My 2020 started off with me getting dumped and heartbroken. Italia driving tour 2020 was supposed to be the thing to look forward to. It was going to be my Eat Pray Love. DAMN YOU CORONAVIRUS!!
One thumbs down - okay so my story/reason for Eat-Pray-Loving is literally the opposite of hers. Also this is movie is as shit as the reviews say. How did they manage to make the "Eat" in Italy look so unappealing?

Booksmart
After watching "She's All That", I was thinking that outcasts in movies are always 'arty'. You never had a 'maths' outcast (maybe except "Never Been Kissed") because it still not as cool as the 'arts kid'. So I loved that one of the many refreshing things about "Booksmart" was that they were just plain ol' academic nerds, rather than 'trendy arty kid'.
Two thumbs up - Booksmart is so brilliant and I love Beanie Feldstein's eye expressions!

To All The Boys: P.S. I Still Love You
Attention all American tween films. Stop trying to make first and middle named characters happen. It's not going to happen.
One thumbs down - it is not good. They are trying too hard to have a certain aesthetic, that it loses all the charm of the first one. Despite that, I went from being wildly annoyed at the first and middle name ridiculousness to crying during the part about the Korean word jung ("It's the connection between two people that can't be severed. Even when love turns to hate, you will always have tenderness in your heart for them"). What an emotional roller coaster. From a shitty teen Netflix movie.

The Hateful Eight
It is so obvious in hindsight, but when the subtitles showed a song was by Jack White, I was like oh yeah, they can't just use actual songs from that period because they didn't have recorded music back then. DUH.
One and a half thumbs up - the cold breath is real because they filmed in refrigerated sets.
