Reena Roy

 1970's Horror films

                                                                 Schlock Horror

I will make no excuse, I think Reena Roy was a beautiful lady, a great actress, and a v good dancer, which is why I enjoy most of her Bollywood films.

I saw MOST, as I am not swayed by me personal opinions when I decide if I enjoy a film. The movie Jadu Tona is probably the best example so far; it features Ms. Roy, at the start of her rise, and she is very attractive in her late teens, however, the film is distasteful to me.

If the intention was to repel the viewer, the producer succeeded in his objective here. The story is a remake of The Omen, but with the bad aspects of 1970's horror added. The main disturbance comes from the use of flashing images which may give rise to a headache if you are light sensitive.

Though I usually enjoy Ms. Roy, this is one DVD going in the pile of 100 DVDs for sale.

The 07488 SCAM

    It is a SCAM

If you get a call from an unknown 07488 number, block it. It's a SCAM based in Mansfield, Leicestershire.
The callers have been noted to have over 2,000 complaints.

Writer Lift

                                                         Sell a Book

Something unusual happened for me on Twitter this morning.

I was asked if I wrote stories.

As a writer, you may wonder why I find this unusual. Most of the contact I get on the site is from girls on chat lines trying to get me to join thier site to buy videos of them doing sexy things.

I realise this could be leadung to another scam, but at least they haven't, yet, said they can help me promote my book

Writer's Lift

 Sell an eBook

                                                               Amazing Facts

Here is an Amazing Fact, which is both funny, and sad, why?

If - big IF - I can sell an eBook a month, I may earn enough to be paid by my birthday in October, for the first time in two years, and some people say I am a bestselling Indie Writer; if that IS the story, wriitng died a long time ago

100 Indian DVDs for sale

A Growing Selection

                                                                        eBay seller

By the end of the month, I hope to have 100 DVDs from India on sale on eBay.

I am not a business, only a person who has some films to sell, because my tastes changed, or I didn't enjoy a film.


I am trying to watch two films a day, I can't always manage this, some films are too long to maintian the double, and others will pick up "the slack," of for some reason I don't wish to watch them.

DVD category

I can put  most of my selections, to examine, in three categories.

Ek - A film I look at, and say WTF< why did I but this?

DO - A film I look at, and say, well; I will see, the cast looks OKay.

Teen - A film I see, and say, "That is a Keeper."

My hope for 2025

 An Expanding blog

My hope for the New Year is that my blog will expand into new regions; there are areas where it has not been read, ot has it?
Why ask a question?
SInce the early days, there has been a section on the reading called "others," which countries are there I have no idea, some I could think of include Australia, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, and China.
I could say it is Catonlic countries, but I had readers in both Mexico, and Poland recently.
I can't recaal any Muslim states reading my blog. That could be for several reasons. I've never seen any of the countries in Scandinavia noted, not the Middle East. Another area I have noticed a lack of readers in in the EU.

I am surprised I get few readers from Canada the size of the country.

Bollywodd Cast Lists

 The Bollywood Trend

                                                        My way

If you view the way they I list the cast for my Indian DVDs on eBay, you could think I follow the Bollywood style of Male lead, Secondary Male, Female lead; that is not how I list the cast.

My Way

An example to see my way is in the 60's, and 70's names like Ashok Kumar, Jeetendra, or Mithun Chakraborty could boost a films sales; now, they are forgotten.

My trend is to list the actor/ actress I feel has the best sales possibility for my disc; in this case Madhuri Dixit, Raveena Tandon, Vidya Balan, and Rani Mukerji come boefore Akshay Kumar, Vivek Oberoi, John Abraham, or Sanjay Kapoor.

The way I present my disc listings has no releveance to the rampant sexism in Bollywood, but to how I feel the film benefit by having a name which is recognised easily today.

I do have an issue which is unsolveable.

Most of the films I watch are from the era 1950 - 1990, and the stars of those days are forgotten now
