Before Sunrise

 

I could not disagree more. Who gives a shit about being good at things. Literally the only thing that matters is relationships. 

One and three quarters thumbs up - Oh I loved it! Even the lulls, and frustrating characters moments - I liked that I didn't like them at times. 

You've Got Mail

I am giving moderate consideration to go on 'Mastermind' with this movie as my specialist subject.

Two thumbs up - this brings me a lot of joy, and just makes me smile with twee and delight at so many parts! Also Frank and Patricia are funnier and funnier with every re-watch. 

Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Spotted Juntao in this (one of Leia's admirals). Or so I thought. The actor is one and the same. But turns out I have been calling him Juntao when his Rush Hour character is actually NOT Juntao! 

One thumbs and a quarter thumbs up - I also completely blanked on Harrison Ford's character's name. Not-Chewy, not-Harrison, not-Indiana Jones, not-Lando Calrissian, not-Harrison (again)... Solo! Han Solo!

After Yang

"Oh this would have been so hard to film" - Nicole, in regards to a dance scene. A simple not-in-sync dance. It would NOT have been hard. 

Half a thumbs up - on paper there was a lot for me to like, but it didn't really live up to that. Was also annoyed that everyone's tone was TOO CALM the entire time; no variation. 

King Richard

Post-movie, the following searches were attempted:

1. For Will Smith's jacket because I want that look (on brand behaviour for me)

2. For candid photos of Uncle 5 Chu Loc (unexpected!)

Half a thumbs up - I was impressed they didn't necessarily make him likeable, and kept those difficult or frustrating moments in.

Gone Girl

Surprisingly, one of the better/more realistic portrayals of a brother and sister relationship. 

One and a half thumbs up - was prompted to watch this again after reading a Reddit thread about movie villains. Rosamund Pike is so chilling in this, it is so good.
