Viewing Journal: 2/15/2025




65) CHHAAVA छावा
(2025 dir. Laxman Utekar) Date Seen: February 15 2025
Once this movie was finally getting into that exceptional latter half I thought it was mostly some sweet sweet nectar.. 
however.. Don't get me wrong; I loved a lot of A.R. Rahman's music in this, but some of it was also a little cacophonous for me. To the point of being distracting (& these Indian musicals aren't exactly known for their subtlety, so that being "too much" to my ears is saying something).







64) THE 12 TASKS OF ASTERIX
(1976 dir. Goscinny/Uderzo) Date Seen: February 15 2025
A pretty darn good audiovisual showcase of the Gaulish heroes & their unique charms.








63) ASTERIX IN BRITAIN
(1986 dir. Pino Van Lamsweerde) Date Seen: February 15 2025
but when them "black" caricature pirates show up, yikes!
It's like the first time you see Misutā Popo on DBZ as a kid. Your inner monologue is screamin' "Come on! who approved that?!"







62) ASTERIX & OBELIX: 
           MISSION CLEOPATRA
(2002 dir. Alain Chabat) Date Seen: February 15 2025
an adroit blend of the slapstick mayhem, visual wit, & iconic banter the comic was famous for.. Almost tickles the same funny bone as KUNG FU HUSTLE.
