Saturday nights are movie nights.
The new rental apartment we moved – to be near Prithvi’s school had a large white wall in the living room – and my first thought was Projector – and I acquired one.
We go coke chips shopping around 7PM. No rules evening. Then we project the movie on the white wall and watch the movie with the cats and a scared dog which will runaway into the bedroom whenever there is a dishum dishum sound.
Here is the list of movies this quarter so far.
- Vampire in the Bronx – 3/5
Prithvi loves New York. Movie about a bunch of teens. A bit scary. All the right ingredients. It was ok.. didnt scare much but it was a fun watch
2. Peanut Butter Falcon – 5/5
Just watch it.
“You are not invited to my birthday party” – the highest insult our hero can come up with. Mine too going forward 🙂
“Tyler, am I gonna die?”
“Yes u gonna die
That ain’t the question
The question is whether dey gonna have a good story to tell bout u after u gone.”
3. Sinners – 5/5
Awseome Music. Good Scare. Vampires. Loved it.
4. Great Flood – 1/5
They over rode my selection and picked a movie without any research. And was a bakwas apocalypse movie with an infinite loop and a simulation. Run away as fast as possible from this movie.
5. Durandhar – 4/5
Special mention – we went on a Saturday evening – to theatre and carried Prithvi’s Aadhar. He had turned 18. And they did ask for his Id. Went without reading any reviews. Loved the music and Akshay Khanna’s snicker.
6. Life of Chuck 4/5
Lovely movie. Lovely dance. Reinforces – it’s all Maya.
7. Eko 5/5
Oh these Mallu movies. With a small budget and a bunch of strays these guys have created a master piece.
After the movie we were watching the YouTube videos trying to interpret the ending.
8. Blues Brothers 5/5
One of the joys of life is to relive the joy I had experienced watching a movie – once again with Prithvi. P loved it too.
There is a scene at the beginning when the Blues brothers will fall from the stairs scared by their orphanage mother. Your rib will hurt I promise.
9. Extra Ordinary 4/5
Typical British Humour. Loved it. But dont recommend watching with your kid – gets a bit uncomfortable in the room – in the climax.
10. Humarae Ram 5/5
This one Saturday – I think the day Prithvi wrote his Board – Chemistry exam – we travelled to Chowdeshwaraih Memorial Hall for this play.
Mind blown. Raavan killed it. His timing and comical elements were too good.
And the end when Raavan is dying – he imparts his wisdom to Lakshman – my Hindi is 65% I would say.. and I could appreciate the depth and rhyming.
And the meeting of Raam and Hanuman. The whole auditorium was in tears. Amazing play. This was their 416th show I think.
11. Sarvam Maaya 5/5
Lovely movie. Few scary portions when the Ghost gets scared! Lovely music.
These Mallu movies I say.
2 more weekends in March.. will be updating.
