Birdman

The drum score was amazing - was almost a story in itself!
One thumbs up; it was good, but I feel the hype exceeded it.

American Sniper

I did not know this was a Clint Eastwood film; and I did not register that was Sienna Miller either!
One and a quarter thumbs up; it is quite intense.

Taken 2

It will be forever known as the time I actually said aloud that age (ahem Josh absolutely insisted).

One thumbs up - half a thumbs was deducted because the final 10 minutes felt anti-climatic (broken viewing was probably to blame). 

The Darjeeling Limited

Doing my llama cross stitch and watching the Darjeeling Limited... could I BE having any more fun??

Two thumbs up, and confirmed top 15 movie (still unsure if it gets a place in the top 10).

Moonrise Kingdom

I want my life to look as pretty and charming as a Wes Anderson film, and to have to sass of this guy.
One and a half thumbs up - the half a thumbs was reluctantly deducted because I felt annoyed rather than charmed by Sam's attitude.

Slumdog Millionaire

I always think the correct answer is Ricky Ponting... but it's not.
One and a bit more thumbs up, and also did you know Usain Bolt's sporting idol is Ricky Ponting?

Mean Girls

Finished this whilst starting my llama cross-stitch!
Two thumbs up!

Big Hero 6

Wasabi is Lote Tuquiri!!
6.5 to 7 out of ten, and an extra thumbs up for this bit of trivia - Beymax's movements was modelled after studying baby penguins.

The Imitation Game

Did you know that in the lead up to the US release of the film, The New York Times reprinted the same crossword puzzle that was put in the advertisement? I would love to find a copy somewhere (and promptly fail it!)
One thumbs up - it was good, but not great.

The Longest Week

"How am I supposed to care about a group of over-privileged, affluent types who go gallivanting around without any sort of a moral compass?"
One thumbs down - Anna sold it to me as a French film set in New York; and though it was pretty as such, it just had no substance and completely unlikeable characters.

The Interview

Oh no, my hottie James Franco is starting to look old!
One and a half thumbs up, but damnit I fell asleep twice again (I blame the sickness).
