Is that a spoiler? I guess it is a small spoiler. Because sometimes Jackie is hot, and sometimes he is a yuck old man. But in this film, HOT! Don’t know what magic pill they gave him, or maybe the pandemic was just very good for him in terms of making him look rested and healthy, but dude looks GOOD. Oh, and also there were other people in the movie and they were also okay. And the movie itself was clever and made me laugh. But Jackie, HOTTIE!

Saturday WatchAlong: Dushmani! 8am! For JACKIE!!!
Happy Saturday! And Happy Jackie Birthday Week! I have been talked into doing an ACTUAL Jackie movie, not just one of his modern ones where he has a little father role and nothing else.
Continue readingSaturday Morning WatchAlong: Dushmani!!! Y’All Convinced Me to Do Classic Jackie!!!! And It Just Hit Netflix!!!! 8am Chicago Time Tomorrow Morning!
See, the problem with Classic Jackie is that he is REALLY hard to find. Because, I think, Subhash Ghai is a gross rapist and therefore no one wants to work with him and his films aren’t streaming anywhere legally. Good news though, a NON Ghai Jackie film just hit Netflix! Jackie, Sunny, Deepti Naval, and Manisha Koirala. It must be good, right? Even if I have never seen/hear of it?
Continue readingWhat Should We Watch on Saturday Morning for Jackie? Bigil, Dhoom 3, Saaho, Bharat?
It’s Jackie’s Birthday Week! So we need to watch a Jackie movie on Saturday morning, right? And there are a handful I have considered that we have never watched together. And probably others out there I don’t even know about.
Continue readingRadhe Review (SPOILERS): Jackie Shroff in a MiniDress
I saw a new movie! In theaters! Like in Olden Times! And like in Olden Times, I am doing a whole separate “Spoiler” review just in case you want to watch it. If you don’t want to watch it, read this review anyway, I’m gonna get all deep about gender and Delhi versus Bombay and fun stuff like that.
Continue readingRadhe Trailers! Well, This is a Salman Movie All Right
In the crazy world of 2021, isn’t it nice to have a safe familiar relaxing Bad Salman Movie? Isn’t that alone enough to celebrate? If it was actually good, I would be yet another upsetting change in the regular scheme of life.
Continue readingMonday Morning Questions: What Do You Want to Ask Me the First Week of February????
Happy Monday!!! And Happy February!!!! And Happy I Am Totally Snowed In Day!!!! Albie Dog is so surprised on our walks, we get outside and he goes “wait, what happened to all the stuff? It’s just a bunch of boring white EVERYWHERE?!?!?”
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, One 2 Ka 4, Sexy Nonsense
Yet another movie I was sure I had reviewed! But I hadn’t. Oh well. Time to do it now!!!!
Continue readingShahrukh Birthday Countdown, Trimurti! Anil and Jackie and Shahrukh, Oh My!!!!
This is a perfectly pleasant lessor Subhash Ghai movie which also happens to have Shahrukh in an early role. But really it’s more of a Ghai film than an SRK film, only watch if you like Ghai.
Continue readingHappy Birthday Neena Gupta! A Challenge, Which is More Delightful, Young Neena Choli Ke Peeche with Madhuri, or Older Neena in a Sex Film with Jackie?
Neena Gupta! Such a fun person, and such a fun birthday idea I had. Two fabulous Neena-y performances, we get to discuss which one is more fabulous.
Continue readingMonday Morning Questions: What Do You Want to Ask Me on My Father’s Birthday?
Happy Monday! I had a productive weekend and Albie Dog had a bad weekend. Yesterday he had to survive both a bath, and me vacuuming the apartment. Life’s hard for a dog.
Continue readingHappy Juhi Day! Aaina, Where She Once Again Steals a Man from Amrita Singh
It makes no sense! I can barely get over the idea that Amrita Singh and Juhi Chawla would be fighting over Jackie Shroff (Even I have to admit that he does look good in a mustache), but why would Jackie Shroff ever be interested in Amrita Singh if he could get Juhi Chawla? She is so clearly superior!
Continue readingSaaho Review (SPOILERS): Why is Shraddha Bad at EVERYTHING???
Honestly, doesn’t matter if you read the spoilers or not. Might even help you enjoy the film more if you can follow the plot in advance. Although there is also something to be said for enjoying twists and seeing if you can guess them in advance of the reveal. If you like twists and stuff, read this review. If you get confused by twists and want the summary in advance so you can follow the plot, you can keep reading.
Continue readingSaaho Review (No Spoilers): An Unambitious Little Action Film with a MASSIVE BUDGET Shoved Inside
Well, that was ridiculous stupid fun! If you like explosions, love songs at famous tourist attractions, and lots of whistle worthy dialogues, this is for you. If you don’t…then what are you doing watching movies? Go off and read a book or something!
Continue readingFriday Classics: Khalnayak, Watching Sanjay is Like Watching a Baby Lion Hiding Among Cats
Oh my gosh is this an entertaining movie! I had forgotten how ludicrously ridiculously fun it is. Really, you should watch it! And it’s on Netflix!
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 readingHindi Film 101: The Shroff Family! In Honor of SOTY2
There 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 readingDiwali Repost! Lajja, Telling Sita’s Story From Multiple Directions
This movie is just barely a classic. It’s not the best, it’s got quite a few massive flaws in fact, but it’s still really interesting and worthy of discussion. And the best part is how well it shows women rescuing themselves, very appropriate for today’s discussion.
Random Saturday Discussion Post: Stars versus Their Younger Selves! Who Aged Better and Who Aged Worse?
This came up in a discussion on Friday’s post, the unquestionable truth that Shahrukh looks better the older he gets. And then the challenge became, what other stars aged into better looks than in their youth?
TGIF: Swimsuit Season!!!!!
I am seriously considering wearing a swimsuit tomorrow, and to mentally prepare myself, I am going to look at allllllllllllllllll the movie stars in their swimwear,
Friday Classics: Lajja, For International Women’s Day
This movie is just barely a classic. It’s not the best, it’s got quite a few massive flaws in fact, but it’s still really interesting and worthy of discussion. And the best part is how well it shows women rescuing themselves, very appropriate for today’s discussion.
Happy Birthday Amrita Singh! A Dozen Reasons I Love You!
Amrita Singh! She has such a fascinating life story that I can’t resist writing about her. And it’s her birthday, so why not?
Happy 22 Days to SRK’s Birthday! 22 Interesting Co-Stars
Happy Amitabh’s birthday again! And, because it is his birthday, I thought I would do a Shahrukh birthday post that could kind of work for Amitji too. So, co-stars!!!! Not in order in any way, just 22 that are interesting to think about.
TGIF: Men Lying Down
Okay, how can I say this classily? There is a certain kind of pose which seems to say “yes, climb on top of me and enjoy yourself”. That is the kind of pose that I am looking for this week. You know, so you can pretend you are kneeling on top of them throwing rose petals or something in a chaste and romantic manner. (I promise, next week will be something silly and innocent again! I don’t mean to be running a soft porn site, truly!)
I Am Moved In! I Know You Are All Curious How it Went
I am writing this in my new apartment on my new internet sitting on my old couch and facing my old TV, but with a new-to-me coffee table (rescued from the trash, where all the best furniture comes from). Also, a dishwasher! Anyway, I thought I would take a break from unpacking boxes to tell you how the move went, since I have been pestering you with posts about it.
