If the Peppermint you're talking about is the movie with Jennifer Garner, then I agree, if you like that kind of thing, it was good.
I saw nothing but bad reviews of it, but I watched it and the only thing I can figure is that it was because it was a female in a role normally portrayed by a male lead. I watched it and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Jim, I also agree with you on Person of Interest. Great show with a great storyline. I thought this series ended well too. The last episode was a good one.

Yeah, it's Jennifer Garner with the lead. It actually gets 4.5 out of 5 stars from regular people. I disregard movie critics and professional reviews as every I choose to watch the ones they consider great, I can't even get through them (Bohemian Rhapsody, A Star Is Born, Bird Box, The English Patient, Big Fat Greek Wedding, Moulin Rouge, etc)

I've pointed this out before and I'm embarrassed to admit how thoroughly I enjoyed the series, but it is a great, great show to watch with the wife or girlfriend. Every woman I advise to watch it say it's their favorite show ever and the husbands who winced at the title alone ends up liking it and can't wait for the next episode. It's on Netflix and it's called, "Jane the Virgin". The title alone makes one say, "why on earth would I watch a show called that?". Check it out with your wife and she'll like it and I suspect so will you. It's got sex, lots of murders, whole lot of lesbianism, bad cops, good cops, twists and turns in every episode. The person you hate the most in the first couple of seasons is the person you end up liking the most in the end. It's a novella (Mexican Soap) that differs from American Soaps that have no end and lack wacky crimes and a lot of humor.

What I have concluded is that there is an awful lot of crap on television. Thousands of shows available, but almost impossible to find one worth spending an hour or two of your life 

In the past month I've rented several movies from Redbox that were pretty good like: "One Night in Bangkok" which ended up being a very good watch. Also, I enjoyed "The Hunt" as well as "The Gentleman". "Knives Out" was okay. I watched "Rogue" last night and mehh. Did not care for "Money Plane" or "Becky".

On HBO, I ended up loving the new Perry Mason series and was glad to hear there will be a second season. At first it seemed weird and slow, but by the 3rd episode I was hooked and it got better with each subsequent episode (there are 8 episodes in season 1).

On Netflix, I re-watched "Peppermint" and loved it - very violent, but I am drawn to thrillers that have some hard violence. I'd give this movie 5-stars and hope there is a sequel.

On Hulu there was an interesting flick called "Palm Springs", which I believe has been discussed on here. Sort of a modern day version of Ground Hog's Day, but with a completely different twist. I enjoyed it even though it wasn't filled with violence and blood letting LOL

cute, but probably true

I have a friend who lives just outside Chernobyl in Ukraine.
He watched that drama and says he counted 9 historical inaccuracies on one hand!

That is hilarious Lenn - I about spilled my coffee 

Wow Lenn, just wow!

Ozzie, I love this one!! I don't know why but for some reason love pictures of paths through the woods.

I was taken by the same picture. I just want to take a walk down that path

There's a lot of talent by the men on this board with a camera in their hands. That sunrise and fishing boat picture could be entered in a contest and would probably take the trophy. It's that nice!

I should have added to the instructions: Check the size of the picture you want to post. You should "resize" the picture you wish to post to a size that fits on the screen on BBH otherwise one will have to use the slide bar to see the whole picture.

In my "Picture Folders" on my PC, I have a sub-directory called "resized pictures" that I use for posting on a thread. That way, I still have the original in it's huge size, but also a smaller version that is easy to see on one page of a thread.
