Wuthering Heights

I truly believe if in those times, that I would have been really good at doll-making. And I would be beyond ecstatic for a ribbon room!

One thumbs up - it was alright, but Hong Chau was great and never disappoints.

Maid In Manhatten

TWO Norah Jones songs!

Half a thumbs up - dumb but easy fun background.

No Other Choice

Loved the song 'Red Dragonfly' (Cho Yong Pil) during the tussle. Also learnt about soundtrack vs. score afterwards.

One and a half thumbs up - good commentary about class and AI on the workforce. Should not make the comparison but I find Parasite to still be better.

About Time

Oh Domhnall Gleeson really is a lovely kind man! They all are in this film. 

One and three quarters thumbs up - forgot it was another Richard Curtis, but that also explains why I really like it. Also, banger soundtrack.

Sentimental Value

Second time watching in the cinemas, and still missed out on the same first few minutes! I cried in the same spot though. 

Two thumbs up - the beauty is in how restrained it is.

Yi Yi

 The szechuan popcorn at Golden Age Cinema was just perfect!

One thumbs up - started off one and a half thumbs up, but lost some thumbs because that was just too slow. Beautiful shots, but we don't need to linger for that long.

Knives Out: Wake Up Dead Man

I thought it was Jeff Bridges until at least halfway, until I realised it was Thanos. That is why I laughed hard at the Lewbowski reference!
Half a thumbs up - kudos Josh O'Connor but yeah I see where it got ridiculous.
