50 Shades Freed

There was this old Asian couple (70s) watching just behind us. The whole time I kept wondering if they decided to watch this on purpose, or if they didn't know what they were getting themselves into. And everytime there was a sex scene, I kept sneaking glances at them to see their reactions. Not much to report besides that halfway in the movie, the man took out a bag of chips from their backpack and ate some chips. I wonder if I looked like a pervert for staring at them haha.
One thumbs down - that was by far the worst one in the series; least sex but more shitty plotlines.

Battle of the Sexes

There was waaay too much emphasis on Marilyn the hairdresser, who doesn't even end up being a long-term partner!
Zero thumbs up - no seriously, the hairdresser coming on tour really annoyed me (What a mooch. So the WTA just pays for her flights and accommodation and food? For being the 'tour hairdresser'?! Pfft)

I, Tonya

We had to move seats because the selfish b*tch next to Josh kept her foot up against the chair in front of Josh! (and she put her choc top wrapper on his seat and didn't even move it)
One thumbs up - it is hard to believe Tonya was only 23 years young when all this happened.

Superbad

Recently learnt that Jason has never seen Superbad! I think he has been pretending to laugh when we quote lines "she wants my dick in and around her mouth"
Two thumbs up - it was on TV and I can't not watch it.

A League of Their Own

PEACH!! I'm a (Rochford) peach!!
One and a half thumbs up - eating pizza and garlic bread on my last night in to myself; I wanted to watch Mean Girls but I didn't have it, so this will do nicely in the meantime.

Ladybird

Ladybird and her mother's relationship reminded me at times of Josh and his mum - the little interrupting questions, the nit-picking, being easily annoyed or angry, but always love in the end.
Just shy of two thumbs up - I loved it! It was funny and so heartfelt without being saccharine, but I can't bring myself to give it full marks yet (maybe with time).

Murder on the Orient Express

"If you will forgive me, I do not like your face"
EXACTLY how I feel about Johnny Depp's face *clap clap clap*
One thumbs up, oh I really enjoyed that!

Kingsman 2: The Golden Circle

The ex-girlfriend lead was dubious at best - a few social media links doesn't mean she would be involved with him - that was a lot of effort for a slim chance at best.
Zero thumbs - Channing Tatum and that Pedro guy were just wasted and unnecessary.

My Neighbour Totoro



"Mei watched them all day, everyday, waiting for them to sprout.
And it is starting to make her crabby. Here is a picture of her as a crab"
Saski? (Satsuki) is a wonderfully patient and sweet older sister - I would have been pissed off at some many things much sooner.
One and a half thumbs up - I can see why it is so beloved.

Anastasia

(During the scene where the Grandmother speaks to Anastasia behind the curtains)
Why am I almost about to cry and be very emotional?
One and a half thumbs up - and hopefully Anastasia will soon be a Disney princess!

Kill Bill: Vol. 1

In light of some power play things Tarantino did to Uma Thurman in her piece about Weinstein - would you allow behind-the-scenes knowledge/facts to affect how you feel about a film? It was certainly a bit more difficult to watch the Gogo/Bride choke scene now.
One and three quarters thumbs up - are the lines between art, artist, context and private lives very blurred now?
