reviews
18 loggedmostly films from an older movie reviews site I used to run, but I will be adding more cafes, restaurants, bars, and other favorites here.
how i use this
just a personal list for things I watched, ate, drank, or visited and wanted to remember. a small collection of places, meals, films, and other passing things that felt good enough, strange enough, or meaningful enough to to be worth a line or two.
somewhere between a recommendation list, field notes, and diary entry.
June 21, 2026. A very important date in my personal history. After numerous shitty matcha experiences in Delhi, it was on this day that I finally had good matcha again after what felt like a year. It had actually been ma...
read full noteWe have been having Blue Tokai Coffee at home for a long time now, but I was not really a big café person until recently, so somehow this Sunday morning was the first time I actually got the chance to go to one of their...
read full noteCosta Coffee in India is like one of those older premium chains that has somehow become part of the airport / mall / office-complex ecosystem. Not exactly the Starbucks equivalent, because Starbucks also exists here and...
read full noteBarista is one of the bigger café chains in India, and it feels like the go-to spot for most people. I went there twice and had pretty different experiences, though neither of them really made me understand why it is suc...
read full noteDear reader, if you work at Berry Brothers, do not read this 💀. Also, I have only tried this place once, so this is not really a critique of the entire café. Maybe everything else is great. Maybe I just ordered the one...
read full noteCha-Tea has been my go-to forever, but I had to come back for a fresh picture for this review. I have been going here for like three years now, and the Brown Sugar Crème Brûlée still never disappoints. At this point it i...
read full noteThis is a new spot I had been wanting to try. When trying a new place, I usually get their “flagship” item; in this case, that was the Magic Matcha Latte, which they classified as a “potion” (hmmmm). Anyway, it was just...
read full noteADEN is a cute little spot that is very good for sitting down with coffee and getting something done. It is usually calm, but never dead; just enough background life to make it feel nice to be there. I go here four or fi...
read full noteThis film shows what indecisiveness really feels like. As an ocassionally-indecisive person myself, this really hit home for me. Liz, in the midst of a divorce and many important relationships, decides to travel across I...
read full noteLoved this one. A relatively shorter movie with such a beautiful story - it really captures the essence of feel-good movies. The pacing is brilliant, with the narrator (also a recurring character) telling you what happen...
read full noteDefinitely an underrated film regardless of it's popularity. Watching this might change your understanding of love and relationships. It kinda questions the idea of marriage - which is saying something. I didn't think it...
read full noteAnother great rom com. Rom Coms are great. This one was fun for the most part, sad for bits, and wholesome for a great part as well. A man hits his lowest, finds a stranger friend, and they have fun. Eventually they both...
read full noteA very feel-good, fun, silly, unrealistic movie to watch. Don't get me wrong, sometimes (all the time for me) you don't care about the story being realistic. I really loved watching this. It's about a divorced middle-age...
read full noteThis was new. This movie romanticised life, love, and death. The way the story is portrayed is amazing and different from what we might be used to. It's a classic with a great message (if that matters). Pacing is fine. I...
read full noteIf you like murder mysteries - this should be your next watch. I am biased but this is for sure on of the greatest murder mysteries out there. The story, the pacing, and the casting - everything is perfect. The "murderer...
read full noteI don't need to review this.
read full noteDefinitely one of my favorite films ever. The music is on point, if you care. La La Land is a breath of fresh air amidst all these movies that are too silly sometimes. As some one who loves silly films (you'll find a lot...
read full noteIt starts off so well and the concept is interesting. The story, overall, is predicatable - regardless it's a very fun watch with a great message. Definitely a chill, feel-good movie to watch with friends and family.
