Legally Blonde

Endorphins make you happy, and happy people just don't kill their husbands.
One thumbs up, but some minus some sweaty points because it was too hot for soup tonight.

Silver Linings Playbook

The line was so long that Yvonne had time to buy a peach and some grapes.
One thumbs up for Jennifer Lawrence, one thumbs up for Bradley Cooper, and I want to give another thumbs up for the dance and Robert De Niro - but OH NO I am out of thumbs!!

Casablanca

Being stoic, and sentimental, in the name of love.
One thumbs up for a movie that does indeed live up to its reputation, and another thumbs for the delightful little champange and brandy/spirit glasses (why don't we drink out of those anymore?)

Powerpuff Girls (full movie)

Am late to meet the others out at the Rocks for Australia Day, because I put myself in a pho-induced food coma whilst watching Powerpuff Girls.
One thumbs up for how adorable they are, but one thumbs down for how uncomfortable I am now.

Life of Pi

A most faithful retelling of the novel, with utterly beautiful vivid flourescent imagery.
Two thumbs up with much kudos for Suraj Sharma for a largely one man job, and a personal personal thumbs up to me for cinema-going it alone *pat own shoulder.*

Midnight in Paris

I read an article earlier today where they said an important part of the art of conversation is not necessarily the content, but how you felt after - and it made me smile to remember that when I first saw this movie, I was having a bad day and we went to the local cinema to try to cheer us up - and it worked! (as well as raining after too)
Two thumbs up for such a beautiful movie that will always make me smile.

Bye Bye Birdie

Janet Leigh did this after Psycho.
One thumbs up for all the pretty pretty dresses - esp Ann Margaret's green/white polka dot one, and Janet Leigh's beautiful yellow fringed number.

The Lion King

NAAAAAANTS ingonyama bagiiiiiiiiiithiiii baba!
One thumbs up for the best beginning ever, and another for the using the word 'Simba' as a verb e.g. to Simba.

Superbad

We all ate Indian takeaway together (a house first!)
Two McLovin thumbs up always.

Police Academy

Hehehehehehe.
One thumbs up for a hilarious 80s movie, and another thumbs up for the story of the sparkler bomb.

The Incredibles

Watched the end part today.
One thumbs down, for being so so very hot today ('dome of heat').

Singin' in the Rain

Frog dramas afterwards.
Two thumbs up for my enduring top 5 movie (despite the DVD stuffing up so that the others missed out on the titular song).

Is It Fall Yet? (Daria)

Whilst eating pizza at home, because nothing else was open after the carnival.
Half a thumbs up for the 'movie', but two thumbs up for a wonderful day of beach, rides and fireworks!

I Love You Man

Jenny: 'His face does not match his interests'
Half a sleepy thumbs up.
