"Favourite non porn magazine to masturbate to? GOOD HOUSEKEEPING"
One thumbs up.

The Ugly Truth

Trying to work out Maui car rental in the middle.
One thumbs up - I know it's a crap movie, but it's a fun crap movie.

Wild

That opening toenail scene is one of the most horrific things I have ever seen - I felt a bit nauseous that I had to pause it, watch something light-hearted, then come back.
One and a half thumbs up!

Laggies

A moment of lusty Sam Rockwell! lol DILF
Three quarters thumbs up - the story is very silly, but it was entertaining. 

Selma

I have to agree with the Academy in it not receiving best actor or actress nominations - the story itself was powerful but the performances were only average.
Half a thumbs up.

That Sugar Film

I thought I lost you at the 'naturopath', and then you bring on 'wellness leader.' *massive eyeroll*
Half a thumbs up, but you should take home this message: "It's not so much the calories that count, but where they are coming from"

Blades of Glory

The YSL bag costs 2600 AUD...
Half a thumbs up.

The Big Lebowski

Of course it starts raining as soon as the movie starts.
One thumbs up for the movie, one thumbs down for the rain, and one thumbs up for each of the delicious baos: peking duck, fried chicken and pork belly!

Chappie

Mostly I was impressed with how sympathetic they made the robot Chappie, until things got a bit silly with the whole consciousness and battery thing at the end.
Zero thumbs up (but no thumbs down), and at least now I know who Die Antwoord are.

Lars and the Real Girl

It's a bit insane how everyone in the town goes along with it. Also, Mark Brendanawicz!
Zero thumbs up - meh.

Whiplash

Josh actually went out with a girl who commited the crime of mixing maltesers into the popcorn.
One shiny floating J.K. Simmons head!

Napoleon Dynamite

I would like to make it a goal to learn the dance by the end of the year, but I don't think that will happen.
One and a half thumbs up, and points for Ka'anapali, rather than Wailea.

The Grand Budapest Hotel



The film colour palette is much darker and washed out than the advertisements or book suggest.
Only one thumbs up, and beautiful articulate voice points to Ralph Fiennes, darling.

Citizen Four

That woman sitting next to me was very standoff-ish when I politely asked if anyone was sitting in the seat next to hers; she also shook or nodded her head a lot during this.
Three quarters thumbs up - it was very insightful into the Snowden events.

The One Hundred Foot Journey

I"m just always so happy when different cultures get along (but non-cheesy).
One thumbs up, and pretty points for Marguerite's style and the mise en scene.
