FRIDAY CLASSICS

Steven Wright Special

Friday Classics: #Trishul ! #YashChopra and @SrBachchan create magic for a third time.

My favorite Yashji and Amitji’s film!  Not the best one, that I know, but my personal favorite. (more…)

#RangDeBasanti is great b/c of the opening section where "nothing happens" not in spite of it

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.

Valentine's Week of Sex: Why Women Fantasize, and Sanam Tere Kasam

This is NOT a review of Sanam Tere Kasam. Okay, the second half is. But the first half is just a discussion of female romantic fantasies, and it’s important, and you should read it even if you don’t care about the rest of it.
