Churchill


It's okay enough, I suppose, if you're really, absolutely into this stuff.

Me, I'm just relieved they didn't cast John Lithgow as Churchill.

Wonder Woman


Suuuuuch a vast improvement on the other DCU entries, but do you know what this movie needs?

This movie desperately needs a Stan Lee cameo.

Hindi Medium


Parents with enough money to improve their local school, instead take away a slot from a needy child at the "good" school.  

Just about too real to be enjoyable.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2



I mostly enjoyed the parts that I stayed awake for and can remember.

This is more than I can say for most of the MCU films.

Power Rangers


The movie starts out as "The Dukes of Hazzard"-meets-"Crazy Taxi," and soon adds "The Breakfast Club" to that mix, before going all "Ultraman"-meets-"Transformers."

I'm hoping the inevitable sequel can squeeze in  "The Chipmunks," "The Walking Dead" and "Peppa Pig."

Chowka



When the film started, the ridiculous CGI birds were the only thing I could reasonably hate on.

At some point, though, that all changed when--and I am not making this up--only the first few words of every line were being subtitled, and I did something good for my sanity by giving up & going home.

Badrinath Ki Dulhania


As the movie opens, our heroine is bucking hard against her community's expected gender norms.

She is so completely successful that by the end of the film, her love interest is displaying visible chest-shaving bumps and ab-accentuating makeup.
