Aladdin (28/10/2013)

I guess this was my first fictional world that specifically had rules against making people fall in love with each other...
One and three quarters thumbs up, but boo-urns for the internet being down and realising how lost I felt without it (and I thought I was relatively non-dependent!)

About Time

Having just known that Domhnall Gleeson is Bill Weasley, there is something extremely comforting in seeing a ginger Weasley face.
Just shy of two thumbs up; those points were taken off because I feel it was marketed in an entirely different way to what the essence of the movie was (romantic comedy vs. father/son relationship).

Frances Ha

Even though it was slightly uplifting in the end, I still felt sad and lost for Frances for the majority of the time.
One and a half thumbs up, plus one million hipster points for watching a modern movie in black and white, in an intimate new Surry Hills cinema, that sold 'popcorn cocktails'

Borat

My mum comes in and sits on the couch at exactly the moment they naked wrestle; I am impressed she was not that disgusted (or that phased even!)
One and a half thumbs up plus a high five!

Drop Dead Gorgeous

"The 'tard's pants are completely off"
One and a half thumbs up - this movie is underrated, but so great!

Ratatouille

Did you know that the ratatouille Remy makes is actually 'confit byaldi' which is a more contemporary version of it, defined by thin slices of vegetables and baked (cf. larger chunks that are fried and tossed).
One and a half thumbs up - one thumbs because this movie makes me feel warm and lovely, and half because I physically cocooned myself in a warm fuzzy throw blanket.

Step Brothers

I've never watched this movie in its entirety, but I've somehow watched the balls on drums scene like four times.
Half a thumbs down, because it's not really worth watching past the first 15mins or so.
