Akshat in a comment just reminded me to talk about FilmFare awards, and said there is some kind of controversy this year, which blech. Get ready for Margaret to be very bitter and angry about people who get upset about stuff that doesn’t matter. But only after first laying out why it doesn’t matter and my own lukewarm opinions.
Continue readingHappy Monday! I am back at work after seeing a movie I really liked on Friday, and one I really didn’t like on Sunday.
Continue readingWell, this is a bad movie! But keep it in mind for the next time you want a reminder of what whiny little pointless wastes of oxygen some men can be. And how lucky you are not to have one in your life.
Continue readingWell, this is a dumb movie! In a way that isn’t fun-dumb, but also isn’t angry-making dumb, but rather just dumb-dumb. Like that guy at a party who you don’t actually dislike, you just really really are looking forward to not having to talk to him any more.
Continue readingWoo, new series! I don’t know if anyone really cares about these, but they are useful for me to help plan out my writing schedule. And if you have a Reading Schedule, here is a heads up about a new topic that is coming.
Continue readingHappy birthday Ashutosh!!! I think Swades and Jodha-Akbar are probably tied for me for my favorite of your movies. Lagaan is whatever, Mohenjo Daro and What’s Your Raashee? are a mess, and I haven’t seen Panipat.
Continue readingI always forget about this site, but I suppose that doesn’t really matter. I mean, they aren’t looking to get famous or reach people, they just want to archive the best possible digital versions of Indian films in order to preserve them. Anyway, I just put up a very angry and depressed post yesterday (well, angry and depressed for me, which is super cheerful and polite for most people), and then I remembered this site and felt better, so I want to make y’all feel better too!
Continue readingAre those all our favorite movies? I think so! If I forgot something, throw it in the comments and I’ll sex that up too.
Continue readingLittle epilogue, a reposted post of all the songs that are about sex so explicitly they really don’t make sense if you see them any other way.
Continue readingPrime has done something new and horrible which made me decide I need to do a new kind of “consumer beware” post in hopes of helping you save yourselves.
Continue readingI’m doing Ramesh Sippy movies for two weeks, which hopefully will get some of you to watch them so I can have someone to talk to about things, but in between I am also throwing in random Sunday Reviews.
Continue readingThis is exciting! And very difficult since I’ve only seen 3 out of the 8 films I want to cover. Oh well, I’ll give myself a nice slow schedule. And throw in the usual Sunday Reruns and new movies and stuff in between so you aren’t bored.
Continue readingHappy Saturday! I had a late night last night, hung out with my friend and her 2 year old for a long time then was up late writing my Love Aaj Kal 2 review, so I will be sleeping in and taking it easy today.
Continue readingSuch a good movie! I’m SHOCKED! The trailers looked really terrible, and the concept made no sense (why remake a movie that is barely 10 years old?), and it was filmed in what felt like no time at all. And then it turns out to be a really deep interesting consideration of the problems of women in modern India. Who’d have thought?
Continue readingYep, it’s a good movie! And Karthik and Sara both do wonderful jobs, especially Sara. Once again, Imtiaz’s vision failed to be captured by the trailers.
Continue readingI love writing about JHMS!!!! And this will get me hyped to go see Imtiaz’s new film which I’m really not that excited about.
Continue readingDo you like cute dog photos? Do you like heart shaped cookies? I have a post for you!
Continue readingObjectifying women is wrong. BUT! If an entire image is carefully crafted, with the full participation of the model, to evoke sexuality, they we aren’t objectifying, we are talking about Art. You’ll see, these aren’t like “oo, I can see her breast” photos, these are classic elaborate really beautiful images. But which is the BEST?
Continue readingThis is NOT a review of Sanam Tere Kasam. Okay, the second half is. But the first half is just a discussion of female romantic fantasies, and it’s important, and you should read it even if you don’t care about the rest of it.
Continue readingHappy travels! Here is a last little digital good luck wish for you. Swing back and tell us how things are going if you have time/internet ability!
Continue readingThis is such a good interesting movie! I watched it years ago and yet I still remember it well enough to write a review, which is a sign of a very good movie.
Continue readingOh boy, a Thought Post! These are the posts where I talk a bit too much to call it a “Discussion Post”, but a bit too little to call it a “101”. It’s just a bunch of thoughts, and then you can leapfrog off of it.
Continue readingYou know what we don’t see enough movies about? What happens if the sex is BAD!!!! Luckily, I am here to write those stories. And intellectualize it a little bit so we all feel more classy and less dirty.
Continue readingThis is a movie that is all about sex, without actually having a sex scene. Sex fantasies, sex experimentation, and sexual violence (nothing explicitly shown, but discussed and treated seriously by the plot). And it is also a movie about love and redemption and freedom. It’s just lovely.
Continue readingI already did this for Shahrukh, and I suspect fewer people will care about Hrithik than SRK. But lets see! And this time I am including movies where he doesn’t actually have sex on screen but will have sex shortly after the film ends.
