I decided to research into this a little further to see how many of the top stars were models first. According to timescelebrex.com, the top 5 actresses are Katrina Kaif, Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Deepika […]

By Elizabeth Fields I could not have selected a more appropriate movie to conclude our semester. To me, Om Shanti Om seemed like a sort of grand finale or last curtain call to our semester of movies. I was sad when the movie was over. What makes this film the perfect ending to the semester […]

At the beginning of the movie, the audience is introduced to Charlie who is self-described as liking to take shortcuts, especially shorter shortcuts. Immediately, we come to the conclusion that Charlie is corrupted and as we […]

Namastey London is a film full of Western clichés, and I loved it. Predictable Bollywood films tend to irk me because the films are filled with forced humor that does will not necessarily capture an audience who already knows how the film will end.

Sydney Shuster I so far have not liked the more modern films as much as I have liked the older ones, but this film really struck a chord with me. The first half of this movie had me actually liking Sharukh Khan’s character for once. He’s usually insufferable and cocky, but he’s sweet and determined […]
