Pig

*Chapter Title - Part One: Rustic Mushroom Tart*
Laughs, "Oh no"
*Part Two: Mom's French Toast and Deconstructed Scallops*
Groans, "Nooooo"
Now we look stupid with our bacon and Nic-Cage-free-egg rolls. 
Zero thumbs up - I would have never thought any movie would sit in the Venn Diagram overlap of "Fight Club" and "Ratatouille" (?!) but alas here we are.

Casino Royale

I want that necklace.
One and three quarters thumbs up - my favourite Bond easily. Great fight and action scenes. So memorable. It has been years and I could still tell you exactly what scenes were upcoming and little details or lines from it. Iconic.

No Time To Die

I did not understand a thing about Rami Malek's character. The words out of his mouth, his motivation, why?? I felt so stupid, until others mentioned they felt the same. 
One thumbs up - I wouldn't stop anyone watching it, but I also would not actively spruik it. The reclining seats at Hoyts Broadway however were amazing!

Last Night in Soho

That motherfucker Daniel came back in the apartment, CREAKED the floorboards just enough to make me question if I actually heard it, and all during a scary intense scene. 
One thumbs up - it was good but a bit clunky at times. The important part is that we survived.

The Worst Person in the World

I jokingly said I would need to bring a neck pillow since we were going to be in the front row... and I kind of wish I did.
Half a thumbs up - it wasn't particularly amazing, but some scenes between Julie and Aksel really affected me because it brought up some painful memories and feelings.

Shiva Baby

I am astounded that the 'kids' individually chat to the 'adults'. That does not happen in my family!
Half a thumbs up - it was almost at 'one thumbs up' but then I had to deducts for lead actress not being Jewish. I just feel that was important since this is quite a Jewish-specific film.
