Team America

Apparently Matt Damon's character was supposed to be intelligent and articulate, but when they saw how retarded the puppet looked, they decided to make him retarded.
One thumbs up - I put off watching this for so long because I was scared of the puppets; am still slightly scared but the comedy helped.

Sicko

Their current system is disgusting - sometimes you (government) have to accept these costs, if the bottom line means healthier citizens who can go see a doctor indiscriminately.
One thumbs up, it is so relevant at the moment, even ten years later.

The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

The sexual tension between Armie Hammer and Alicia Vikander is delectable!!
One thumbs up - that was really entertaining, and surprised Guy Ritchie produced this; it is quite unlike him and very pretty.

About a Boy

And to think that bowl haired boy grew up and saw Jennifer Lawrence's boobs.
One and a half thumbs up, for the movie, not the boob thought (that was weird...)

Analyse This

HE FINALLY DANCED!! AND TO GLORIA ESTEFAN'S 'CONGA'! Oh thank you Gloria!!
Quarter thumbs up - eh, it was moderately entertaining for a Saturday night in.

You've Got Mail

After five sittings, I have finally finished making Josh watch it!
Two thumbs up! He hated it, but tee hee it was fun watching him watch it.

Guardians of the Galaxy: vol 2

I quite liked the gold people; not in the sense that they were nice, but I found their world really interesting.
Three quarters thumbs up, and Baby Groot is as cute as you expect!!

Ratatouille

Turns out there are lots of recipes for 'Remy's Ratatouille' on the internet; I might try the one that serves with goats cheese... yum!
Two thumbs up -  Josh likes to joke that this is my favourite Pixar movie (it's not; it is Finding Nemo) as payback for 'A Bug's Life'... but joke's on him because I love Ratatouille and am not ashamed!

Little Women

If I must be honest, I am probably more a mix of Amy and Meg, with a splash of Jo. But no one would ever accuse me of being Beth. 
One and a half thumbs up, and oh god Christian Bale is so young and adorable in this!

La Dolce Vita

I thought there was only one Italian woman "Maddalena"... turns out there is an "Emma" (overdose lady) and "Maddalena" (rich lady). I clearly did not get it. 
Zero thumbs - it was beautiful to watch, but clearly I got confused and did not really understand it. It seems I am not intellectual enough.

The Sandlot



I love Wendy's style!
Half a thumbs up, it was not terrible, and I can see why you might like it when you were younger.

A League of Their Own

"There is no sleeping in baseball!" - Josh
One and a half thumbs up, and Kit has not become any less annoying with time.

Moana

I really do not agree with Reddit when it comes to movie recommendations (Moana, Princess Bride).
Half a thumbs up, it has its moments, but overall nothing amazing.
Post-edit: Josh disagrees with my rating; he says from watching me watch it, the body language gave it at least one thumbs up. 

La La Land

Don't care if you didn't like the film, but nothing shitted me more during the Oscars controversy than people going "suck on that La la Land" when they had not seen EITHER La La Land OR Moonlight.
One and a half thumbs up, Emma Stone is so captivating!

The Parent Trap

I was home alone tonight and needed something wholesome (so I don't get scared).
Nostalgic one thumbs up, and Meredith's 90s gym gear is all the rage again now.

The Incredibles

Josh is silly and laughed when Mr. and Mrs. Incredible were having a touching moment.
Half a thumbs up, I don't like it as much as other people do.

The Ugly Truth

And not "The Hard Truth"
One thumbs down - it is terrible... but still entertaining enough.

Beauty and the Beast

Emma Watson looks the part, but cannot act the part - she just does not have that playful feistiness.
Three quarters thumbs up - terrible editing that made me dizzy, but stay for the Gaston scenes - he was gold!

Allied

If you enjoy Marion Cotillard acting circles around a dead-pan Brad Pitt, then this is the movie for you!
Zero thumbs up - good story, poorly executed.

Hidden Figures

Not too heavy, but with nice heartfelt and funny moments. 
One thumbs up - it was exactly what I expected, and perfect for a quiet Saturday night in.
