Adultery, Bollywood Stylenew

Bollywood romance glosses over the cultural ramifications of marriage and adultery, but is heavy on the music and melodramatics.

Apocalypse Then and Nownew

It's always dangerous to make direct links between current events and pop-culture phenomena: So much time usually lags between the conception of a novel, record, or movie and its eventual release that such connections are, at best, coincidence. Let's just say that the small wave of time-travel movies that started last year with The Butterfly Effect is...interesting.

Get Shoddynew

Be Cool is redundant to the point of being absolutely pointless, a sequel that's almost a note-for-note, beat-for-beat redo of its predecessor, only with all the entertaining stuff left out.
