I put up that discussion post two weeks ago, and then realized it was already too late. With the slow shipping times currently and the impossibility of shopping in stores, plus my foot limiting what I am able to do, I didn’t have many options. Anyway, I did the best I could!
Continue readingHappy Birthday Grandpa! 99 years old today! Which is, I think, the longest anyone in our family has ever lived. At least, that we know about 🙂
Continue readingI am excited about this plan! Partly because I have reviewed almost all of them already so this will be very little work. But also because, Shahrukh! Happiness!
Continue readingShankar! Totally bonkers visuals, very reductive view of relationships. Makes for movies that don’t really work for me as a whole, but very fun little mini movie song sequences. Especially since he usually partners with AR Rahman.
Continue readingI’ve reposted this review a bunch of times, but turns out that I never added on the “no spoiler” part to a repost before. So, yaaaay! Something to read if you are deciding if you want to watch this movie and don’t want to be spoiled! And then spoilers after the SPOILER bar, if you do want to be spoiled.
Continue readingHappy Birthday Courtney! You are turning some ridiculously young age today (24 maybe?) and are still one of the babies of the blog, so I am indulging you accordingly. Pwesents! And it took me a bit to finish making them, that’s why this post wasn’t at midnight like I wanted. Sorry!
Continue readingHappy Birthday Kajol! I love you, even if not everyone does. And I think not everyone does because maybe not everyone remembers what you used to be.
Continue readingLook at that! One year and a day ago, I was on the phone with my sister watching a movie together and timing contractions. And now we’ve got this kid with a million teeth in his mouth and opinions about beets.
Continue readingOh boy! This is gonna be hard. Sure, it’s easy to pick the one that goes on top, but how do you order the rest of them?
Continue readingThis isn’t a gift for Katrina in that she can read about her life, she knows her life. This is to make everyone who reads it a little more sensitive and respectful towards her. I know that was my experience writing it, I went from being neutral on Katrina to truly respecting her.
Continue readingHappy Saturday/My Mom’s 70th Birthday!!!! I put up a special post just for her earlier today which is not getting the traffic/comments that I think it deserves. WARNING: I am putting up a post for my sister’s birthday tomorrow and that one REQUIRES comments! The whole point is to get y’all to comment. So be ready!
Continue readingMy Mom’s turning 70 TODAY!!!!! We have big fun things planned, including strawberry shortcake for dessert and going for a nice drive. And as a bonus, I thought I would put out some things that happened in my mother’s life that I find astounding. Some of you may have experienced them as well, some of you may have heard of them, and some of you may have no idea such things ever happened.
Continue readingI really should write a 101 on Guru Dutt, or at least review Kaagaz Ke Phool, but right now I just don’t feel like it. If I get the urge, I will. I do want to mark his birthday SOMEHOW though, so here is my Pyaasa review.
Continue readingLet us accept that both Arjun’s are good, no body-shaming here. We are merely discussing personal taste preference, the same way we would talk about vanilla versus chocolate ice cream.
Continue readingKarisma! An actress who can play a powerhouse dramatic lead, or a light comic star, or just a fun silly heroine, whatever is needed.
Continue readingSonam has a great instagram, happy light and fun. So of course for her birthday all kinds of people followed her happy fun lead and put up their own happy fun messages for her.
Continue readingHappy Birthday Sonam!!!!!! A day to celebrate the movies you helped get greenlit, and the actors you helped to highlight.
Continue readingDimple has been very lucky, to have one of the longest lasting movie star romances in Hindi film. But we don’t talk about it, because technically her boyfriend is married.
Continue readingPart 1 was all Dimple, and her love story with Rajesh and so on. This brings in the next generation, but I think that is fair, you can’t really understand or appreciate Dimple without understanding her daughter.
Continue readingI wrote this 3 years ago I think, so it’s a little out of date, but most of it is dealing with stuff from a long time ago anyway, so it’s not like it has changed any.
Continue readingHappy Birthday Shilpa! Not a great actress, not a lot of great movies, but very fun in songs. Just makes me happy.
Continue readingHappy Birthday Sonakshi Sinha!!!!!! Turning 33 today, wow! Did not realize she was that old. I guess it is because she has such a fun bubbly youthful spirit.
Continue readingIt’s Karan’s birthday! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!! And I thought it would be nice for us to celebrate by saying all the nice things we can think of about him.
Continue readingOh boy, this is gonna be hard! Not sure I can answer this exactly. But then, I shouldn’t expect you all to do it if I don’t at least try.
Continue readingLook how cool this is, a 13 year old cares about my blog! BollywoodNewbie’s obviously very sophisticated and intelligent son is turning 13, and I am celebrating the fact that I have a cool 13 year old boy who likes my blog enough to notice a birthday post!
