Behind the Curve (2018)
Poorly made documentary
You can't call this a documentary. It looked like a spoof put together by college students who didn't realise they were 50 by now. It is so obtuse and 'flat'. Makes these people look like morons doesn't explain any of their theories. Doesn't expand on any of the ideas, scientific arguments of the dissidents of the spherical earth theory but rivals in the enjoyment of exposing them as childish half brains. Its should've been shown to be a spoof movie and not a documentary. Waste of my time.
Aaina (1993)
Disgusting topsy-turvy drama
Up is down and down is up in this morally bankrupt drama. One guy is attracted to two sisters. One is ugly Betty and the other is a modern progressive woman who abandons her husband at the wedding altar because she feels claustrophobic. Que ugly betty stepping in..husband could care less who he dips his "d" in, it all the same for him. If he didn't get the other sister I think he couldve swapped with their mom or granny. He just wanted a "cat" from this genotype. Huge standards! This is less of a story more of a misogynistic fantasy from a perverse indian male view.
Lamhe (1991)
What a cringey story!
What if someone's daughter looks like a younger version of their beloved wife. Will they be justified in feeling attracted to their daughter? Is this for real? What a disgusting story! Excuse me while I throw up. How is this considered a masterpiece what the heck is this? All good actors are wasted to the royal member's member who only stands up to one face no matter who it is attached to and even if she could literally be his daughter. Extremely cringe justifying disgusting and perverse thoughts of this main character.
The Tinder Swindler (2022)
Passable watch
Interesting to watch how backwards people will fall ignoring red flags and their intuition just to get a whiff of that money. I wish I could say I feel sorry for the person in question but she seems too naive or too greedy.
This man was a goldigger digger. People should stop looking for money bags and focus on actual qualities in a man. If you choose people based on character than what they can provide you may not have to compromise on your values like this.
Atrangi Re (2021)
What? Really what?
No, sorry despite solid performances by all lead actors it cannot be called a good movie. It was quite embarrassing to watch. I felt second hand embarrassment on behalf of whoever created it. Way to waste brilliant performances and lovely energy of actors. I would describe it as a fever dream. I can't believe someone saw this script and thought they should spend crores to make it and then they proceeded to do so. It makes light of a serious issue and I do not agree with any of this.
Await Further Instructions (2018)
Ok in the light of the pandemic it makes sense!
In 2020 this movie eerily reminds me of the stay indoors and await further instructions story played all over the news. To the people who were saying why would you take instructions from a TV, I say Haha 😄

A decent creepy show
Netflix is on a roll with satanism, witchcraft and culty themed shows since last year. This is one of the same. The story is interesting and screenplay and actors leave a little bit to be desired. Story says nuanced but the actors are a tad bit soap operaesque. Especially the lead character, she is quite annoying and keeps getting on my nerves with her meddling, over enthusiastic and fake and forced kindness. I just can't stand her goody two shoes attitude. The lead male charater is the only likeable character in the whole show. In my opinion the strength of the show lies in the script. Really a solid script. Photography is another aspect that I'm a fan of. Screenplay isn't perfect but its passably good. Overall I would rate it a 6/10. Makes a solid creepy watch for winter.
Zach Galifianakis: Live at the Purple Onion (2006)
Not Good at all
If you're here for a laugh, leave. Its the most unfunny comedy I have seen perhaps in my life. It was so boring except a few good moments there was nothing to it. It was like him winging it and maybe one or two paid people in the audience laughing loudly. Most of the audience was looking at others wondering what they were laughing at. The jokes weren't funny. He's gotten so much better in the recent between two ferns seasons.
