🍿 Fall (2022) – ★★☆☆☆
The movie has some legit vertigo inducing scenes. But it runs out of steam so quickly with horrendous acting to boot. Wish it was better – there was a decent movie in there somewhere.

These are the movies we have seen recently.
🍿 Gladiator (2000) – ★★★★★
Watched it again with kid after like decade(s) so I had mostly forgotten a lot of story. What a sweeping epic and I forgot how fucking good Joaquin Phoenix. They simply don’t make movies like these anymore.
🍿 The Fable (2025) – ★☆☆☆☆
Omg I really tried hard over 3 sittings to get through this and only managed 40 mins. Whatever the fuck this crap was.
A well made court procedural that took us by surprise that makes a good point about law vs justice.
🍿 Speed (1994) – ★★★★☆
Fun campy masala mix that we rewatched again after it first came out. R enjoyed it and I honestly did not remember the movie at all!
🍿 Tere Ishk Mein (2025) – ★☆☆☆☆
Jesus this was horrible. And level of absolute nonsense, complete lack of logic and even hilarity at end was something. Wow.
🍿 28 Years Later (2025) – ★★☆☆☆
A completely needless sequel. Why does this story exist? It’s just more and more of same but now with even more gore. Was expecting Boyle to come up with something novel and it’s just really a painful watch.
🍿 Good Will Hunting (1997) – ★★★★★
Watched with R and A today. The movie is as charming as ever and man Robin Williams brought a tear to my eye – gone too soon.
🍿 Bison Kaalamaadan (2025) – ★★★★★
Wow, Mari Selvaraj does it again. Forget every Indian sports biopic and watch this one instead. Set against the backdrop of caste/identity and village politics, and gang wars, this is film making at its finest. The cinematography is spectacular, and the way the movie is edited it makes almost 3 hours feel like a breeze. The cast is just all round spectacular. And did I say this is a sports biopic? Kabbadi like never before. Riveting.
