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 readingYaaaaay, Street Dancer 3D!!!! The movie I left work early to see opening day and regret NOTHING. It is everything I could want from a dance themed story of diaspora identity struggle. Okay, not everything, there could be a little more romance.
Continue readingWooo, Street Dancer 3D!!!! Finally the day has arrived. Varun Dhawan’s body make-up, be warned! The snark is coming!
Continue readingKalank! 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 readingWoo-hoo, a Shahrukh movie! And a good/bad one, so we will neither be distracted by being in love with him, nor bored by how terrible the film is. Oh, also Varun Dhawan, the Birthday boy.
Continue readingHappy Birthday Varun!!!! Another year ahead of you, so many opportunities and decisions and exciting things coming your way. And I have Thoughts as to what you should do next.
Continue readingWoot! Friday MOVIE!!!!! Best time of the week. Extra special this week, because it is our first Shahrukh film. Prove your love for him! Join us in worship and ignore your families!
Continue readingReady for pandering? Let’s look at cute animal photos! And also Varun. We ranked him with co-stars, now let’s rank his chemistry with animals.
Continue readingHe doesn’t have that much variation in the looks, but there is some there! At least enough for us to be judgemental (it doesn’t take much).
Continue readingOh the excitement! Oh the adventure! Oh the variety! Which brightly colored good dances no tragedy happy ending Varun Dhawan film shall we watch????
Continue readingYou 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 readingHappy Varun Week! What a delightful celebration we shall have. Thank goodness Varun’s filmography is almost 100% light and happy. Not necessarily “good”, but definitely light.
Continue readingYes, it is Varun Dhawan’s birthday week! Which I think means our Friday movie has to be a Varun movie, don’t you?
Continue readingI am very excited about this! When you add it all up, you can give all the characters a happy ending, if we just make them all Bi. And they are high school kids after all, hormones everywhere, Bi is more likely than not.
Continue readingWoo-hoo! A new Humpty Sharma review! For those of you who really really love this movie. Or at least tolerate those of us who really really love this movie.
Continue readingI’m home, I’m eating oreos in my PJs, it’s time to treat myself to writing fanfic. Woo-hoo! Margaret Party Time!
Continue readingPlot? 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 readingIf 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 readingOn Friday I reposted my ridiculously long Baar Baar Dekho review. Today, I’m reposting another early review where I went the other way, my surprisingly short Dilwale review! Anyway, it’s a happy family and love Christmas film, totally deserves to be remembered the day before the day before Christmas!
Continue readingI am off to my father’s birthday party tonight, so no time to write a fanfic today. Instead, enjoy a rerun of father themed stories!
Continue readingDo we keep coming up with same-sex romances because they are sexy, or because it is a gap that can only be filled by fanfic and not reality? Or both? Anyway, here are two more of those thingies.
Continue readingLast one! Shortest one, I think. Just a few quick stories about potential next films for up and coming talents we haven’t seen in a while.
Continue readingAfter reviewing a bunch of fun light movies, I am going to go super dark all of a sudden. Brace yourself!
Continue readingThis is a very silly, very fun, very stupid movie. It may not be as brilliant and complex as some other films, but by golly the time just flies by while you are watching it! Oh, and this review needs some formatting fixes, I’ll do it soon, I just want to throw it up quick now before I take the dog for a walk.
Continue readingWell, 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.
