Thumbs go up, thumbs go down.

Recent rentals: A Slipping Down Life, the tale of a rock star groupie who takes it one step farther than most. Disappointed thumbs go down (why, Lili, why??). And Maria Full of Grace, a harrowing tale about a girl trying to make her life better. Depressed - but impressed - thumbs go up.

And seen on TV, A Bug's Life, which I watched while "taking care of" the ants meandering around in my bathroom. It felt a little wrong to laugh at the cute little cartoon ants and then go squish the real live ones, but I got over it pretty quickly.
