Myself and my wife have a tradition of watching easy to watch, romcom movies in November and December every year. Watched Love Hard last night and it was perfectly fine for us, easy to watch, entirely predictable but very enjoyable.

They're the perfect kind of movies for when the weather is crap and the evenings are long. We just stick on an easy watch and let the evening pass, we've done it for the last few years and tbh, I love it.

There's plenty of time to watch genuinely great movies throughout the year but there are times when I love getting in from work, kids to bed early and just switching my brain off.

Anyone know, what happened with ‘the killing of a sacred deer’?? It was on the list for early November and then just seems to have vanished.

Me too just finished tonight. Great show , might give El Chapo a go next. Had anyone seen it , is it as good as the Narcos series ?

Mind Hunter

Fantastic series on Netflix about the FBI researching serial killers.

Wasn't Mind Hunter cut? I enjoyed it even though it was fairly slow.

Not the schmaltzy Netflix Christmas fare I was expecting!

Christmas Gremlins in the Forest?

Looks interesting 🙂

Enjoyed it. Very bingeable imo. Surprised they didn't do some more episodes on the rest of his career/life as ends too early for the likes of me that has very little knowledge of his career.

Bit sad to see that it has low scores on the likes of rotten tomatoes and imdm but to be expected from a certain section in usa.
