Ever since I was a cute little girl and got introduced to killer sharks by my semi-misguided parents who thought it was ok to take a 2 year to a creature flick; I have sought out shark movies. I have watched the good ones viz Jaws, Deep Blue Sea, The Shallows and its rather limited ilk. I... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Karwaan
I'd like to start off by saying- Go watch it. It may not be something you'd want to watch again and again. But you'd like it if ,you did watch it just the once. This is what Karwaan isn't: It's not a screwball comedy a la It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World It's not... Continue Reading →
A Peppy Earworm
"Dale a tu cuerpo alegría Macarena Que tu cuerpo es pa' darle alegría why cosa buena Dale a tu cuerpo alegría, Macarena Hey Macarena" The offspring has been introduced to the joys of Macarena courtesy Hotel Transylvania-3. It was a silly movie with funky songs popping up at silly places but you know kids...they love... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Skyscraper
Will Sawyer is no John Maclane. And Skycraper is no Die Hard. But be as that may, it has the potential to be an entertaining movie despite having to live up to the rep of movies of the same ilk having scored BIG at the box office and becoming cult classics. There are mainly 3... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Raazi
Meghana Gulzar's making a name for herself in tackling the tough topics people talk about, wonder about but don't always want to dramatize for a Bollywood consumer; their usual diet being movie that have 5 songs, dancing on mountains and always a happy ending. With Raazi she achieves a narrative that doesn't falter, she touches... Continue Reading →
Backseat Diaries
MLM and I went to see Antman&Wasp today. We'd made plans ever since we saw the trailer online but I had some unexpected travel come up and the movie date got pushed back. It's a testament to his affection that he waited to see the movie with me. Of course his father wasn't keen on... Continue Reading →
Book Review: The MEG Series
I love watching creature movies. Not the Creature From The Black Lagoon kinda movie, but creatures like dinosaurs, sharks (Oooh! I love shark movies), crocodiles etc. I draw the line at snakes but that's just good sense! When I saw the trailer for the movie MEG, I did what I usually do...I jumped to Wikipedia...

Movie Review: Veere Di Wedding
I almost didn't watch this movie. Kareena Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor aren't quite the draw for me personally. Add to it, the reviews had been less than stellar and I didn't want to watch a badly made chick-flick when I could use those 2 hours to sleep or read instead...color me pleasantly surprised! Now this movie... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety
First question? Why did I watch it and 2) Why am I bothering to review it either? Answers: 1) My kid's school still hasn't opened so am just gasping for things that distract me and we're both (mother and son) tripping on Bom Diggy Diggy song from the movie so why not? 2) I just...

Movie Review: Blackmail (2018)
A madcap black comedy that's refreshing amongst the usual Bollywood shtick of songs and dance-that's Blackmail for you. But before I lavish too much praise on it, the movie does suffer towards the end with too-much-a-good-thing syndrome in the form of the same idea being circulated once too many times to keep being interested. Scroll... Continue Reading →
