Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan (2020)
I love it!
Nicely developed ethos, logos and pathos 👍. At first the light tone and fast-pace took getting used to, but as I soon saw, the heavy subject matter was nicely intertwined with the 'shaadi ka drama' scenes. The brave screenplay just shines, especially the scenes where our heroes, Kartik and Aman stand up for themselves. Kudos to the filmmakers! 👍👍🌈
Alex Strangelove (2018)
Thumbs up!! Thank you for making this!
Love this movie! Seen it twice already ..both viewings brought out tears.
Better than Love, Simon in that it has a linear storyline, no uncharacteristic lying, and conveys the lead character's development so well 😍
Everwood: The Kissing Bridge (2002)
Hi Ephram... Ouch !!
As much as I like this series so far (I'm just at season 1, episode 4), I sometimes want to slap Ephram right across the face for having a chip on his shoulder and being so hostile towards his father! So.. do all doctors' sons really feel like that? Simply unable to accept that their parent may sometimes be absent due to the unpredictable nature of their work?? It's not like Dr.Brown was out in New York spending time with a mistress or a second family or something! I'm glad Greg Berlanti could come up with a clever and heartfelt drama like this, but Ephram is just too one-dimensional. And the way he acted out towards Amy in this episode.. gosh..! Snappy, sullen and sharp-tongued.. such a difficult boy!!! But of course, he's just a teenager and at that age supposedly unable to cope any better with what he's facing.. If I was also like this back then, how silly I must have looked :) Watching relational dramas like this makes me appreciate adulthood, lol.
Freaks and Geeks: Pilot (1999)
Good Stuff
Loved it! I just watched the Pilot episode today, after hearing Seth Rogen and James Franco mention it repeatedly during interviews :) Halfway into this Pilot episode, I already grasped the concept of the title 'Freaks & Geeks' and saw that Lindsay is the center of the show. Good writing too! The show captures the angst of one's teenage years well - a time of undergoing changes in our personality, which ultimately manifest via our external interaction and dynamics, as we face new situations sometimes seemingly beyond our coping :) Well made! Seth had sort of a John Travolta vibe back then (!) and great to see Jason Segel too! So glad to have this Judd Appatow brand of humour in Hollywood and see the Freaks & Geeks alumni doing well in cinema because they stayed true to themselves!
Breaking Bad: ABQ (2009)
Amazing last episode of Season 2 !
I just finished watching Season 2. Took ages to do it because the episodes during the middle part of the season were so ho-hum and mediocre... full of lies and dreary family dysfunction :(
But the penultimate episode was a stunner with a death, and then this finale was so well-written, it gets back to the level of Season 1's raw and gritty drama! The performances were amazing.. especially Jesse's weeping, utter pain and devastation at his girlfriend's death. And also Walt's facial expressions of guilt when his son called him a hero in front of the TV cameras. As well as Skyler's quiet but firm confrontation with her husband before she left. Great writing and acting. Pure excellence once again!
Wish I Was Here (2014)
Beautiful... Thank you, Zach!!!
Beautiful and poetic :) Very heartfelt acting by Zach Braff, who also wrote and directed it! I'd been playing the soundtrack a few times in my car prior to this, but just got the chance to see the movie today. Highly recommended - it's about tough times for people who believe in following their dreams, about parenting, about dying, and about speaking our thoughts.. I really loved some of the lines and scenes.. gonna watch it again! As good as an American indie movie can ever be. Some directors make works of art. And some share with us gifts like these! And Donald Faison made a tongue-in-cheek 'Scrubs'-alumni cameo, hehe.
Arrow (2012)
Plays like one long Exciting movie!
Loved it.. watched all 46 episodes in less than 2 weeks! (and stayed up last night watching 8 episodes in a row!)
Season 1 was exciting, but in Season 2, while the writers upped the stakes ante; during the last few episodes, Oliver/The Arrow began to become really foolish in his decision-making :(
"Your reticence to do what is necessary, is why your city burns!" To me, Nyssa summed up Oliver and Season 2 pretty well.
While i love many of the supporting characters like Felicity, Roy, Sara, Tommy, Detective Lance and Diggle, it was really annoying to see how the skillful Oliver Queen turns out to be such an elementary playboy, (he actually slept with his father's mistress!!) and making more and more useless decisions that leave dear ones suffering. A disappointing lead character to root for.
