Thank goodness, I saw this movie with a friend so we could giggle and whisper together through it. Only way to make it an enjoyable experience! If you want to go, for sure go with a friend. Or else wait for streaming and do a virtual watch with a friend.
Continue readingI did it! I watched ’83! And I spent the whole time feeling like they are expecting me to have WAY more knowledge of Cricket than I actually have. Also, interest in.
Continue readingOMG, this is such a FUN movie! You know? Like, it’s just fun to watch! No stress, no hangups, pure joy. Even ends with an end credits song literally saying that, all about returning to dance and song and joy. You should 100% watch it and NOT read the SPOILERS review until you do. Or do read it, it’s also a movie where 99% of the joy is in the spectacle, not the plot.
Continue readingThank you everyone for forcing me to watch this! It was lovely and warm and heartfelt, and completely unexpected. Nothing played out the way I thought it would and that was really nice.
Continue readingHere 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 readingI did it! I saw a new movie, in theaters, with friends! And it was a Bhansali movie too, the WORST kind of movie.
Continue readingOh boy, Spoiler section! For everyone else who’s already seen the movie like me and has Thoughts!
Continue readingIf you like crazy over the top amoral Telugu movies, this is for you! Personally, I DO like those movies. I’ll write a whole review below, and you should read it if you’ve never tried Telugu action before, but if you have, and you know what I mean by “amoral” and you will know if you enjoy it. Just go ahead and watch! Skip this review!
Continue readingThis was our watchalong movie last week, but I know not everyone got to join. And anyway, it’s fun writing reviews! So here is my review.
Continue readingWhat a surprisingly good movie! Not perfect, there’s a dodgey bit in the middle that I might fastfoward in future, but the rest of it is very VERY good. Especially Vaani’s performance.
Continue readingWhat a surprisingly good movie! Not perfect, but my favorite Ayushmann Issue Movie so far. Because it isn’t an Ayushmann movie actually, it’s Vaani’s movie and she is wonderful in it.
Continue readingYaaaaaay,. the spoilers review! So we can all talk about it in detail, and how much we liked it, and how clever it was.
Continue readingWhat a nice film!!! And, most importantly, it is dubbed in English plus all major Indian languages on Netflix. So you can watch it with your kids! Finally, someone is smart enough to see the value in that.
Continue readingYaaaaay, a review of a new movie! That I really really liked!!! With people in it that I really really like, and also Akshay. Although here Akshay is reminding me why I used to like him.
Continue readingThis is such a delightful throwback! No big social statements, at least none that are underlined and highlighted, no misunderstandings or stupid complications, no real “villain” even for most of the plot. It’s just about two people being in love and figuring things out. And yes, it is sort of weird and surreal in the way it does it, but at the same time it is the most grounded romance film I have seen in a long time. Oh, and it uses Akshay perfectly, and makes me respect him as an actor for taking this small but difficult role.
Continue readingWelp, not a great movie! I can describe the plot in about 3 sentences, no twists or surprises, and just not the best way to bring up the questions it wants to bring up. But I want to bring up those questions! So this is a review/discussion post.
Continue readingWell, this was a cute harmless movie with a few good moments, but ultimately kind of a mess. It’s one thing to be Masala, it’s another thing to just be tonally mushy.
Continue readingHa! This whole thing turned out to be the same lesson my parents always told me, “you have to live together before you get married”. It’s TRUE!!!! You get through all the horrible messy angry stuff before you make that lifelong commitment and then you know you really want that lifelong commitment.
Continue readingWhat a good movie! Yes, the end totally fell apart, but it bravely confronted all kinds of big scary issues along the way. Read on if you won’t have the chance to see it, are not interested in a romance film, or are interested but need to be spoiled first so you can relax and enjoy it.
Continue readingWoot! It’s a Love Story! The title did not tell a lie. It’s not the best most satisfying love story I have ever seen, but it is for sure a love story. If you are considering seeing it, I will warn you now that the end bit is EXTREMELY stressful. And I give you the option of finding out what happens even in this No Spoilers review if you just can’t relax and enjoy a movie with that kind of stress.
Continue readingThere’s really not much to spoil here. A lot happens, and yet I didn’t really care about any of it? And I suspect every viewer would feel the same way.
Continue readingHuh! This actually felt like a TV movie! Somehow gentler, cheaper, slower, more friendly to commercial breaks and distracted viewing. But very pleasant for what it was, more pleasant and easy than some of the Movie-Movie versions.
Continue readingAnjaam! Bonkers bonkers movie, amazing songs, baby SRK and Madhuri, and a ton of 90s fashion.
Continue readingI am SO EXCITED to finally write this spoilers review so we can all gab together about this movie and the various slight oddities in it.
