I've only watched the first episode of Behind Her Eyes and not sure what to make of it. Started off good with the sectary because she was a bit of fun but I thought after the dinner party with all the psychiatrist's, I found it to be a bit dull.

Probably will go back to it though.

Just finished Behind Her Eyes. Quite good, not what I expected at all.

I know it’s not sixth sense I’m watching but spoilers fin!!!

If you knew me what I am about to say is as crazy and bizarre as you think possible. But if you knew me well its not.

I watched 'are you the one' first season from beginning to end and was as enthralled as I was confused. On the face of it is a generic dating concept where 10 guys and girls have to find someone who is a perfect match to win 50k each.

But when people who an algorithm says they are not a match believe that they are its captivating. Do you disregard feelings for the common goal of cash. Really recommend.

Also have to recommend 'legend of cocaine Island'. Never have I been entertained, shocked or laughed as much as I have with this. I couldn't even begin to describe something as implausible but knowing that it is fact as this.

Watched Instant Family starring Mark Wahlberg last night. Lovely heartwarming film with some laugh out loud moments. Similar concept to Big Daddy

Lefty2Guns

Watched News of the World last night. Would give it a 3/5.

Its watchable and enjoyable at times but it will be soon forgotten IMO.

Uncut Gems is well worth watching. A very interesting film, very different and Sandler is at his best in a very different role too.

I seem to be one of the few who finds it very over-rated, a bunch of nasty people being nasty to each other and a bit aimless.

Nasty and irritating. I mean they did both of those things very well, but I hated it.

Stumbled across "Unforgotten" last weekend, 3 seasons with 6 episodes each. Apparently originally an ITV series.
Halfway through season 3 now, I think it is is excellent.

Season 4 is starting on ITV on Mon night.

I'd definately recommend Uncut Gems. Great energy to it. You won't be bored anyway.

Watched it with the family last week, I thought it was done pretty well in terms of the balance between the humour and the serious issues around the topic.

I maybe in a minority but I also tend to like Wahlberg too.

Going through my IMDB ratings...

Mudbound (2017) was a very good movie. A white family buys & moves to a farm. At a super high level, the son of the Black workers on the farm goes to fight in WWII and returns. It covers race, among other themes. It's a slow burn with quite a crescendo in the latter quarter. Jason Mitchell & Carey Mulligan are great in it.

Lawless (2012) was a decent watch also, with Shia LaBeouf really strong. Tom Hardy stars also. Three brothers running a moonshine operation. Some very thrilling moments.

Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (2020) was beautiful. It's evident its source is a stage play, but I was absolutely captivated by Chadwick Boseman's performance. He gives a poignant monologue at one point considering he was likely aware that his time was limited when he was filming it.

Not impressed by The Dig (2021), just too slow and not my style.

I was so let down with Uncut Gems (2019) - 2 hrs of Adam Sandler constantly yelling and swearing.

I like watching nasty people at times, great show.

Hercule Poirot

Think I'm turning a corner here guys, after watching The Prom during my Christmas time off myself and the LofH watched AJ and the Queen

It was actually pretty cool, not that I'd know much about the drag queen business but it was very well done and we enjoyed

If ye are looking for something slightly unusual then give it a go

Caranica

I only managed half an episode of AJ and the Queen. Might give it another go.

I am a big fan of RuPaul and watch Drag Race every season.
AJ and the Queen is pleasant, not something to blow your mind but has its moment and a certain feel-good factor.

Up to episode 5 of the Valhalla murders, it's pretty cracking I have to say! Finding it more gripping as it goes along.

Watched The Meg yesterday morning.
