Here I am, trying to make this movie into some kind of logical narrative. A well-nigh impossible endeavor!
Continue readingI watched this whoooooooooooooooooooooooole movie, and the biggest question I came out with was, is it that Prabhas can’t find pants that fit him? Or does he not WANT pants that fit him?
Continue readingHappy Saturday! Grandpa is all better, the old man just likes to make sure we are paying attention sometimes. Sigh. Anyway, my parents are exhausted after three days at the hospital, and I am exhausted after three days of feeding myself and being bored, so we are going to take it easy and enjoy life today.
Continue readingHappy Saturday! I have big plans today, to do NOTHING!!! Last Saturday I ran a million errands and was extremely productive (took my car in, got a flu shot, went to the library, and brought in a strap to a shoe repair place). This Saturday I did our morning watchalong then drove over to pick up the strap at the shoe repair place and now I am DONE.
Continue readingIt’s Edgar Rice Burroughs birthday! He wrote the Tarzan books, which I love. And he is from Chicago, which makes him even better. And a distant connection was married to his great great grandson, who was completely boring and respectable and Old Money since the family kind of forgot all their wealth came from cheap dime novels after a few generations.
Continue readingSurely, this will be a long list, won’t it? Any time you are watching a movie going “ooo, the two ‘best friend’ characters really have great chemistry”. Tell us about them!
Continue readingIt’s Prakash Raj’s birthday! What a nice man he is. Seems generally hard working, respectful, and decent. Produced out of his own pocket a movie about AIDs, speaks up and says the politically unpopular thing, and everyone likes him and wants to work with him.
Continue readingWoo-hoo, discussion post!!!! I love discussion posts. Because then you all DISCUSS! While I maybe go back and take another nap after a weird exhausting weekend.
Continue readingBaaghi 3 looks very bleak and angry and violent. Baaghi 1, surprisingly not any of those things! Just a happy love story, with a bit of a love triangle on top of it, that leads to a lengthy martial arts (not guns) ending fight scene.
Continue readingPersonally, I think I land on Fun/Bad. But go into it with an awareness that it might just land on “bad” for you.
Continue readingIt’s weird, but today is ice cream day? Even though it’s cold outside?
Continue readingWhat a delightfully silly inconsequential movie. There is no real “reason” to watch it, besides it just making you smile. Oh, and yes, as I was told, Prabhas’ rough voice saying “darling” is indeed addictive and delightful.
Continue readingHappy birthday Prabhas!!!!! May you never learn how to act your age, I want you to be a permanent sweet boy.
Continue readingIt’s the Jewish New Year, and the calendar New Year is coming in a couple months. What do we want from 2020 in Indian film?
Continue readingHonestly, 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 readingWell, 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 readingI am a deep believer in the “God has a plan” theory and also the “Butterfly effect” theory. Meaning that I don’t like to make big wishes for fear they will come true and somehow mess with The Universe. But I think the following small wishes should be safe and not permenantly damage anything. Join me in combining our powers to Make Them So!
Continue readingFinally, a full length trailer! This will answer all our questions and make sense of everything. Or, not so much.
Continue readingWell, we have a song that openly imitates every other club song ever, and a trailer that openly imitates every space movie ever. Hurrah for Indian ingeniuity (I’m grumpy this morning).
Continue readingWhat a lovely thing to wake up to! And now I get to share it with you all. Most important thing to know, SUBTITLES! Even on the little teaser, even just as it is released. I am now in love with these producers.
Read moreI’m sleeeeeeeeeeeeeepy. Was up until 1am last night writing Bharat reviews. And now it is really hard to get my brain to work. So I will do things that require no thought, and might also give me a shot of imaginary caffeine (no real caffeine today, which is also causing sleepies and headache and general bad mood). Let’s imagine all these hot men are offering me coffee!
Continue readingIs that title clear? I feel like it is a genre that we are all aware of, but maybe it is just me and my sister and Angie in the comments. Doesn’t have to be longingly and lustfully, but also doesn’t NOT have to be longingly and lustfully.
Continue readingTwo little stories, which are both important enough to merit discussion. But not, like, a lot of discussion. From me that is. You can discuss all you want, I’m just saying this is going to be a short post.
Continue readingMy friend who is in library school has hit an academic stumbling block, so to encourage her I thought I should do a theme post. Sexy Librarians!
Continue readingThis is a very silly idea, but sometimes I like silly ideas. In honor of Audubon Day (Audubon being a famous bird portrait painter), here are a bunch of Indian movie stars with Birds.
