The Dissident

I wondered if F1 had a Saudi course (they do), and if I would be terrified to enter Saudi as an F1 driver, and if you could boycott (probably not eh). Nothing to do with the doco, just thoughts. 

One and a half thumbs up - on the matter of audio, the trolling hacking was very scary and also, how did Turkey get the recordings??

Parasite

Always remember it is movie club first, food club is the side hustle.

Two thumbs up - now that the anxiety is reduced in a repeat viewing, I appreciated just how FUNNY it is even in the tense moments (peaches in your face!)

All The President's Men

I've said it before but will say again, Robert Redford is the vintage Brad Pitt. Gorgeous HOT men with hair as golden as mustard (and peppercorn eyes hehe). 

One thumbs up - by halfway I got really confused with all the names and kind of lost it, but that wasn't their fault. 

Collective

The footage from the nightclub was just horrific. 

One thumbs up - I am not so naive that Australia is perfect, but I am grateful we don't have that level of deceit and corruption here. Also interesting with all the talk about medical care abroad, but that it really not a thing here for us. 

The Lives of Others

Got a bit sleepy in the middle (chomped on ice to stay alert), but they got me back with the end. Good finish, good finish.  

One and a quarter thumbs up - not movie related, but meat salad (Fleischsalat) was fun however I don't need it again. Those pretzels though...!

Superbad

"Shall we put something on (the TV) while we rest?"

Eyes dart between the three, glances are exchanged, giggles start. It is unspoken, but it happens.

Two thumbs up - and personal thumbs up for the delicious mushroom pancetta black garlic pasta we whipped up!
