Happy New Years (2014)
This was a Bollywood comedy-action-dance-competition flick. Yeah, I said it. What I find astounding about the random Bollywood movies I decide to watch, is that they all seem to star the same few guys: Shah Rukh Khan (✔ He’s in this movie, too), Sonu Sood (✔ He’s in this movie, too), Amitabh Bachchan (✘ He’s not in this movie). There’s an excessively produced mud fight scene that is only there as a venue to show the audience that Shah Rukh Khan, 49 at the time this movie was made (lies!), has a ripped body and is a total badass. There’s another action scene to convince you Sonu Sood is also a badass.
Most Bollywood isn’t my thing. I’ve seen some epics that I thought were great. They were depicting tales from India’s history, mythology and folklore. When I venture into the comedy genre, I find that the humor and cheese just doesn’t please my palette.

This one is about a bunch of friends getting together for NYE that is supposed to be a thriller/horror, but it takes too long to tell the story. They’re trying to use Jordan Peele styling, but unfortunately, they got it wrong. Every second of the movie can’t be creepy or suspenseful, or you’ll never be surprised. I gave it a long painful 40-minute try, but I always tell others to just stop an uncomfortably bad movie, so I took my own advice.

An urban fiction movie – but a bad one. A woman wants to have a baby with her reluctant husband, so she tried to engage in a lot of sex until he gets tired of it. Then, at work, he gets a sexy, flirty intern. I stopped it there, before it became any more like a cheesy porn flick.
