Superbad

In the background whilst we played "Bang!" and I made cookies (passionfruit melting moments). 

Two thumbs up - yes again and always.

Malcolm X

Never did I think my favourite thing in a Malcom X biopic would be zoot suits and swag. 

One and a quarter thumbs up - that did not need to be 3.5 hours long. He wasn't even Malcolm X at our forced intermission/bean pie time! 

The Green Mile

Daniel and I had a debate about whether 'weasel' was the correct descriptor for the douche-bag character (he thought I meant sneaky and evasive, whereas I meant little-evil-man with a weasel face). Either way, of course his name was Percy haha. 

One and a half thumbs up - but trivially disappointed to find out Mr. Jingles didn't actually do the trick (the spool was pulled with string)

JoJo Rabbit

Two thumbs up - I love this film. It's so funny but also moving. 

Minari

DON'T: Have a couple of beers before the movie. The seal will break. 

DON'T: Try to reason that salty popcorn can help osmosis the pee-pee back. You will go again, 5 minutes into the movie. 

DO: Delight and relate in the little Asian quirks. Lined drawers! Earwax time! Korean Paris-by-Night! Too real. 

One and a half thumbs up - "Korean dude comes to America, is not Eddie Murphy" - Daniel. 

True, and while it didn't live up to my over-estimated expectations, it was still very good. Not great.

Moulin Rouge

Didn't know it at the time, but this was might have been an early start of the Nicole Kidman and Elton John love. 

Two thumbs up - not a perfect movie but it gets full marks because nostalgia and because it is so funny at times (Like A Virgin!)

Promising Young Woman

So that Paris Hilton song scene just started a small crush on Bo Burnham now. Despite that he kind of lacks shoulders... and... that I did not care for the first 10 mins of his Netflix comedy act. But yeah crush!

Two thumbs up - first thought was 1.75 thumbs but then I couldn't fault anything. Banger soundtrack, great visuals and topics to make you uncomfortable. This is not a girls' movie; everyone should see this. 

Charade

"Miss Hepburn's clothes by GIVENCHY". Okay I am IN!

One and a half thumbs up - thanks for the recommendation Nicole. Why isn't this film more well-known? Agreed with this quote "best non-Hitchcock Hitchcock film".
