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

“Once Upon A Time…” that is how all fairy tales start, a guarantee of a “Happy Ever After” at the end of the story.

When this film came out it was one of my most anticipated of that year.

New Year’s Eve has turned into New Year’s Day and I have once more watched YJHD to celebrate the changing of the year from 2025 to 2026.

Memoirs of a Geisha (2005) – Beautifully Hollow Orientalist Mess
When I was young I had a tendency to have a lot of nose bleeds as children apparently often do. I remember one particular bad morning when I was preparing to go to school when I started bleeding from my nose in the bathroom, and it would not stop.
