Bridget Jones' Diary

Haha I accidentally wrote "Dairy" at first. Haha imagine her dairy farm and cow dramas.
Two thumbs up, and three hours to go!!

In Bruges

Harry: It's a fairytale town, isn't it? How's a fairytale town not somebody's fucking thing? How can all those canals and bridges and cobbled streets and those churches, all that beautiful fucking fairytale stuff, how can that not be somebody's fucking thing, eh?
Ken: What I think I meant to say was...
Harry: [Interrupts] Is the swans still there?
One and a half thumbs up!

Secret Life of Pets

New York! in Fall! And a dog voiced by Louis C.K. that kind of has the same colouring as Schnitzel!
One and a quarter thumbs up!

Bad Moms

Everything about the PTA part is so stupid:
*How do they even have that much power to determine school days and hours, and who can be fired etc.?
*That is so sexist that they assume it is all females in the PTA
Two thumbs down - this is the WORST movie I have seen in ages. It is absolute tripe scum and possibly knocks off "Sugar and Spice" the crap cheerleading robbery movie as my worst movie ever. Even The Human Centipede had more redeeming features (and that was disgusting!)

Two Weeks Notice

I thought channel E! was just entertainment "news", but they had this movie.
Zero thumbs up, inoffensive viewing just to pass the time, because this is going to be a long painful journey home.

Juno

I am always taken by Jennifer Garner in this.
One and a half thumbs up.

The Danish Girl

Alicia Vikander is so much more beautiful in film, than she is in Golden Globe photos etc.
Half a thumbs up, it was very beautiful but I don't think I could be as strong and supportive as Gerda was.

Empire Records

I have zero care for this silly ragtag bunch of teenagers:
*Smarmy boy who just gambles $9000 away with no punishment
*Silly naive Liv Tyler who is a total hypocrite
*That ridiculous punk thief kid who is so annoying, and what a dumbass way is that to get a job
*Stones deluded people who just decide to start a band based on a name
*Bald girl who is just so cliched and attention seeking
*Even dumber boss who just lets everyone get away with never working and stripping and grinding and not monitoring the store. And also has his name way overused ("Joe" must have been said 100 times)
*Cannot believe Renee Zellweger was the least sufferable of the group
Two thumbs down - that was awful. Terribly overrated and unbelieveable, with zero likeable characters. Cannot believe I used to confuse this with High Fidelity.

Ex Machina

Remember when Josh/Brad said the title was "Machinist" and I said "No, it is Ex Machina" and I was correct? :p
One and three quarters thumbs up - that was amazing and thought provoking and all the cast were magnificent new young things.
