I am sure there are more, these are just the 3 that occur to me. Trailers that made me think “well, I’m not seeing that movie!”

TGIF: 10 Photos of the Past Decade to Make You Happy
I started with a somewhat embarrassing photo that Filmikudhi and I were enjoying yesterday, and then I expanded to less embarrassing photos. I hope.
Continue readingWorst Ranbir Kapoor Film of the 2010s, Poll Post
Seems like, along with being an unofficial SRK fansite, we have also become an unofficial Akshay Kumar/Ranbir Kapoor anti-fan site. And I’m kind of okay with that, whatever makes us happy. Anyway, to go along with the “worst Akshay film of the 2010s”, we must also consider “worst Ranbir film of the 2010s”.
Continue reading2019 Thursday Tamil: Super Deluxe, the Movie Everyone Else Loved and I Had Issues
This should be divisive! Or, maybe not. My first reviews were divisive because they were pulling people who really liked the movie, but at this point it’s only going to be us DCIB regulars and I don’t think any of you were super super enamored? Oh, and fun thing about this review, I am combining the short review I wrote immediately which was flattering, with the SPOILER review I wrote after thinking for a day which was far more critical. So you can see my thought process develop over time, ooooo!
Continue readingWorst Hindi Title of 2019!!! “War” or “Judgementall Hai Kya” or “Good Newwz”?
This will either be unanimous or contentious and I just don’t know! There might also be some real winners/losers I don’t know about from the non-Hindi industries, feel free to throw them into the mix!
Continue readingHappy Birthday Farah Khan! What is the Best Farah Khan Song of the Past Decade?
Problem of course, there is no good record of who choreographed what songs. So these are the songs that, as best as possible, I have confirmed Farah did between 2010 and 2019.
Continue readingWorst Hindi Movie Title of the 2010s! “Hisss” or “Darr @ the Mall” or “I Hate Luv Storys” or Something Else?
Oooo, this is a challenging one! So many irritating creative spelling/grammer/Hinglish mixtures in this past decade. But which one is the WORST?
Continue reading2019 Awards: Best Love Song of 2019
Forget best song, that’s too hard. I’ll limit it down to just “best love song”. It was kind of an all over year for love songs, nothing immediately leaps out at me, which makes this a fun post!
Continue readingWednesday Malayalam: Virus, Collective Action for Collective Problems
Wooo, socialism! And more importantly, wooo-multi-starrer-style-films-to-tell-large-stories! Everything I hated about Mission Mangal and it’s whole “one man guiding the little women”, this film got right.
Continue readingResolutions Hindi Cinema Should Make for 2020: From Better Streaming Deals, to Finally Finishing Brahmastra
I have to say, Hindi Cinema could do a lot of things better! Like, as an industry. Terrible habits it has fallen in to of procrastination, laziness, and overspending. Here are some suggestions I am offering for what the industry as a whole should be doing.
Continue reading2019 Awards Post: Best Fictional Couple of 2019 Poll Post!
Surprisingly hard decision time! For a year with limited romance releases, there were a shockingly large number of good couples onscreen, from old stalwarts Kat-Salman and Juhi-Anil to newcomers Alia-Ranveer and Tiger-Hrithik.

Happy Wednesday! Boy it is hard to get through a whole week of work without a random holiday in the middle! Thank goodness I am going on many weekend trips in the upcoming weeks to cheer myself up.

Now that Ek Ladki Ko Dekha To Aisa Laga has broken the boundary, I want more MORE!!!! And I am looking back on some previous movies and realizing they really should have been Lesbian romances.
Continue readingMy Friend Got Married! Congrats to Her and Her Wife!!!!!
Isn’t this a happy thing? My friend/co-worker came in today and announced she was married over the weekend. They went to Vegas and had Elvis do it, and then played penny slots.
Continue readingHappy Birthday Irrfan Khan! What is Your Best Romance of the Decade, Lunchbox or Qarrib Qarrib Singlle or Piku?
A challenge for us all! Especially challenging since I haven’t seen Lunchbox yet. And since all of Irrfan’s performances are automatically charming and wonderful so it is hard to pick between.

Sonam gets a lot of grief for her acting, but boy does she pick fun scripts and co-stars! Her films in the past ten years are some of the funnest happiest ones out there.

I gotta sort this for us, he has A LOT of songs in the past ten years. But I will limit it down just to the ones I already really like, and if I miss a really good one, you can fill it in.

I was going to do “worst Akshay film of 2019”, but that loses so many great contestants like Toilet and Padman and Housefull 3. So I’m opening it up to the whole decade!

Continue readingMost Underserved Female Character of 2019 Award Poll Post, is it Alia in Kalank or the Entire Female Cast of Mission Mangal?
Where there is light, there most be dark. We had the surprisingly good female characters, now let us look at the surprisingly bad ones. Not the ones that were the focus of their movies that we knew would be bad, or the average lame heroine roles we are used to, but the ones that were surprisingly remarkably bad.

Happy Monday! I slept and slept and lazed and lazed and I have hopes of no longer feeling low energy and sick at work.

Shoot, I just wrote and posted Deepika’s 101 a few weeks back. And while she’s had good songs, that’s not where she shines the most so a “songs post” doesn’t really fit. But I think I can do a post talking about her best roles.
Continue readingSilly Sunday: Little Women as a Dark Romantic Drama! Laurie is Evil and Amy is Gay
Thanks Alisa! You saw the new American Little Women and complained about it which inspired me to rethink my Indian remake (already wrote it once here) when you suggested that one of the Little Women should get herself a Little Woman.
