Codified

 Let's have heavy dramatic scenes. JamesMcAvoy known for the blockbuster hit movies: WANTED together with female action star Angelina Jolie, was  James most acclaimed movie as a young novice spy/assassin and had raised his action star status with challenging roles in the movies GLASS & SPLIT, both movies were psychological thrillers. The movie IT with other movie stars didn't uplift his status much because the scary clown gets the focus of attention and I haven't seen Victor Frankenstein yet. 

MY SON the movie, is his latest filmed in Scotland. Scotland or UK?

The story: Ed Murray (James McAvoy) came home teary eyed from work abroad (Middle East) when he learned that his 7 year old son Ethan went missing in the campsite. Ed gathered information from his ex-wife Joan (Claire Foy) and her boyfriend, whom he had suspicion that the boyfriend have something to do with it. Ed was interviewed by the inspector (police) also gathering information from Ethan's father. Later, Ed had stolen the ex-wife's boyfriend cellphone and from it Ed found something sinister from the background of those photos taken by the boyfriend at the campsite. The inspector was informed of such findings yet the inspector had told Ed that he was on his own because he was getting death threats. Now Ed was furious that he wont let those kidnappers get away with it. If the police wont help about crime being committed what else can  you do? Would you just standby, keep quiet and do nothing? What parents should do? And that's the story of this movie which is based from true life story that happened in France (?)

THE CLIMBERS Chinese drama. My daughter and I watched this movie because Jackie Chan was in the cast. Actually didn't see Jackie in it. lol

Anyway, the story is about climbing EVEREST,  the highest mountain in the world. Four members of the China Everest Climbing Commando had their most challenging ambition and set the goal to climb the highest peak  no matter how bad the climate and no matter how risky and dangerous the situations. They failed so many times, some climbers lost lives from trying but still the leaders of the pack triumphed in the end. 

How their knowledge of the acrobatic skills they learned from the training had helped them combat the rugged edges of the mountain and how they make used of the metal ladders as bridges to cross the next risky paths. 

Let it be known that this movie also starred China's female action star Zhang Ziyi in her portrayal of the meteorologist - famous for blockbuster hit and academically world acclaimed movie star best actress for CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON & HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS.

Hmm, finding treasure on the summit on top of the world had its own reward and secrets unfold. No wonder why some of those Everest climbers never stop getting to the top for you'll never know what you will find and what you can decipher.
