Trap, by M. Night Shyamalan. I like M. Night. But this was one of the worst films I've ever seen in my life.
The Watchers, by Ishana Night Shyamalan. Not bad. Not great. But not bad.
Marco Polo series on Netflix (including the one-shot special, Marco Polo: One Hundred Eyes). How did I never see this before? It's pretty amazing.

Fantastic



I've read the books etc and this one really brings it home what that whole crew accomplished. That Antarctica Ocean voyage of 800 miles in a 22' row boat will top all....plus the trek through uncharted mountains.

We visited the Mawson Museum in Tasmania and saw how primitive the gear of the time was. Incredible to see not only photos but actual movies of the Shackelton expedition
The guy doing much of the narration also duplicated Mawson's solo survival trek as well as Shackletons voyage and mountain trek.
All nearly killed the Aussie doing the re-enactments.
Seeing how small that damn boat is ( they duplicated it for the docu ) you wonder how they ever made it.
It's one of the best docus I've seen.
....

Also very good

In a similar vein, have you read The Worst Journey in the World, by Apsley Cherry-Garrard? Fascinatingly grim.

Okay so I was a bit skeptical about this new version of Time Bandits, despite my love of the creative team involved, because how can you top the original. But holy smokes this is a lot of fun. For the love of cod (and Haddock), please let there be another season.

Senna is a must watch - superbly done.


Brilliant work and The Making of is also extremely well done.

This multiple episode - even seasons - story telling is easily surpassing movies in my view…movies too often seem compressed by comparison.

Watching Jon Bennet now - amazing that has not been solved.

I watched The Diplomat. Enjoyed it. Watching The Old Man now. Also watched the first ep of House of Cards. Will watch more after The Old Man.
