Gravity

Fei's mind was more blown by meeting Andrea, than by 'Gravity'.
One and a half space-floating thumbs up.

Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom

I didn't know Winnie Mandela was such a guerilla.
One thumbs up.

Blue Jasmine

When I grow up, I want to be a Woody Allen heroine (even though they are pretty flawed... especially this one).
One and a half thumbs up and a hashtag #firstworldproblems.

Shame

Michael Fassbender. Shame. Wow.
One and a quarter thumbs up, because I loved how poetic the piano score over the dramatic scenes was, but an unexpected lol moment for when he somehow feels the need to wipe the toilet seat before he stands up anyway to jack off.

Grease

Now both mum and dad are exclaiming at how fat John Travolta has become!
One thumbs up, and further realisation at what a drip Sandy is.

Her

This is all equal parts creepy, and frightening (computers should NOT be self-aware!)
One and two-thirds thumbs up; and I am having an existential moment, because if you take Descarte's 'I think, therefore I am' as true, then she does exist because she is thinking and evolving... but she also does not exist. Hmm...

12 Years A Slave

I came into this movie with no idea what it would be about (well partly, because the title does give it away) - but I came out thoroughly impressed.
One and a half thumbs up, incredulous points that there is another Steve McQueen, and SHUSH glares for the old ladies behind us who do not know how to whisper.
