review of two movies that I suspect most of you have seen, and have opinions on.
