Thank goodness, a year that was low on social issue movies. Or at least, low on movies we actually felt like watching.
Continue readingI just remembered this book, and then I thought “hey, I bet the DCIB people would like it too” and then I thought “I should restart our book club for it!” And now I am. And I am giving you 2 weeks, so you have plenty of time to find it and read it.
Continue readingHappy Saturday! I am having cleaners coming today! I am excited. This afternoon, I am planning to stay home and enjoy the lovely cleanness.
Continue readingHappy Kirre’s Birthday Week!!!!! We are watching a movie that has been recommended to me many times, but I’ve never got around to watching. So, the perfect birthday pick!
Continue readingWe were blessed in earnest Art Will Save the World artistry this year. But which of these films causes more silly giggles and general joy? The one with the flipbook of flashback, or the one with music-caused insanity?
Continue readingHAPPY BIRTHDAY KIRRE!!!! Just for you, we will watch an obscure bad 90s movie that is only available in an incomplete form on Einthusan! I’m actually excited, I’ve been wanting to watch it, but worried no one would watch with me because it’s so strange and hard. But now you will, because KIRRE’S BIRTHDAY!!!
Continue readingI know there has to be AR Rahman songs I’m ignoring. But on the limited DCIB list, we’ve just got the two films and about 20 songs.
Continue readingWhat a surprisingly good movie! Not perfect, there’s a dodgey bit in the middle that I might fastfoward in future, but the rest of it is very VERY good. Especially Vaani’s performance.
Continue readingWhat a surprisingly good movie! Not perfect, but my favorite Ayushmann Issue Movie so far. Because it isn’t an Ayushmann movie actually, it’s Vaani’s movie and she is wonderful in it.
Continue readingHappy Wednesday!!!! I woke up way too early this morning and now I am sleepy. On the plus side, I also had time to make my bed for once.
Continue readingRemember, I am limiting to the films I have picked out as 2021 options! So, among the following options only, make your pick! (and if you’ve only see one, you can pick that one, or else pick based on photos only)
Continue readingHey y’all!!!! Since DCIB is less of an intellectual film website and more of a cozy little group of friends, I want to know how you all are doing. And I want to share how I am doing with you because you are my bestest friends. In year 3 of the pandemic, this online community is becoming ever more important to me.
Continue readingHappy Tuesday! We need to figure out what we are watching this weekend. I’m telling you now, my preference is Pushpa on Saturday morning. But it’s only fun if everyone is having fun! So you tell me if you want something else.
Continue readingThank you thank you for helping me work out this list! I’m gonna go ahead and limit our 2021 Awards Discussion to this tiny group of nominees. Just to make things manageable and try to leave out as few people as possible!
Continue readingOh Hrithik! A man made for instagram. Very pretty in photos, and very superficial in content ideas.
Continue readingHappy Monday! And Happy Hrithik Day! Such a lovely day. In that way only. In the Real World, I’m super sore because I feel down on the stupid ice and I can’t go on nice walks with Albie Dog because of the stupid ice and also one of my co-workers is on vacation for 3 days and I’m too busy to write even a Monday post until after noon. But on the other hand, HRITHIK DAY!!!!
Continue readingIt’s dangerously ice-y today, so I can’t go outside even to our sidewalk. Perfect day to stay in and watch Star Trek and re-write K3G!!!!!
Continue readingYaaaaaay,. the spoilers review! So we can all talk about it in detail, and how much we liked it, and how clever it was.
Continue readingHappy Saturday! It is super super cold here and I am thinking of spending the day inside hanging curtains and otherwise being productive while warm.
Continue readingHappy Friday! I am going to try to convince all of you to hate this movie along with me. Because it is the WORST.
Continue readingWhat a nice film!!! And, most importantly, it is dubbed in English plus all major Indian languages on Netflix. So you can watch it with your kids! Finally, someone is smart enough to see the value in that.
Continue readingGet ready! We are going to watch a movie we all HATE. Okay, a movie Kirre and I hate, and Shelomit hasn’t seen but is open to learning to hate it. For Dips and Rahman’s birthday! Because the two of them are the only good parts of the whole awful mess.
Continue readingIt’s Deepika/AR Rahman week! So many movie options! And of course, their one collaboration, “Tamasha”.
Continue readingHappy Wednesday!!! Stupid FedEx woke me up early today, again. Sent me a text at 6:30am to tell me my delivery was on the way. I’ve gotta remove them from my texting.
Continue readingOTT releases, movies in theaters only some of us saw, it’s all confusing. I’m gonna try to limit it down to the movies that mattered to DCIB world. Let me know if there is something I am missing from the list that you think should be included. I’m looking for movies that a fair number of DCIB people have seen so we can judge them. Oh, and tell me if there is something I should remove because no one really watched it.
