Movies are fun. I like them. So I often look for reviews on the Web. You know reviews , simple intro-to-the-story type documents. And I find them. Oh, I find a lot of them , both for English and Hindi movies. Every Tom, Dick or Harry, or should I say, every Ram, Shyam and Gopal have their own website, offering reviews. These range from really good reviews, to totally mindless ones. But what none of them gives me, is a recommendation for a movie. Let me rephrase that, what none of them gives me are recommendations to movies I like. Yeah, once in a while I’ll come upon a reviewer who’ll be right in sync. So then I watch out for him/her, and the next time they’ll be way off. You see what I mean ?
So I’ve decided to compile my favorite movies and their reviews here in my blog, in the hope that this blog will serve as an organized movie guide. I’m primarily dealing with Hindi movies here, but have reviewed some of the English ones too. To get started, you could check out some lists:
If you are new to Bollywood and would like a Primer, see my page on Bollywood For Beginners.
If you prefer to listen to your reviews, check out the Amodini’s Movie Reviews Podcast.
To see how I rate movies, see the Rating Guide. If you’d like to figure out if films you want to see are appropriate for the young ones, check out the Parental Rating Guide – all movies I review are tagged with a “kid-safety” rating.
