Oh shoot, I failed at a clever title. Oh well, there’s always next week. Something about playing Holi with money or something, that will work. (as always, figures from bollywoodhungama)
Continue readingThis is related to the Kabhi Kabhi post I just put up in which we had a discussion of what is up with that very memorable “first night” song.
Continue readingYou can see Shashi’s humility in this film, he has a wonderful role, but it is no bigger than anyone else’s, he easily shares screen space with Nawazuddin Shah, with Nafisa Ali, and of course with his own wife.
Continue readingOh dear. I suspect people will have strong emotions about this news. I know I did! That strong emotion being “oh please don’t make me watch this movie!”
Continue readingWhat fun! I’m gonna criticize stuff! I almost never do that, because I like liking things. But sometimes it is okay to be mean. And I really hate Devdas.
Continue readingHappy Shashi’s birthday!!!! What a wonderful day, and what a wonderful week, a Shashi review every day! Starting with Kabhi Kabhi, a multi-starrer where Shashi is easily the best man on screen.
Continue readingNew Kalank song! Really lovely visuals, very “big” feeling. And a pretty nice sound, but not mindblowing. Although it is also the kind of song that sometimes isn’t mindblowing on the first listen, and then sticks in your mind.
Continue readingHappy Monday! I had such an exciting weekend! Migraine, plus we went to the dog park for the first time, and I did 4 loads of laundry and packed for my vacation. Oh, and bought blue jeans! But mostly, dog park! So exciting!
Continue readingThis is such a great movie, for once the kind of amoral no excuses whatever it takes attitude of the action hero, shows up in a tiny little girl
Continue readingI decided this isn’t offensive. Because I did a gritty Christmas story trilogy already, and also Purim is partially a historical story along with being religious, and there is nothing wrong in using history as a starting point for a fanfic. Unless you are Bhansali.
Continue readingHey, it’s Shashi’s birthday tomorrow! And since he is a bit of a blog favorite (and because I am going on vacation and can’t write a lot of new posts), I am going to do a theme week! What fun for us all!
Continue reading(This is a re-posted post from last year, because I am lazy.) There really aren’t as many connections between Ireland and India as you would expect. They both start with “I”? They are both former British colonies? Their flags are confusingly similar? The both have disputed territories to the north? But what few connections I could remember, I have pulled up and highlighted, on this, the ridiculous made-up unofficial international Ireland celebration day.
Continue readingHello! I am waiting for the washers to be available, so I am knocking out one more random post while I wait.
Continue readingIs this the best post for me to put together while fighting a migraine? Oh well, I have to do something while I wait for the pills to kick in. Let’s get ANGRY!!!
Continue readingIt’s hilarious. And I’m having a busy Saturday and my head hurts, so I don’t want to do a real post, instead I am going to share the doggie funny with you all!
Continue readingOnce again, I forgot and skipped February. Oh well, it was a depressing month, maybe no one would have liked me if they had found me then anyway.
Continue readingHappy Saturday! I’m going on a trip! Not for 6 days, but this is my last weekend before, so I have to do a million things to get ready.
Continue readingI can’t believe I haven’t reviewed this movie before! It’s so good, and so different from really anything else out there. Thoughtful, complex, and with a hero who is more about quiet thinking than quick action.
Continue readingOops, I skipped last month! Oh well, think of it as a Valentine Present to you all, you got to skip this boring boring post in February.
Continue readingThis is SUCH a good post! I put in a lot of a work and it is generally wonderful, and then for whatever reason there wasn’t a lot of traffic last week, and hardly any comments (except for me and Angie saying to each other “why aren’t there more people here?”), so I am reposting it.
Continue readingMy first thought was lullabies, but “sloth” isn’t about sleeping, it’s about laziness. So I am going with Miss Braganza’s idea of lazy manboys as the best representation. And there are so many lazy manboys in Indian film!
Continue readingNeed a little pick me up this morning? I am here for you! Mr. Albus Barkeridge has a bow tie.
Continue readingI watched it! Such an interesting movie. A collection of short stories with big name stars and a great visual aesthetic. And all produced by Nani, yet another reason to love him.
Continue readingShoot! I forgot this entirely and I have nothing prepared! Oh well, I will repost from last year I guess.
Continue readingThis is fun! Kind of a “state of the studio” post, looking at where Red Chillies came from and where it is now, post the release of Badla.
