Anonymous just mentioned in a comment that Karan should hire the same PR professionals that Shahrukh is using, and that got me thinking about what I would do, were I to be hired by Karan.
Continue readingAw, Doris Day died. I watched so many of her movies, and listened to so many of her songs when I was young. She is Hollywood, not Indian, but I feel like in many ways in spirit she was part of Indian films.
Continue readingThis should be a fun week. All Hindi, which makes me feel a little guilty, but then it’s Madhuri day. She has earned her own day even if it means the southern industries get a little shortchanged.
Continue readingNothing super duper interesting here, just stories that are continuations of other stories, or else rumors of things that won’t happen. But it’s Monday, we need things to talk about!
Continue readingFirst time I have tried this, the cheap plane tickets meant my flight isn’t until this evening, so it just kind of makes sense to work from her house. But I don’t know, working from somewhere else? Trying to focus on work stuff like family is right there? It all seems difficult.
Continue readingI am guessing the overlap between Shahrukh fans/Netflix watchers/Tubelight watchers is very very limited. But for those of you who are familiar with all three, hopefully you (like me) are thinking “YES! That would be perfect!!!”
Continue readingSuch a good movie! I keep waiting for it to become a cult classic, for more people to discover it, but so far it seems to still be forgotten by the world. But I will try to help by making it my Mother’s Day pick!
Continue readingI was laying in bed this morning thinking about waking up and somehow an old movie that I watched years ago kind of drifted into my mind and I suddenly thought “hey! That would make an excellent and interesting Indian remake for Mother’s Day”.
Continue readingFinally watched it! After having heard about it for years and years and years and years (the soundtrack is everywhere). And I’m kind of glad I waited, because this way I got to come at it having already seen a bunch more Gautham Menon movies and having a bit more of an idea of what he does.
Continue readingHappy Saturday! I am at my sister’s house and the days are kind of getting a little bit away from me. In a fun way! I saw Student of the Year 2 at the earliest possible show yesterday, and then we were off doing things for hours and I didn’t get to write my review until the evening. Oh well.
Continue readingI am so excited to write this review! This is one of those films that is structured so well, summarizing it is a joy. You shouldn’t read this review if you plan to see the film in theaters, there are some nice little flourishes that are fun to be surprised by. Read this no spoiler review instead. But on the other hand, if you are on the fence, this review might actually reassure you? The plot is more interesting than you think.
Continue readingIf this is the kind of movie you like, you will like this movie. It was never going to be great realistic drama, it was always going to be light and fluffy. But if you are capable of enjoying light and fluffy films, this is one of the better ones.
Continue readingI kind of skipped TGIF last week I think. I did the Star Wars post that was basically TGIF, but on Saturday. I’m doing it this week because I am on vacation an TGIF is pretty easy and quick to throw together. But maybe I skip again? I don’t know, when there are comments TGIF is really fun and good, but when there are no comments, the post just kind of lies there.
Continue readingAn anonymous commenter (sorry! If you identify yourself in the comments, I will thank you!) posted a link to this article and I finally sat down and read it. It not only gives an extremely similar story to Hrithik-Kangana, only not between celebrities so it is easier to be objective, it also gives information on stalking behavior from psychiatrists and police experts.
Continue readingThank you Angie! This is a great idea. A list of movies about to release in theaters that I recommend. Hopefully it helps more of you see movies in theaters! It’s the best way, and also the best way to keep new movies coming out 🙂
Continue readingThis post comes to you from the gate at the airport as I wait for my boarding group to be called, so it will be very short. But still a nice thing for you all to talk about while I am in the air!
Continue reading6am flight tomorrow! Cab at 4am, I plan to wake up at 3:45. I already have all my clothes laid it, in the order in which I will put them on, so I don’t have to think about anything.
Continue readingOh boy, I get to recap the whole Hrithik-Kangana thing again! The only good thing is, I was team Hrithik from the start (go me!) because Kangana’s story was always just WEIRD, and his wasn’t. So I get a little ego-boost each time it comes up again. But that is literally the ONLY good thing. Otherwise, it is all stressful and exhausting and strangely repetitive. I would much rather go back to Kangana’s weird work issues than digging up her work-personal issues.
Continue readingHappy Wednesday!!!! I’m having one of those long slooooooooow work weeks. Too much to do, so they days go by fast, but I am exhausted at the end. Oh well, half way through!
Continue readingThe best movie, I really truly think, is the one I will be reviewing on Sunday, Pari. It gets at the pain and sacrifice and terror of motherhood in a really visceral way. But these are all good too, if you want to sob and sob about the misery of being a mother.
Continue readingThis is such a good movie, SUCH a good movie! So good that I blocked it out of my head because it was also disturbing. But beautiful. And somehow the audience didn’t embrace it and not as many people saw it as it deserved. So I am going to try remedy that. Oh, and hey! Mother’s Day! It’s actually a perfect Mother’s Day movie.
Continue readingAnother SOTY2 song? This one might be my favorite in every way, but I am still kind of tired of them all. On the other hand, the Ekta Kapoor Mental Hai Kya statement is FASCINATING.
Continue readingThere is just barely enough between Jackie and Tiger to patch together a 101. But still worth doing! For Jackie in particular, he is an odd odd man.
Continue readingI am guessing the overlap between Shahrukh fans/Netflix watchers/Tubelight watchers is very very limited. But for those of you who are familiar with all three, hopefully you (like me) are thinking “YES! That would be perfect!!!”
Continue readingPart 2! Not that these are less important stories, I just happened to write about them second.
