The First Grader

It was when he said that he was no better than a goat, because a goat cannot read or write its own name - that was the part that got me.
One thumbs up.

About A Boy

This is where I learnt how to pronounce Ibiza.
One and three quarters thumbs up, as I've just decided this is a fun witty movie I can watch over and over again, that is not a rom-com.

Blackfish

There is some really raw footage of some of these attacks, which are really quite horrifying to watch.
One thumbs up, for its emotional impact on me in that I am 1. terrified for the Seaworld trainers, and 2. It makes me feel uneasy about recommending Seaworld even though admittedly the Shamu show was so much fun when we were kids (... by the way which I've also found out is the name of the show, not the specific whale so we never saw original Shamu!)

Love Actually

Oh no! My burnt DVD copy doesnt give the subtitles for portuguese translation.
Love Actually (again) on Christmas Day after a grey beach outing - two thumbs up again and always.

Love Actually (24.12.2013)

The Laura Linney story is my favourite because it has its little happy moment, but is ultimately sad.
Two thumbs up always.

American Hustle

Bradley Cooper with hundreds of tight little hair rollers in his hair.
One and a half thumbs up, and a personal thumbs up for Amy Adams who is always brilliant and wonderful.

Little Miss Sunshine

In the background, whilst making retro crazy undies.
One and a half thumbs up!

Hunger Games: Catching Fire

Some guy's feet were basically right next to my head! :(
Half a thumbs for all this conspiracy in the movie, but one thumbs down for not being able to spot the culprit with the white/green Bonds socks.

The Cove

It was described as a horror dolphin documentary, accompanied by a grainy black and white negative close up of a dolphin... thus I was kind of hoping for an expose on killer dolphins...
One fin down - there are no killer dolphins (just humans)

Perks of Being A Wallflower

"We accept the love we think we deserve" 
I remember I was mulling and sobbing over that quote, terrified at what that meant about myself. You walked in as I was trying to hold back the tears and mop up my damp face, and you asked if I was okay. I pretended like everything was fine, but you insisted that I wasn't. And even though I was thinking of someone else, the fact that you could see past my facade and that you knew, was a very precious moment for me.
One thumbs up.

Bring It On

Her name is conveniently 'Torrence'. Oh gosh.
One thumbs up because it is always an easy light watch, but half a thumbs down because my gingerbread men look a bit tanned/burnt

Zoolander

There are too many favourite scenes!! (everything in the lead up to and after the petrol fight, merman!!, centre for ants, walk off)
Two thumbs up

Tropico

This was 37 minutes in length... and that is 32 minutes too long.
One and a half thumbs down Lana Del Rey.

Change My Race

The double eyelid surgery wasn't as great as i thought it would be, but her boobs did look really good after.

One thumbs up, and a sense of gratuity that I don't live in South Korea where it indeed has become normalised.

Miss Congeniality

One of my favourite parts is when Rhode Island winner just sits and bawls her eyes out after Sandra Bulloc- "what is Mustang SALAD?!" (daniel, the idiot)
What has TWO THUMBS (up!) and loves this movie? THIS gal!
