I would use it to fast forward work, so I can still get money but I can just get to home/free time.
Half a thumbs up, and did you know that the lady who plays Adam Sandler's mum in this is Julie Kavner, the voice of Marge Simpson, Selma and Patty!

Goodfellas
"To me, it meant being a somebody in a neighbourhood that was full of nobodies"
This made me understand a bit more why someone with nothing might want to be a mobster - but these guys seriously confuse 'respect' for 'fear'
One thumbs up - it was a good story but hard to like because everyone was so bad, especially crazy Tommy and main guy Henry Hill (buying your sidechick an apartment nearby! Ugh and yuck!)

A Star Is Born
Bradley Cooper had to undergo a full body spray tan everyday and endure menthol around his eyes to look bloodshot and high. Meanwhile, Lady Gaga remained bare faced with only a lip balm and moisturiser on majority of the filming.
This is the level of trivia I want from IMDb. Not "these two starred in films that are separate but by the same director" boring stuff.
One thumbs up - it was good as was Lady Gaga who I love, but if she did not win an Oscar, she would not be getting robbed.

Mean Girls
I can't figure out which catchphrase I use more in real life: "I'm sick *cough cough*/Boo you whore!" or "Alllll yoouuu sucka MC's got nothing on me!"
Two thumbs up - it is so perfect.

Inglorious Basterds
Christoph Waltz is even more amazing with each re-watch.
Two thumbs up - there is very little I dislike about this, possibly only the Jew Bear who could have been bigger given his moniker of 'Bear'

A League of Their Own
Madonna: "How do I look?"
Rosie: "Where'd you get that dress?"
Madonna: "Borrowed it"
Rosie: "It don't fit you, Mae, it's too tight"
Madonna: "I don't plan on wearing it that long"
Rosie: "Ohh. I don't know why you get dressed at all"
This is an underrated exchange hehe.
One and a half thumbs up - and the only other female majority movies I can think of at the moment that do not centre around 'love' or 'relationships' are 'Hidden Figures' and 'The Help' and does 'The Devil Wears Prada' count?

Minority Report
I was walking to the kitchen to get a plate for Josh's lamington, and then the pre-cog suddenly screamed and then I screamed and literally jumped, and scurried back to him.
One and three quarters thumbs up - this and Gattaca are probably my favourite sci-fi movies.

The Truman Show
So... if it is 24 hour cameras on Truman, what happens when they have sex or he wanks? #implications
One thumbs up - I think this was conceived at the perfect time when there was enough technology to believe they can create a world with cameras like this, but also without internet and mobile phones being so widespread to make it harder.

The Usual Suspects
There is something strange going on with Benicio Del Toro's face in this, it is a bit plasticy and disconcerting.
One thumbs up - yeah that was good.

The Inbetweeners Movie
You literally were naked and skinny dipping with a guy 15 mins before you were to meet up with your Greek boyfriend. Again silly white girls always annoy me the most! I think it is the self-righteousness.
One thumbs up - I will always laugh at the dancing.

He's Just Not That Into You
Even though they are both as bad as each other, why do I hate ScarJo's character much much more than Bradley Cooper's? I think the white yoga teacher/singer thing does not help.
Zero thumbs up - but good for when it's late and you don't want to think.

Midnight in Paris
Time travel (to the past) truly is a white man's game.
One and three quarter thumbs up - I like this movie very much, and I guess I will have to continue to separate the art from the artist.

40 Year Old Virgin
Seth Rogen was only 22 years old when filming this?! That's an old looking 22 year old!
One thumbs up - but personal thumbs down to me for botching the eclair filling/decoration last night.

Julie and Julia
How can you consider yourself a foodie but have never eaten an egg until you are 29 years old? Yeah nah.
One thumbs up - it is my mediocre guilty pleasure.

True Cost
Even at the level of the seed there are environmental and social problems - that is insane and really highlighted how penetrative the problems are at all levels.
One thumbs up - that was really enlightening, and now I am thinking is there a 'fast optics' parallel with all the cheap brands flogging their wares?

Crazy Rich Asians
First time in mum and bubs session. Baby Jack looked at me a lot and he was adorable. And a group of tween boys came in as well, probably because tickets were only $10!
Half a thumbs up - it was pretty much exactly what you expected, a lighthearted rom-com nothing special, but it was fun and it was great to see so many Asian faces (and good looking ones!).

Sierra Burgess is a Loser
You hack into a girl's Instagram and spread private stuff, and get away with it with by sending a song and a hug as an apology?! Ridiculous and cowardly - you don't deserve Veronica's help or forgiveness.
One and half thumbs down - wow that was shite - and seriously forgiving of catfishing, which is fucked.

Blackkklansman
K: "Oh hey, the lead actor is Denzel Washington's son!"
J: "Oh that explains it. I didn't want to be racist but I did think he reminded me of Denzel... Training Day!"
One thumbs up - it was good, and what an impact from the end scenes/montage - but it was a bit slow at times; some cuts and edits should have been made. Also, White Power shit is both so stupid and so frightening.

To All The Boys I've Loved
The single best thing about this (besides being adorable) is that where they could have easily had a white girl lead (which many studios insisted on), they had a gorgeous Asian girl without making a big deal about her Asian-ness - she was just an ordinary sweet girl.
One thumbs up - and the girl is actually adopted from Vietnam in real life!
