A long time ago I watched this miniseries/movie, and it has stayed in my mind ever since. I rediscovered it, and found myself loving this historical fantasy adaptation of the Arthurian mythos through the eyes of its wizard, Merlin. Spoilers for the film/miniseries below! Set during the various settlements of Britain where warlords rule, and … Continue reading Merlin (1998 TV) – A Compelling Historical Fantasy of Human Faults

1942: A Love Story (1994) – The Revolution of Love Against Oppression
This is a re-review since I feel like I did not do a good job of doing it when I first posted a review of this film. Now with more maturity and more analysis skills. I also just wanted to rewatch this film once more. Spoilers for the film below! A man is to be … Continue reading 1942: A Love Story (1994) – The Revolution of Love Against Oppression
Yeh Dillagi (1994) – An Almost Perfect Remake of Its Time
I always love to see the original film/book, and then read/see all the remakes and reimaginings made from that source material. I did it a long time ago with Sairat (2015) and all of the other language remakes of it which I could find, which honestly do not compare to the original at all. Here … Continue reading Yeh Dillagi (1994) – An Almost Perfect Remake of Its Time
Sabrina (1954) – Cinderella in Givenchy
Sometimes you just have to write about a film which you don’t fully love, but like enough to watch occasionally. This is that kind of movie for me, it is not the best by the director, nor the best in the main actress's filmography, but it is still a dish served well and wittily enough … Continue reading Sabrina (1954) – Cinderella in Givenchy
Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975) – Beautifully Elusive
“All that we see or seem, is but a dream within a dream,” goes the last words of the first canto of the poem A Dream Within A Dream by Edgar Allen Poe. One could describe this film the same way, a kind of a hazy dream set during the hot winter in Australia, one … Continue reading Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975) – Beautifully Elusive
Dhurandhar (2025) – Brutal, Bloody, High Class Propaganda
There are some films which you have seen and heard so much about you just have to watch them for the sake of watching them if nothing else. This is the case for me with this film, a kind of film I would never watch on the big screen, and who I know I am … Continue reading Dhurandhar (2025) – Brutal, Bloody, High Class Propaganda
Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995) – The First Time I Saw Myself In A Film
I have seen this film multiple times and will probably many times more. This is a classic for a reason, and it has been analyzed to death by this point. Last year was its 30th anniversary, which was celebrated with a statue in Leicester Square in London. It is a film that means many different … Continue reading Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995) – The First Time I Saw Myself In A Film
Ajji (2017) – Grandmother, What Big Teeth You Have!
“Once Upon A Time…” that is how all fairy tales start, a guarantee of a “Happy Ever After” at the end of the story. Yet in this film one is not sure if justice will be served, since the world of this film is a bleak one, and justice for some takes a long time. … Continue reading Ajji (2017) – Grandmother, What Big Teeth You Have!
Haq (2025) – An Understated Drama of Relationships and Law
I was in the mood to watch a Muslim Social, and attempted to watch a few old films, but I ended up landing on seeing this one, which had come to Netflix not so long ago. And it is a very good movie, a return to form in a positive way, and something of an … Continue reading Haq (2025) – An Understated Drama of Relationships and Law
Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga (2019) – A Father-Daughter Love is Love Story
When this film came out it was one of my most anticipated of that year. I had been listening to the music from it constantly, since it was such a fresh sound, and how happy it just made me listen to the music from this film even before I’d even seen it. Then after I … Continue reading Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga (2019) – A Father-Daughter Love is Love Story
