Get Well Soon Mrs. Perfect!
So long as you are stuck at the hospital, I want you to have good things to read and watch and think about! I hate that feeling when sickness stops you from living your life, but the nice side is that you get an excuse to drop out of life for a while and live in fantasy.
Tuesday Telugu: Something Something, A Pleasant Farce with a Bad Heroine
Did anyone notice I missed last week? This was supposed to go up on Thursday, and then it got overwhelmed by Section 377 celebrations so I bumped it to today. And next week I am skipping again, sort of, because there will be the Kabali Rerun (watch it before Tuesday so you can join the discussion!).
Thursday Telugu Advanced Warning! Watch Something Something, That Will Be the Review Next Thursday
Attention Attention Attention! I watched Something Something and was going to review it today, and then Section 377 knocked it right off the schedule. So I decided to move it out a week and give you all advance warning, in case you wanted to watch it before I reviewed it. It’s on Prime, the review will go up sometime on the 9/13.
Kerala Floods Report/Donation
We get so much joy out of Kerala films, we really should give more back to those whose culture and society has helped create them.
TGIF 2: Additional Chocolate Heroes!!!! The Special Limited Edition High Demand Options
Sorry! Work was NOT FUN today, so I didn’t get quite as complete and extensive as I should have in my original Chocolate heroes post. Which just gives me an excuse for an additional post, with the extra special ones, the imported handcrafted special fillings ones (I may have to dig my emergency chocolate box out of the freezer tonight).
Monday Malayalam: Kammara Sambhavan (SPOILERS) History is Disgusting
Okay, spoiler time! I am doing a separate SPOILER review not so much to avoid spoilers (it’s not exactly that kind of movie, the plot is so intricate you can’t spoil it entirely), as because the film is so complex, I needed a moment to deal with just the general themes and structure and ideas (the No SPOILERS post) before I could get into the details of what technically happens.
Friday Classics: Happy Independence Day! Rang De Basanti
Oh boy, I really do not want to write this post! But it was a special request, and it really feels like something I HAVE to do the Friday before Independence Day. But I refuse to watch this movie one more time (ha!) because it makes me way way too sad. So be aware, this will all be based on memories from like 4 years ago, the last time I felt masochistic enough to watch it. (I’ve written on this film before, and promised then that it wouldn’t be the last post. You can read it here)
Bommarillu: What If Parents Are Allowed to be Part of the Love Story?
I finally watched Bommarillu! The movie that I was told is like Boys, and like Happy, and like Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana, only better. And it really was better! Or at least just as good.
Boys: Don’t Make Me Be a Teenager in Love in India!!!
Attakathi, Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya, Premam, and now this, they all have very similar content, the kind of content I don’t really see in American film, or even in Hindi films that much. The struggles and pain of being in love, and not being of an age for it. It isn’t something American movies deal with, maybe because it isn’t an issue in the same way in America? At least, not any more.
Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana: So Cute! A Childhood Love Story Between Teenagers
I knew this movie was a big deal, and I knew it was inspired/related to Maine Pyar Kiya. But I didn’t know how innocent it would be! Innocent like Maine Pyar Kiya, but even more so.
