The Blind Side

It is one of Annie's favourite movies; and she likes the part where Sandra Bullock does the blind side talk at their training.
One and a quarter thumbs up - and it was a much-needed games sesh, even though I came last in the game that counted.

A Star Is Born

I always interpreted the SNL scene as Ally being a bit "musically lame" or "selling out" - I didn't realise that was meant to represent a high pinnacle until I read the IMDb trivia. Oops!
One thumbs up - Lady Gaga is amazing and I love her.

Big

Tom Hanks was nominated for an Oscar for this role; he was fantastic in, but I guess you just don't think this type of family friendly comedy is Oscar fare. It would be like Billy Madison or Kindergarten Cop getting nominations.
One and a quarter thumbs up - it was very sweet and I loved the small child-like details (e.g. running with flailing arms, eating baby corn).

Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of Grindewald

It followed way too many characters no-one cares about on boring plot-lines, and all the answers came too forced and late.
One thumbs down - it was really bad, and made worse by stupid rat face Johnny Depp.  

Dirty Dancing

I surprised myself by mostly being not grossed out by Johnny and Baby's underage-age difference.
One thumbs up - oh sweet Penny I hope the best for you!

Bachelor Party

"This is going to be a risky download.... are you sure you don't want Bachelor Party Fuck Fest 7?" - Josh. Yes I am sure.
Two thumbs down - basically every bad or raunchy marriage/bachelor party/stripper/80s stereotype/mullet (men and women) is chucked into this terrible terrible lame movie.

Wolf of Wall Street

Just like Tony Soprano, these scummy men have no interest in their children until the divorce, and then it is all "MY KIDS!" Deadbeat dads, just rich. 
One and a quarter thumbs up - Leo crawling to his car is never not funny.

Crazy Rich Asians

What is with everyone calling her by her full name "Rachel Chu". I don't meet a friend's new partner and go "Oh hi firstname/lastname". That would be strange.
One thumbs up - it's fun, Gemma Chan's Astrid grew on me more, but the real winner is Michelle Yeoh who is amazing!

Apollo 13

Apparently at a test screening, someone commented that the ending was unbelievable and "too Hollywood". *shakes head*
One and a quarter thumbs up - can you imagine being an actor or cameraman on this, having to go to work each day and get inside the 'Vomit Comet'? Oh the dread!
