Taken

"But why would the French man tell her to scream the things down the phone?" (misunderstandings when Josh tried to explain the first half we missed).
I was rather taken by "Taken", so one and a half thumbs up! And another thumbs up for me for that pun, but then deduct that thumbs again for finding her draped crystal thing a bit hot in that prostitute-sense-of-things (hmm...)

Bridget Jones' Diary

Something familiar and something with a little bit of Christmas in it.
Two thumbs up!

The Godfather

Much better than the first time I watched the first quarter of it.
Just shy of two thumbs up, and that Christening scene!

Gone With The Wind

Everytime I re-watch this, I discover both how awesome and how manipulative Scarlett is.
Two thumbs up - Scarlett O'Hara is still possibly the best character ever.

Bad Words

The twist/ending was a bit disappointing in an otherwise good movie.
Three-quarters thumbs up.

Love Actually

Very busy day at work - do I choose yoga at 7:30 or Love Actually?
Two thumbs up, Love Actually always wins.

Chasing Amy

Call me prudeish or judgmental... but that would also be a deal breaker for me.
I was starting off with one thumbs up, but will deduct a point for how annoying her voice is.

Horrible Bosses 2

All I wanted was to walk out of this movie and have the hostage situation peacefully resolved.
It wasn't, no further progress was made. It was an entertaining movie and a momentary escape - one thumbs up.

Guardians of the Galaxy

We did not finish any component of that... except for the chips.
One and a half thumbs up!

Are We Officially Dating?

The girl looks like an even rattier version of grungy Jenny Humphrey from Gossip Girl (mangy-er hair, weird teeth).
Zero thumbs up - and did you know it was titled "That Awkward Moment" in the US?

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1

Prim is the dumbest dumb-as-fuck dumbass.... and she is about to be a doctor!
One thumbs up, although if you think about it, the entire first half of the movie is essentially them just making some videos.
