Just watched Bruised, actually a terribly uninspired and cheesy film, that looks cheap despite presumably being otherwise. Baffling casting as well - was interested to see Lela Loren among the cast but she literally has one line in a 3 second scene - bizarre stuff, why even bother.

Halle Berry looking exceptionally well for 55 though.

Just finished 137 shots..recommend..

Good acting alright but the story was just far too grim for me. Dont watch it for you're looking for something uplifting

If life could be only rainbows and unicorns😉

I must admit I did watch Stepbrothers after it.

It's a terrific show so well done

Just finished unforgivable here, in floods of tears.

Sandra Bullock is outstanding. Yes it's heartbreaking, but such is life.

Just watched The Unforgivable with Sandra Bullock. This is a genuinely brilliant movie with fantastic acting throughout. Very much worth a watch.

Big shouts for The Unforgiveable on here. Must definately give that a go. I read up a bit about it, and got the impression that it was a really slow movie, so that was kinda offputting. I have a decent amount of patience, so will give it a spin.

Stunned to see The Blue Lagoon on Netflix, I'd have thought that film would be definitely taboo these days since Brooke Shields was only 14 when it was filmed and while it's supposedly a body double for the nude scenes, that would surely still fall under "depiction of a minor"...

Your Home, Made Perfect is top tier BBC home improvement viewing.

RE: Community, I had very little time for Season 1 when it first aired and found it a bit of a slog to get through. It was only when it later dipped its toes into the high concept episodes that I fully fell for it.

I was listening to a rewatch podcast for it and one of the hosts was saying that if she's ever recommending it, she recommends they start with S01E09 (Debate 109) which is a very good episode and definitely marks a turning point.
