This movie is so good! And interesting! And unique! And Sonakshi is amazing in it. Seriously, you should all watch it. And maybe not read this review, because it is crazy long.

Happy Birthday Sonakshi Sinha!!!!!! Turning 33 today, wow! Did not realize she was that old. I guess it is because she has such a fun bubbly youthful spirit.

Happy Saturday! I am back at my apartment, with Albie Dog, and my only plan for the weekend is to keep sorting books. It’s nice, sort of soothing activity that also feels vaguely productive.

Kalank! If you have a lot of time on your hands, a Prime subscription, and laundry to fold, this is worth watching. But not otherwise.
Continue readingWatched Kanan Gill’s Netflix Comedy Special and Curious About His Only Movie? Here is My Review of Noor Which is on Prime!
Well, shoot! This was not a great movie. After I spent all that time reading and thinking about the book, the film was just bleh. Kanan Gill was still amazing, but the rest of it really wasn’t worth it. Oh, and then the end credits song with Badshah and Diljit was fun too.

If you watched the trailer and thought “I think I can guess the entire plot of this movie”, you are correct! You can guess the entire plot of the movie. But if you watched the trailer and thought “I’m not sure, I want to see it and see what happens”, or if you skipped the trailer entirely, you can skip this review too and just read the “no spoilers” version instead.
Continue readingDabangg 3 Review (No Spoilers): Salman and Prabhudeva Are an Odd Mixture!
I saw it! 1:45pm show, me and 3 other people in the theater, and I kept falling asleep. No slight on the movie, just because I was in a warm dark quiet empty theater, and it’s been a long week.

Oh there is so much to talk about with today’s stories! Not the actual stories, they are the usual fake bland PR stuff, but what they mean and what we think about them and all KINDS of things!!!!

Such an interesting man! His background is interesting, his early career and strange accidental fame is interesting, and he remains interesting to this day. Not always successful, not always likable, but interesting.
Continue reading2010 Week: Dabangg!!!! 2010 Goes Out With a Surprisingly Progressive BANG!
This movie really really holds up. It’s a silly action film and it isn’t ashamed of that, but it also talks about caste, Polio, political use of religion, and other serious things that most films don’t discuss.

I finally watched it! After years of people telling me to watch it! It took long enough, but I did it.
Continue readingFemale Films Week: Akira, My Favorite Action Movie
This movie was so interesting! It really is just a southern action movie with the hero turned into a heroine. But at the same time, there were all of these things that are so specific to the female experience, and I just have to wonder, did the director look at them and think “Hey! I should remake this with a female star!” Or, were they added in when the hero became a woman?
Continue readingMission Mangal Review (SPOILERS): A Movie Too Dumb To Know It is Dumb
Blech! This was such a bad film! BLECH!!!!!!!!!! I just want to vomit thinking about it. You probably shouldn’t watch it.
Continue readingMission Mangal Review (No Spoilers): Akshay, SHUT. UP.
I think this might have been the most unpleasant movie I have ever watched. It was like having wooden stakes driven under my nails for 20 hours. Needless to say, I do not recommend it to you. And if you read my posts regularly, you know that it is a rare thing for me not to encourage you to see a movie, so take it seriously.
Continue readingKhandaani Shafakhana Review (SPOILERS): A Smart Woman Surrounded By Dumb People; A Smart Film Surrounded By Dumb Jokes
Such a frustrating film! There is about 40 minutes of a really good movie, and about 60 minutes of a stupid comedy kind of mushed together.
Continue readingKhandaani Shefakhani Review (No Spoilers): A Comedy That Wants to be a Drama
Well, this was a disappointing film. In that frustrating way where you can see the better film peaking through. It should have been a fairly decent drama, but instead they turned it into a terrible comedy. And I am a little extra disappointed because it is a female director writer and I suspect the story she wanted to tell got overruled by the male producers. A depressing but appropriate start to my Week of Women directors.

Finally, some interesting news stories! Money and stars and interesting things like that, instead of more casting rumors and created controversies (blech!).

I am mostly excited about the Jabariya Jodi trailer, but so long as I am talking about it, I might as well throw in the couple of new songs from other movies.
Continue readingSilly Sunday: Two More Noirs for Red Chillies! Leave Her to Heaven, and Murder My Sweet with Shahrukh. Plus Bonus Period Calcutta FanFic!
The problem with film noirs is that half the time they are more atmospheric than plot based. Makes it harder to remake them. I am going to remake another one with a good strong plot (Leave Her to Heaven), and another that I really love and which has a totally impenetrable plot (Murder My Sweet) but maybe also a role for Shahrukh. Oh, and that fanfic I wrote in the comments for Miss Briganza, in case anyone missed it. And this is a VERY LONG POST. But I hope you will read it, because there is good stuff in here.
Continue readingKalank Review (No Spoilers): The Plot is Not What You Think It Is
Well, that was fun!!!! If it had released 20 years ago, it would be a solid hit and forgotten in a month, and then it would pop-up on TV occasionally and people would say “oh yeah, that movie!” I don’t know how it will do in today’s world at the box office, but at least critically I want to treat it as the nice unambitious pleasant fairy tale it aspires to be, not as the Great Noble Brilliant Movie that it wasn’t even trying to be. I suspect other reviewers might ding it for not being the Great Noble Brilliant Movie they thing it should be without realizing it never wanted to be that.

Trailer time! All of this are old and late, but I don’t care, I still want to hear what you have to say about them.
