The Brave: The Seville Defection
(2017)
Episode 6, Season 1

Good Series but not this episode (Possible Spoiler)
As in another review having identifying marks like a tattoo are not allowed for obvious reasons on Special Ops personnel.

When the group first meets with the girl and the Russian father they should not have shown any their faces to be identified especially Director Campbell. This group is supposed to be the under...under Special Ops group. No one should be able to identify them.

Jaz is doing "Overwatch" talks way too much rather than being focused. Plus the camera shows down the end of the barrel of her weapon. It clearly shows it's a gas port for a weapon that fires blanks! The hole in the barrel is smaller than a 22 bullet. They also have her making some incredible shots of two moving targets between trees and walking civilians in a park. Wow!

Taking an annalist off their desk and putting them in the field to work as an operative. It never happens.

Noah takes Megan James to lunch from a high security building that is sure to have screening and scanning. How does she take a firearm into a secure building in her purse?

There were several other flaws like this that makes this a poorly written episode of what mostly is a good series.

It Happened to Jane
(1959)

A fun Family period Movie
This is a fun period movie. It's a great snap shot of rural New England in the late 1950's. I remember watching this movie when I was a young boy growing up in the Hartford area of Connecticut. Thought the story is about the fictitious town, Cape Anne, Maine, the story was actually filmed in Connecticut. I remember everyone being excited about the movie because they had filmed scenes at the Hartford Railroad Station, one being where George kisses Jane. Back then we all had traveled someplace from the Hartford Station. The movie's vivid color gives us great views of the landscape, the old New England houses, stores, churches, and court house. The "Town Meeting" as it was, and still is, in some ways still in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. The various types of cars of the time, and of course the different trains. It's a great story of the little guy (gal in this case) against the big corporation. Doris Day and Jack Lemmmon are at their best as well as the supporting cast. This is a movie the whole family can sit down to and have a great time, especially if you are from New England.

Tank
(1984)

A fun Movie
This is an old fashion good vs. evil movie that is fun. Movies don't always have to have some heavy deep plot. Sometimes it's great to watch a movie that is fun that you can cheer, and this is one of them. It's now over 20 years old, but it still holds up as a fun movies to watch and enjoy.

A big surprise will be to many is to see James Cormwell playing a simple deputy sheriff, and what Command Sergeant Major Carey does to him.

James Gardner, as always, carries the film very well. He is a very believable CSM, and Shirley Jones has a military wife down pat. A young C. Thomas Howell does a good job too as a military son. G.D. Spradlin plays the very mean Sheriff that is very easy to hate. And Jenilee Harrison did this movie at the same time she began a two year run on Dallas, and she looks great in this movie. The whole cast together works great for this movie, and it's great for the whole family.
