Lin-Manuel Miranda, Tony Awards, brilliant songs, forget all of that! Most important thing about this movie is the director, John M. Chu. Who previously directed Step Up 2: The Streets, AND Step Up 3D!!!! Finally, someone hired because they know how to make dance movies, not because they are a big name director.
Continue readingI 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 readingIt 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 readingWhat 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 readingI 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 readingYaaaaaaaaaaaay, a review of a new movie! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, a review of a movie I saw in theaters! Yay? A Salman movie?
Continue readingYou 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 readingWhat 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 readingWell, 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 readingHAPPY BIRTHDAY GENEVIEVE!!!! I got you just what you wanted, I watched Emma on Thursday and am reviewing it today. ENJOY!!!! (oh, and for other people, if you like gender issues and romance and pretty pretty pictures, you will enjoy this movie. It even has good songs!)
Continue readingYaaaaaay, 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 readingIsn’t it lovely that Feminist Horror Comedy is now an actual genre? Stree is of course the best of them, but Roohi is a not terrible addition.
Continue readingI already recommended the movie in my No Spoilers review. If you aren’t a rom-com person but still want to know what it’s about, or if you have already seen it and want to do an in depth discussion, this is the place!!!!
Continue readingAngie forced us all to watch it for her birthday, and then by golly I ended up enjoying it! So much so that I want to write a real review.
Continue readingDo you feel the need for a crazy nonsense plot, Rani being unbelievably cute, and Bobby Deol being a hilariously bad actor? This is the movie for you! Seriously, Bobby is falling off the couch laughing BAD.
Continue readingI am so happy, I have been wanting to see this movie for almost 20 years. Well “wanting”. Maybe “vaguely curious” that was transformed to “want” after it was forbidden to me by The Universe. And now The Universe has relented, and I have watched this movie, and I never have to see it again. And you never have to see it even once because I watched it for you!
Continue readingWell, this was harmless. A little dull, occasionally fun, mostly harmless. Just felt kind of light in the end, would have made more sense as a farce play.
Continue readingThank 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 readingOkay, it is entirely possible that only Popka and I have actually seen the TV show Agatha Raisin. But don’t worry, if you haven’t seen this then you have seen something similar where the authors created a Perfect romantic lead for the heroine and the end result is just really really dull.
Continue readingWoot! Anne of Green Gables!!!! I love this series, have loved it almost my entire life since my Mom first read it aloud to me when I was 6. And in many ways it defined my identity as a woman and my life goals, spoke to something no other text does. Mostly, it spoke to the beauty and happiness of every day woman’s work.
Continue readingOkay, 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.
Continue readingIf 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.
Continue readingI watched it! And boy, was that a slog! Not because it is a bad movie, just because I really really had to pay attention while watching it, and it is hard to find the time to really really pay attention to things.
Continue readingA happy positive Vidya Balan movie with a Cute Dude! If you say that isn’t your dream film, you are lying. Watch this! Be happy in life!!!!
Continue readingYes, after years of resistance, I finally saw it, because my parents tied me down and made me watch it. And it is very very good, I never doubted that, but it also made me think, which is exhausting. Thinking, BLEH!
