This is the third time I’ve posted this review, but I’m just gonna keep posting it! This was a really big deal movie, it deserves to be talked about again and again and again.

Hrithik Week Discussion Post: What is His Best Song?
Oh, this is hard! This is very very hard! He has so many good ones. I had a hard time even limiting down which to include in this post.
Continue readingHrithik Week: Aap Mujhe Acche Lagna Lage, Kaho Na Pyar Hai But More So
This and Na Tum Jaano Na Hum are the two bad Hrithik movies that I secretly like better than the good ones. He’s just such a bad actor! And the plots are soooooooooo stupid! It’s great “turn off your brain” fun!
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Love Triangle Voting! Who Should End Up Together in KKHH, KHNH, Veer-Zaara, Devdas, DTPH, and More!
My goodness he’s been in a lot of love triangles! And we don’t always have to agree with the pair the director decided to end with.

Huh! Two teaser trailers today and I’m not sure what to think about either of them. Luckily, I have you all to help me decide what to think!

You ready for hard HARD choices? Although I will let you mix and match a little if you want to put a shirt with different pants.
Continue readingHrithik Week: Na Tum Jaano Na Hum, Hrithik and Esha and Saif, Oh My!
Such a silly fun light weight movie! You may say it’s stupid, and I won’t exactly argue with you, but it sure is fun too!
Continue readingHrithik Week: Mujshe Dosti Karoge, Hrithik’s Movie That Should Have Been a Hit, But Wasn’t
Full disclosure, I love this movie. In all its cheesy ridiculous glory. This is the most early-2000s or all early-2000s films. And one of my all time favorite Bad Hrithik performances. It’s not even so-bad-it’s-good, it is a level higher, so-bad-it-is-more-entertaining-than-if-it-were-good. Can you imagine this movie if Hrithik’s role had been played straight and serious? Blech! BOR-ING!
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Choose Your Own Ending! Which Of these Alternate Endings Do You Prefer for Dear Zindagi, Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna, Jab Tak Hai Jaan, Zero?
This isn’t a “fixing” the movie post. Maybe you think they are okay as they are. But if you HAD to choose an alternative ending, which one of these would you pick?
Continue readingTrailers! Saaho Song and Mission Mangal Teaser
Well, we have a song that openly imitates every other club song ever, and a trailer that openly imitates every space movie ever. Hurrah for Indian ingeniuity (I’m grumpy this morning).
Continue readingHrithik Week/Shahrukh Summer: Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham!
Happy Hrithik Week! 5 reposted reviews, 2 new ones, I’m excited! And we are starting with the one link between Hrithik Week and Shahrukh Summer, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham.
Continue readingUpcoming Review Announcement! Hrithik Week in Honor of Super 30!
Well, this should be fun! I’ve already reviewed a bunch of Hrithik movies, almost all of them, mostly because he just doesn’t make that many movies. There’s a couple others I haven’t reviewed yet that I know well enough I can write the reviews by memory. And I’m gonna be celebrating my mother’s birthday this weekend, so I may not be able to see Super 30 until who-knows-when. In the meantime, these should keep us all busy!
Continue readingShahrukh Summer Discussion Post: Let’s Fix Raees!
Well, this is a fruitful source of discussion! So many Shahrukh movies that are almost perfect, but not quite.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Discussion Space, How Would We Fix Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna?
Fun fun! Emily and I started kicking this around yesterday, and I thought why not put it out for all of us to talk about?
Continue readingMonday Morning Questions: What Do You Want to Ask Me the Week Super 30 Releases?
Happy Monday! I had a lovely weekend, and now I am back at work all refreshed and rested and ready to chat online with you all.
Continue readingSunday ReRun: Baar Baar Dekho! Let’s Look At the Last Time Sid Did a Rom-Com
I really need to rewatch this movie. I think I might like it a lot better knowing where it is going. And I already liked it a decent amount. It wasn’t great, but it was far from terrible. Oh, and it’s on Amazon Prime! So you should all watch it. Oh, and watch out, I had a lot of time the week this released so I did a full scene by scene discussion. VERY LONG.
Continue readingSilly Sunday: Sequels! Dostana and B ‘n B Are Coming Back, Why Not Laaga Chunari Main Daag, Aaje Nachle, and Agneepath?
I love sequels. I always want to know what happened next and to whom. What about the kids? What about five years later or ten years later? Of course, usually it is more of a franchise than a sequel, taking the central idea and remixing it, but I can live with that too.
Continue readingOh! Baby Review (SPOILERS): Gentle Misogynist Comedy
Oh dear, I did not like this movie. I don’t like not liking movies, especially when I think that some of you might like them. Oh well.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer: Walking Songs!
Ready for a silly theme? I just went for an extremely long walk this morning, and now, worn out and not ready to write something big, I am going to write a post of Shahrukh walking.
Continue readingSaturday Small Talk: Chat Away While I Hide From the Heat
Happy Saturday! Supposedly we will get a bunch of thunderstorms today that will turn the 99 degree weather into a more tolerable high 70s. But I will believe it when I see it. In the meantime, I will spend my day hiding in air conditioned spaces.
Continue readingOh Baby Review (No Spoilers): Best Part About it Is Samantha’s Costumes
Yesterday I treated myself to a double bill, because I had the day off work and it’s super hot so I wanted movie theater air conditioning. This was a kind of random pick based on showtimes and the trailer looking cute. I don’t exactly regret watching it, but I’m also not super happy I did.
Continue readingShahrukh Summer Discussion Post: For the 4th of July, Which is the Best/Your Favorite American Set Shahrukh Movie?
It’s hot, I want to still be on vacation, let’s do a lazy question! It’s really just picking between a handful of movies for your favorite, a classic fandom challenge.

If you are a dog person, and an American, I am sure you are wondering. Since the 4th of July is a bit of a nightmare for many dogs. And dog owners.
Continue readingArticle 15 Review (SPOILERS): The Duty Owed By the 1% to the 70%
I already wrote a No Spoilers review, you should read that if you are planning to see this movie. But if you aren’t planning to see it, because you spend your life worrying about social issues and want to take time off when you go to the movies, you can read this review instead and know what all the fuss is about.
Continue readingArticle 15 Review (No Spoilers): Trying to Make Your Way Through the Swamp
I saw it! To celebrate the 4th of July! And it was quite quite good, in multiple ways. I encourage you to see it if you are a) interested in film narrative techniques or b) interested in confronting social issues. Don’t see it if you are a) interested in love stories or b) spend your entire life dealing with social issues and go to the movies to escape.
