The Notebook

It takes me back to the kayaking afternoons in Nowra, and that heartbreaking old couple where she was screaming for help and he was holding on helplessly.
One thumbs up, and Rachel McAdams has a very nice nose.

Big Fish

I used to think my dad was lying about being electrocuted, but it was indeed true.
One and a quarter thumbs up - and big fish points to Josh for being so movie smart (and meme-lord)!

16 Blocks

The old Asian man (character) and I laughed at the same Yu-Gi-Oh joke at the same time hehe.
Zero thumbs up - interesting first half, then it got dragged out.

Stand By Me

Wow I would not have realised that was Wil Wheaton if it weren't for a glimpse at the cast names.
One and a half thumbs up - finally watching it in its entirety; and fun fact 'Gordo' (Gordie) means 'fatty' in Spanish.

The Big Sick

"I'm fighting over 1400 years of tradition! You were just ugly in high school!" - Kumail
One and a half thumbs up - that was really good, very funny, and cultural without being cliched.

Ocean's Eight

Anne Hathaway and Helena Bonham Carter delivered some gold.
One and a quarter thumbs up - that was fun! Could have cut the last 'revelation' out though.

Fist Fight

The bloopers at the end gave me more laughs than the entire movie.
One and a half thumbs down.

Taxi Driver

His behaviour on the second date with Betsy was, if done by anyone else, was very seedy; but there was something sad and endearing-but-not-really about it. 

One thumbs up - slightly chauvinistic/terrorist behaviour interpersed with sexy saxaphone.
