From "the cycle" with films worth mentioning - Ex Machina (2014)
Intriguing, very well played and written, with stunning scenery out-door and remarkable designs in-door, very atmospheric story about what a human is capable of to fulfil their needs and desires. Quite a cold movie but all in emotions at the same time.
I'm a big fan of Alex Garland, always great ideas and has made the move from writer to director well. I saw his latest, Men, over Xmas and it's a creepy slowburn with a pretty way-out finale

Thanks, it goes on my watchlist.
But I don't see And I don't feel But tightly hold up silently My hands before my fading eyes And in my eyes Your smile
I mistook stars reflected in a pond at night for those in the sky.
The Secret of Happiness (2018) [original title: Secretul fericirii]
A Romanian film that turned out to be quite a surprise. Three protagonists and one and a half hours in the middle of the night on the terrace of a modern building which could be located everywhere. A relaxed and friendly conversation turns into an avalanche leading to the inevitable end that changes the lives of the characters forever. Truly engaging despite very modest means of cinematic expression.
Such films are a reminder that the excellent cinema is being made everywhere.

The soundtrack on this is very interesting. I was listening to an interview with Joe Cornish who developed it. He said that musically they've used a lot of 80's post punk/ goth tunes. Episode 1's already had Siouxsie & The Banshees & Bauhaus (twice).

Haven't seen The Winchesters. None of the write ups really made it sound interesting. Is it worth a go?
When I went to visit my mentor last May, she was watching Korean soap operas on Netflix. I never really knew about them before. Since she is a dancer she recommended this one about an older man who wants more than anything to learn ballet. This is just the mindless, melodramatic, feel-good carp I need to see at the end of a long day in the dead of winter.

No.
They find the mysterious Men Of Letters hideout in the first episode so I'm puzzled why it took Sam and Dean all their lives to hear of them ... Apart from that, it's just dire.
A really good documentary about the need of climbing and incredible strength to fulfil it. Also a visual gem with majestic mountains in the foreground. The footage made by Jimmy Chin is just stunning.
