Cruising Netflix, i picked Journey to Mysterious Island.
Premise that the Mysterious Island in the Jules Vern novel is the same place as the Island in Gulliver's Travels and treasure island.
Lots of Jules Vern references, could have been so much more with a decent script and whoever wrote the dialogue should be shot,
Stars the Rock and Michael caine. I liked it, but it could have been so much better.

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Movie Doco, 'Free Solo'. If you have a fear of heights and suffer from vertigo, this one's not for you. Some of the shots literally took my breathe away. The man is an absolute freak!

Yeah, Nah. %$^ that. I don't mind going down hill provided you have the ropes and harness, but free climbing like that, 1 slip and you're a red stain on the rocks below.
Back to movies, up in Toc I watched the end of the world movie 2012, based around the Mayan prophesy.
Interesting premise, serious solar activity stirred up the earths molten core, resulting in the magnetic poles moving dramatically and the tectonic plates shifting causing some serious earthquakes and tsunamis.
Scariest thing is, the premise is possible.

Had a look at Meg over the weekend.
The premise is at least possible if not that plausible, but it was a good "park your brain" movie.
Looking forward to John Wick 3, I found this which details how the John Wick movie has changed or rebooted the action genre.

Also recently had a look at Creed 2 and Equaliser 2.
Creed 2 wasn't bad, borrowed a lot from both Rocky 3 and 4, could have been better.
Equaliser 2, I just don't remember. The first one was really good, this was just meh.

This Chinese sci-fi movie has just premiered on Netflix, and it has a pretty hilarious premise:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sifijbykwDgThe sun is dying out. The earth will soon be engulfed by the inflating sun. To save the human civilization, scientists draw up an escape plan that will bring the whole human race from danger. With the help of thousands of infusion powered engines, the planet earth will leave the solar system and embark on a 2,500 year journey to the orbit of a star 4.5 light years away.

A few months ago went to the local Palace cinema and saw Burning, a South Korean film. https://www.palacecinemas.com.au/movies/burning/ Not bad at all.
I'm going through (albeit slowly) a Korean film & TV stage
I highly recommend "The Stranger" on Netflix; a TV series. You do have to put up with a bit of overacting / melodrama but it's a terrific series with mostly brilliant acting and cinematography. Great writing and music. You do need to concentrate because of the subtitles.
