Wow. Watched The Matrix Resurrections in the home theater and I was really impressed. If you had asked me a couple of weeks ago if it was possible for the creators of the trilogy to make a 4th movie that devalued the original trilogy, I wouldn't think it possible. Boy, I was way off. Not only did they make a hot mess of a sequel to a known franchise, they did so at the expense of the original works. I think folks that have any appreciation for the original trilogy should avoid this like the plague. Keep your fond memories intact.

Netflix, 'Oldboy'. Josh Brolin, Sam Jackson. Man kidnapped and held prisoner for unknown reasons. Very different plot, twists and turns. Good movie.

I was Luke warm on squid games by the end but the beginning had me hooked, worth the time overall I thought.
Speaking of S. Korean shows I can’t wait for season 3 of The Kingdom. I know zombies are a bit pass? but the overlapping plots are woven together well and it won awards for the accuracy of the medieval sets.
Finally Always Sunny i love, but in its final season which makes me sad.

I see I wasn't alone in my assessment (contains spoilers...but it's pre-spoiled IMO);

I'm two thirds of the way through "Resurrections" and am feeling like this is a greatest hits, movie.

All of us fans have to see the movie, but it is disappointing, and not really on par with the first three movies.

Netflix, 'Oldboy'. Josh Brolin, Sam Jackson.

Skip the Spike Lee remake and watch the original with subtitles.

Netflix, "Don't Look Up". AWFUL! It's a disaster of a disaster movie.

It is awful, not because it's a terrible movie, but because it's semi-plausible. Kinda like Black Mirror.

The Wheel of Time on Amazon is excellent. Reminds me a bit of early seasons of the Game of Thrones.

Amazon,"The Alpinist". Documentary about Marc Leclerc, a young Canadian alpine mountain climber. Spectacular athlete, bohemian lifestyle. I found it interesting, though likely not everyone's cuppa.

Cool will have to check this out.

Other Mountain Climbing films I can recommend are Free Solo, and Meru.
