This is a really REALLY good script. Not the usual “obstacle, overcome, obstacle” sort of script, more a free floating series of events tied together by a central character conflict. And the character conflict is REAL. It’s not a “stupid people plot” reason, it’s a real life thing that is a real life problem. Until the end credits song which doesn’t even seem to fit with the depth of the rest of the film.

Half-Girlfriend Review (Spoilers): Feminism in a Pretty Package
I 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 readingHalf-Girlfriend Review (No Spoilers): Surprisingly Pleasant Little Romance!
Angie 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 readingSaturday WatchAlong: Baaghi! 7:30am Chicago Time Tomorrow (Saturday)
This is just one more reminder for y’all, because I put up the scheduling post two days ago and I am worried you will forget it.
Continue readingFriday WatchAlong: SATURDAY 7:30am!!! BAAGHI!!!! For Tiger and Shraddha
Really, it’s the perfect watchalong movie. So dumb, so fun, so sunny, such great songs and such a surprisingly hot villain. And there were slightly more votes for Saturday this week than for Friday, so we are doing Saturday!
Continue readingFriday WatchAlong: OK Jaanu! 3pm Friday! Prepare for the Sweetness!!!
Okay, I feel a little bad, because I am finally picking one of FilmiKudhi’s favorite movies, but I am doing it on a Friday afternoon. Oh well, we will make it work.
Continue readingFriday WatchAlong: For Shraddha Kapoor’s Birthday, Which Shraddha Movie Should We Watch?
Shraddha is just the perfect watchalong actress. You never have to think too deeply about her movies (except for Haider) and you can always talk over them (except for Haider).
Continue readingHappy Birthday Rajkummar, and 2 Year Anniversary of Stree!
So excited to share this review and discussion with those of you who just were able to watch the movie because of Netflix!
Continue readingSilly Sunday: Street Dancer 3D, the Way It Should Have Been!
We watched it on Friday, which was super fun. But also we got all upset about the half done love story and I started thinking about how I would have written it to have a whole other second half that gave a more satisfying love story structure instead of the very light weight plot with a lot of dance competitions instead of relationship drama.
Continue readingFriday WatchAlong! See Street Dancer 3D Right Here in 24 Hours!
Wooo, Street Dancer 3D!!!! Finally the day has arrived. Varun Dhawan’s body make-up, be warned! The snark is coming!
Continue readingEk Villain Review: Have You Ever Wondered What a Gritty Korean Horror Movie Crossed With an Idealistic Romance Would Look Like?
Thank you Angie for suggesting this! This movie is the perfect film to review quickly without needing to rewatch it. Because it is so slight and light, no need to rewatch. But still good enough I don’t mind reviewing! The sweet spot!
Continue readingHappy Varun Dhawan Week! Which of His Dances Brings Us Most Joy?
You ready for a challenge? I’m gonna pull out every big Varun dance song I can remember, and we have to rank them! Or at least, pick the one you love best (for those of you who don’t care as much).
Continue readingDiscussion Post: What Not Very Talented Actor Do We Irrationally Like?
I already did “not very famous”, but this is something slightly different. These people may or may not be famous, and they have no talent, but we like them anyway. Why???
Continue readingSunday Rerun: Baaghi 1! Watch it Instead of Baaghi 3!
Baaghi 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 readingSilly Sunday: Sequel to Hrithik-Sanya-Anil Movie, and a Shraddha-Varun Romance to Make Up for Street Dancer 3D
I’m home, I’m eating oreos in my PJs, it’s time to treat myself to writing fanfic. Woo-hoo! Margaret Party Time!
Continue readingSunday ReRun: Chhichore! A Nice College Comedy With A Surprising Ending
Well, that was a better movie than I expected! Not super duper great, but enjoyable and pleasant and well made with a very nice message. About a billion times better than Mission Mangal, for instance. And thus, deserving of a Sunday rerun post for those of you who missed it. Especially when Street Dancer 3D has us feeling all warm about Shraddha Kapoor.
Continue readingStreet Dancer 3 Review (SPOILERS): If I Say the Words “Shirtless Dance of Torment”, Are You In or Out?
Plot? Whoooooooo cares???? It’s all about the lights and the glamour and the big flippy things and so on. So read this review, you will still want to see the film anyway. Or not want to see the film if you are a hopelessly practical person who has no love for dance battles and learning lessons and that moment when the power goes out and there is no music but then magically they create their OWN music!!!! Also, the plot is hilarious so read my summary for the giggles.
Continue readingStreet Dancer 3D Review (No Spoilers): A Varun-Shraddha Love Story Wrapped Around a Dance Battle Wrapped Around a Prabhudeva Tribute
If you think this is the kind of movie for you, it is. If you don’t think this is the kind of movie for you, it isn’t. There are no surprises here, it is exactly as promised.
Continue readingThursday Telugu: Saaho! Is it Bad? Or Fun? Or Fun/Bad?
Personally, I think I land on Fun/Bad. But go into it with an awareness that it might just land on “bad” for you.
Continue readingChhichhore Review (SPOILERS): Why it Is Important To Talk Honestly To Your Kids About Your Life
I really really like the message of this movie! And it is a message that the trailers and advertisements for some reason didn’t make clear. I’m gonna spoil it in this post, but I honestly think that being spoiled might make you more interested in watching the film than going in unspoiled. But, you know, you do you! Read this review if you want to remain unspoiled.
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 readingTrailers! Chhichhore and Dream Girl!
Those aitches are going to kill me in Chhichhore, I will never be able to spell it correctly. On the other hand, Dream Girl is a breeze! Purely for my spelling abilities, I wish all movies had English titles.
Continue readingTrailers! Saaho Song and Mission Mangal Teaser
Well, 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 readingSaaho Teaser! Prabhas Looks Gooooooood!
What 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.
