21 Jump Street

So desperately needed a distraction from that horrible sit down lecture.
One thumbs up - it worked!

Ong Bak 2

Changing the rule so Free-City is not allowed to discard unless there is nothing else they can do, made the game much more even.
Zero thumbs up.

The Italian Job

"We have to watch this, because mum has already seen The Mechanic three times"
One thumbs up, and one personal thumbs down to Daniel who said they were brother and sister!

Aladdin

Things escalated quickly when Jafar gets the lamp - he is too hasty making his wishes.
One thumbs up, and thank you USB port in the DVD player!

Shakespeare in Love

I wonder how they learnt these dances - at school? But did they even have schools back in those times?
One thumbs up, but feeling bummed out because I think I am letting him down (I've done the maths, and I don't think I can get to Thirroul in time by either car or train).

Notting Hill

I like how happy and peaceful she is during the few days she hides out at Hugh Grant's place.
Two thumbs up, and 'let's go crazy and get some orange juice!'

Chicago

Towards the end, there are too many Richard Gere numbers. Show me more Velma!
One and a half thumbs up!

Drop Dead Gorgeous

Best beauty pageant mockumentary!
One and a half thumbs up!

Trainwreck

I'm sorry, but I still cannot stand her face.
Three quarters thumbs up only, because I still found it hard to like her character, but thumbs up to LeBron James (fine specimen of a man!) for being the funniest parts of the movie.

Toy Story 2

It was so hard not to cry during the "When she loved me" scene.
One and a half thumbs up!

Precious

Her mother is a vile monster.
One thumbs up - her home life is beyond wretched, but the film is not as bleak as I thought it would be.

The DUFF

Oh don't walking in the woods at night! Something bad might happen, like seeing your crush kiss someone else.
One thumbs up - Ann Veal you are funny!

Big Daddy

Aw little Ben is so cute!
One thumbs up, and yay I ended up getting the house to myself tonight!

Magic Mike XXL

Oh man! I should have chosen Channing "Magic, Magic Mike" Tatum over my lame gay-in-real-life guy!
One thumbs down, and a HELLO CHANNING'S SWEET GYRATIONS!

Little Miss Sunshine

Two thumbs up, but points off to the microwave popcorn that was lacking butter.

50 First Dates

Need to find some Beach Boys tunes.
One thumbs up, that was actually a very sweet movie.

Spirited Away

Sprited Away is a little bit scary, but I am being a brave girl.
Zero thumbs up - it is very pretty, but a bit too fantastical for me; or perhaps I am not used to a Japanese storyline.

You've Got Mail

They've met, but they don't know they have met! Oh the brilliance!
Two thumbs up.
