Oh boy! I haven’t down a box office run down in a few weeks, because it’s been boooooooooooring. But now Bharat is out! Excitement! (figures from bollywoodhungama)

Upcoming Reviews! Imtiaz Ali Fest! Love Aaj Kal on Friday, Socha Na Tha on Sunday
I’m on vacation, and who does vacation better than Imtiaz Ali? So, two movies for you all to watch and then talk about with me! Or have already watched and remember so well you don’t need to rewatch them. Either way!
Continue readingDiscussion Post: What Are Your Favorite Movies of the First Half of 2019?
Well, this is hopeless, I can’t bring myself to do real serious writing when instead I could be sitting on the porch reading a book. So I am going to steal an idea from Reflects On Life and open up a discussion: favorite movies you watched in 2019?
Continue readingMonday Morning Questions: What Do You Want to Ask Me While I Am on Vacation?
Happy Monday! I’m especially happy because I am still on vacation. Which also means that I might be slightly slow to respond to your questions today, but I will get to it eventually.
Continue readingSunday ReRun: Notebook, My Favorite Romance of 2019 (so far)
This is such a delightful little surprise of a movie! I really hope a lot of you were able to watch it. And if you weren’t, put it on your list to watch soon, because it is really wonderful.
Continue readingSilly Sunday FanFic: Classic Hollywood Noble Mother Soaper with Older Charming Newspaper Editor Romance! Rani and SRK?
I was late for work on Thursday because I just had to stay home long enough to see how this thing ended. The original is only like 70 minutes and yet SO MUCH happens!!! I feel like it needs to be remade and given the 3 hour treatment it deserves. Also, I feel like Hindi film needs more sacrificial mothers rewarded with late in life romance main characters.
Continue readingHappy World Ocean Day! All 7 Seas in Indian Movies
It’s world ocean day! So the google doodle tells me. And I am feeling lazy and need a second post to throw up, so let’s do this!
Read moreSaturday Small Talk: You Talk, I’ll Do Laundry
Happy Saturday! I have no clean clothes. So I will write this thingy, then throw on sort-of clothes and walk the dog, and drive to the laundromat.
Continue readingTGIF: Happy Donut Day!
This is a rerun, but it’s a good one, and anyway I did an entire original one yesterday, the coffee to go with the donuts (read it here).
Continue readingFriday Classics: Baghban, A Couple Who is Supposed to be Too Old to Love
Happy Friday! No new movie today (because of Bharat) which should give us loads of time to discuss this older movie.
Continue readingTGIT: Hot Men with Coffee
I’m sleeeeeeeeeeeeeepy. Was up until 1am last night writing Bharat reviews. And now it is really hard to get my brain to work. So I will do things that require no thought, and might also give me a shot of imaginary caffeine (no real caffeine today, which is also causing sleepies and headache and general bad mood). Let’s imagine all these hot men are offering me coffee!
Continue readingBharat Review (SPOILERS): Keep Hope Alive, Always
What an interesting movie! Very well done, made some surprising choices, and ended with a complicated message. Oh, and I encourage you to see the movie if you possibly can, it has something for anyone and really gives you things to think over. Read this review if you possibly can watch it, save this review here for after you watch it.
Continue readingBharat Review (No Spoilers): The Small Story of a Small Person Who Had a Good Life
What a surprisingly good movie! There were still moments that could have been better, the ending dragged, etc. etc., but overall it is still a very good film. I can whole-heartedly recommend it.
Continue readingSunday ReRun Announcement: Notebook! The Sweetest Nicest Prettiest Happiest Little Romance, Review on 6/9
I am going to give you all a gift! This is a movie that is just pure joy, happiness in a little Amazon Prime package. You should all watch it, and then thank me.
Continue readingEid at Mannat With Letterman
Well, this is just surreal! Not the Eid greeting to thousands of fans gathered out front, that is what we have come to find “normal”. No, that Letterman was there. Do you think he gets to be part of the family holiday party too? Or are they just going to send him back to his hotel, all unfed and uncelebrated?
Continue readingSuper 30 Trailer! Really Interesting Look
Huh! This trailer is not at all what I predicted and the film looks like it might be far better than expected, in terms of performances, imagination, and topic. Yaaay! I love good movies!
Continue readingDiscussion Post: Let’s Talk About Shahrukh’s Construction and Deconstruction of His Identity!
You ready to put on your “SRK Fan/Expert” hats? Time for a discussion post! In which we can all debate the topic which we know and care about the most.
Continue readingFriday Classic Announcement: Baghban! Amitabh and Hema Show the Young People How Romance is Done, Friday 6/7
Huh, kind of surprised I haven’t reviewed this film yet! Oh well, better late than never. Also, better waiting until it is easily available on youtube, for free, legally, with subtitles. And on some Netflixes, but not in America.
Continue readingHindi Film 101: Salman Khan Part 1, Salim Khan the Motherless Boy
I just did my Hindi Film 101 on Katrina, and it got me thinking about Salman and the need to do a series on him, instead of just dancing around the details of his life. So, here is my start! Starting with his father Salim.
Continue readingNews Round-Up: Karan Interview, SRK Tweet, and Bharat Tickets
Kind of a slow news day. I decided to ignore the stories that are about people talking about other people talking about things, because I hate those stories, and just focus on the ones that are actual things.
Continue readingMonday Morning Questions: What Do You Want to Ask Me Bharat Week?
Happy Monday! Such an odd week for me, on Wednesday I see Bharat and on Thursday I see Gene Kelly’s widow! Don’t know what she’s gonna talk about or anything, I’m just excited to be in the same room and, like, touch the hem of her garment.
Continue readingUpcoming Movies, Kabir Singh to Mental Hai Kya
Second time for this! I was gonna do 3 months the first time, and then I realized that release dates change way too last minute for that. So I’m trying about a month and a half at a go.
Continue readingSunday ReRun: Guru! A Biopic That is Secretly a Story About Love
I say “rerun”, but I actually did quite a bit of rewriting of this review, so it’s mostly totally new. Hopefully you like it!
Continue readingSilly Sunday: Opposites Attract Romance Movies for Maddy
I couldn’t come up with any really good one idea for this week, so instead I’ll do a bunch of little ideas of movies Maddy could make next.

A new anonymous comment just popped up on this old post, which made me reread it and go “hey, this is a great post!” So I am reposting it, just for happiness.
