Mimi Review (No Spoilers): Nice Light Loving Movie, Surprisingly Little There-There
Well, now I see why so many of you said that I shouldn’t be afraid to watch this movie. It is very pleasant, very light, doesn’t really make you super feel anything. So if you want a real tearjerker deep version of a surrogate story, don’t watch this. But if you want a pleasant timepass that is unobjectionable, this is a nice one.
Continue readingToofan Review (SPOILERS): Let Us All Sympathize With the Poor Bigot! The Fragile Bigot! Who Cannot Handle New Ideas or He Will EXPLODE!!!!
It’s true, the movies have shown me. The old white man in America who has to painfully and carefully learn that, maybe, not all racism is good. Poor Lord Crawley in Downton Abbey who has to consider that maybe class distinctions are sometimes unfair. And of course all the Hindu patriarchs in Indian films who have to suffer being told that, sometimes, maybe, non-Hindus and women have a right to live.
Continue readingHaseena Dillruba Review (SPOILERS): Well, This Went DELIGHTFULLY Over the Top!!!!
What a RIDICULOUS movie! Which knew perfectly well it was ridiculous. If you can’t handle tension and twists and thrillers, read this review to just know the basics of what happened and talk about it with us. Or if you saw it and have Thoughts, you can read my summary and my thoughts and then we can talk!
Continue readingHaseena Dillruba Review (No Spoilers): The Funnest Kind of Sexy Trash
Super fun movie! If you like black comedy and thriller twists, you will like this. It’s also a lot lighter than you might thing, the tone never shifts into depression and misery, it’s all just mystery and surprises and ridiculousness. On the other hand, if you don’t like twists and black comedy, maybe not.
Continue readingPagglait Review (SPOILERS!): A Woman Empowers Herself By Becoming a Man?
I don’t love this movie. Be warned! I also don’t hate it. So this won’t be one of those fun reviews where I get mean. This will be more of a “huh, why didn’t it work for me?” boring review.
Continue readingPagglait Review (No Spoilers): Somehow This Doesn’t Quite Come Together?
I watched this because y’all told me it was good, and I was curious anyway. And then, I don’t know, it just didn’t work for me.
Continue reading99 Songs Review (SPOILERS): Why Do Lovers Never Just TALK to Each Other?
It took me a bit to get around to writing my second review, but hopefully that gave you more time to watch the movie and join me in appreciating it!
Continue reading99 Songs Review (No Spoilers): For People Who Like Songs and Emotions and NO LOGIC
What a silly silly movie! It’s like Fitoor crossed with Mirzya crossed with Aashiqui 2 crossed with Half-Girlfriend. But oh boy are the songs GOOD. And also, sometimes you just want a really silly silly illogical over the top romance movie.
Continue readingTime to Dance Review (SPOILERS): What a Joyless Dance Film
I didn’t think it was possible, but somehow there is a dance film that doesn’t bring me happiness.
Continue readingTime to Dance Review (No Spoilers): Makes Student of the Year 2 Look Like Shakespeare
You think “it’s a dumb dance movie! I know it will be bad, no biggie, I have seen dumb dance movies before”. But, you have no idea! It’s so SO bad! The greatest value in it, is that it makes you appreciate the high comparative quality of other dance movies.
Continue readingAjeeb Daastaans Review (SPOILERS): Nothing Goes the Way You Expect it to Go
What a great concept for a short film collection! Take a story we think we know, and then turn it into something totally different just when we think we know what is happening.
Continue readingAjeeb Daastaans Review (No Spoilers): Do Not Think You Know Where These Movies Are Going
Well, this was a FASCINATING collection of short films! I highly highly recommend it. Except for the 2nd film which might have been the most interesting, but also has something happen in it that is so bad I suspect it will be triggering for some of you. I’ll SPOIL it at the end of this review so you can decide for yourself and be warned. Even if you can’t watch that movie, you can still watch the other 3!!!!
Continue readingRoohi Review (SPOILERS): The Superheroine Origin Story I Always Wanted and Never Knew It!!!!
Yaaaaaay, a SPOILERS review!!!! If you just don’t have the energy to watch this movie but are curious about it anyway. Or if you can’t do horror but want to know what it is like. Or if you have seen it and are DESPERATE to discuss. But if you like horror comedies with a feminist message, you can also save this as a special treat and NOT read this review.
Continue readingSilly Sunday: Charles Sobhraj Inspired Netflix Miniseries Starring SRK and Katrina Kaif
Great, Netflix finally does a Charles Sobhraj miniseries like I have been wanting, but there is only a little bit of Sexy Desi Cop which was my MAIN requirement for a Charles Sobhraj miniseries! I mean, there is still some sexy desi cop, split between two separate sexy cops, but it’s not the main storyline like it would have been in my more fictionalized version.
Continue readingNetflix Series The Serpent Review (With Spoilers)
Well, “spoilers”. I’m only going to be discussing the high points of the story, the reasons it is such a consistent big story even today. So if you know the name “Charles Sobhraj”, then this review will not spoil anything.
Continue readingThe Big Day Discussion Space: How Was It, Did You Believe in Love, Did You Believe in Expensive Weddings, Other Thoughts?
I have not seen it and I probably won’t see it. Life is too short! I like my happy dumb movies at my friends movie nights and our watchalongs, and then doing puzzles the rest of the time. However, just because I haven’t seen it doesn’t mean we can’t talk about it! In fact, it means I want you to talk more, tell me alllllllllllllll about it. And then tell each other about it and have conversations and stuff too!
Continue readingThinky Post: The Internet, Patterns, Conspiracy Theories, and Reality
Oh boy, a thinky post! Inspired by the really interesting new Cecil Hotel documentary on Netflix. It is less of a true crime story, and more of a “who are the people who are obsessed with true crime and why” story.
Continue readingClass, Work, and Relationships Inspired by Sir (Is Love Enough)
Thank you all for nagging and nagging me to watch this! And also, thank you for being understanding that I wanted to wait until I could watch it with a friend and be happy.
Continue readingWhite Tiger Discussion Space
I really really don’t want to see this movie. So, I’m not gonna! No matter how much you ask me to! But I will put up a post space for those of you who did see it to discuss.
Continue readingTribhanga Review (SPOILERS): Possibly TOO Tragic
Okay, this is the review to read if you don’t want to see the movie but are curious. Or if you have seen the movie wand want to discuss it.

If you are considering watching this movie and want a sense of what it is like before making your decision, I am here for you! If you have seen this movie and want to talk about it, wait a second, I’ll be putting up another post in a second.

Wow, this is going to be surprisingly hard! I started just thinking about AK vs AK, and then I started to remember all the others.
Continue readingAK VS AK Review (SPOILERS): I Made Notes! Every Reference Explained and Analyzed!
This is such a brilliant movie, and the more you know about it, the more you see how brilliant it is. Luckily, I just took a couple headache pills and the caffeine is going to keep me up all night, so I can tell you how brilliant it is!
Continue readingSaturday Small Talk: Chat Away While I Do Final Christmas Prep
Happy Saturday! I am right on schedule, time to do the final apartment clean and wrap presents, then go back to my parents and make a gingerbread house. I don’t know if we actually want to make a gingerbread house, but it is on the list of Christmas Activities I wrote up back in November, so we have to.
