Maybe you should stop watching animated films?
The Jedi Master That's what I was thinking!  It would be like someone saying they like war films but they hate "Patton", "The Blue Max", "Tora, Tora, Tora" and "Saving Private Ryan".

Well, I'd say it's more like saying they like them but then they saw Pearl Harbor and Fury and Flyboys and Capt Corelli's Mandolin...in that case, stop watching NEW war films.

Unbroken.
I enjoyed it. There were a few slightly over dramatic parts, but on the whole I think Jolie did a credible job as a director. The acting was pretty decent - certainly no real weak links. If you aren't up to paying full price for a movie ticket it is worth a rental when it comes to Netflix/DVD.

I saw a while ago a German/Danish/Swedish co-production TV-Show called "Bron|Broen", and I really enjoyed it.
When I realized that FX created an adaptation of that TV-Show for the US market called "The Bridge", I saw it too.
Despite some shortcuts and liberties taken in relation to the original story, it remained a first season that I enjoyed looking at.

Did you watch the 2nd season of Bron/Broen?
I passed on The Bridge.
I don't care for Hollywood copycat shows.
I just discover a show called Danger 5.
Now if I can find episodes of the first season from 2011 and 2012.
This is funny!

"Selma" was the last movie. Two things in particular were excellent: the relationship between President Johnson and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and the visibility of white Americans participating in the non-violent marches and protests, arm-in-arm with their fellow black Americans, being beaten and even murdered by the white segregationists. Some people are ignorant about the role of ordinary progressive white American citizens in the civil rights movement of the Sixties.
I also thought the actor that played Governor George C. Wallace of Alabama made him seem more evil than he probably was in real life. George Wallace was an opportunist. Deep down, he didn't hold the senseless hatred for black Americans that so many in the South did, but he know the environment he was in and he wanted power. So he became an actor, almost a caricature of the Southern White segregationist. He confessed as much before he died.

American Sniper. Did we all see the same movie? I struggled to see it through,sorry. John Wick http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/john_wick/ Really enjoyable,if a little predictable.
If you watch Jaws backwards, it's a heart warming story about a shark that spits out so many people that they have to open a beach.

"Mudd's Women" from the first season of ST:TOS. Roger Carmel was indeed very good as Harvey Mudd.

We watched Third Person, I figured with all these big names it would have to be good, but I should have known since I never saw a trailer about it.
Liam Neeson, Mila Kunis, Olivia Wilde, Adrien Brody, Kim Basinger & James Franco.
about 3 couples relationships in NYC, France and Rome... So confusing and just stupid.

The Sentinel (2006)
This could had been a Jack Bauer "24" movie!!
I had 3 problems with the casting:
Michael Douglas is too old to be a Secret Service agent assigned to the Presidential Protective Division.
He was 61 when this movie was made.
If he entered the Secret Service when he was younger, he would have already been put on desk duty and not still guarding the President.
Eva Longoria is too short to be a Secret Service field agent especially one assigned to the Presidential Protective Division.
She is only 5 feet 2 inches.
David Rasche aka Sledge Hammer played the President and every time he appears on screen, I just couldn't see him as the President.
2.5/5

I am watching The Hill, 1965 with Sean Connery.
I am only 20 minutes in and I must say that this is a very difficult movie to watch!

The oldest film I've seen with Connery is "The Longest Day" which came out in 1960.

The Eichmann Show, last night on BBC2.
Hard hitting docu-drama about the production team which set up and televised the 'trial of the century'. Recommended.

For me it is Hell Drivers from 1957 and it is still not his first film or TV role Well worth seeing if you get the chance, a lot of aspiring actors in this that make it big in the film industry. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0051713/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_84

Another difficult film to watch.

I noticed Patrick McGoohan was in the film. I had no idea who he was until I saw "Braveheart" in the theatre. Excellent actor.

In Britain, we probably best remember McGoohan in the cult sixties TV series as Number 6 in The Prisoner.
Depends on how old one is... He has also been 'sent down' several times by Columbo.
