With the upgraded TES system, I tend to go for a film that demands a lower degree of concentration simply because of the limitations inherent with the screen's low contrast/low definition. It is impossible to find the optimum brightness setting on this system. So on this month's 747 flights, I bypassed Argo and Lincoln but did enjoy watching Hope Springs, Total Recall, The Bourne Legacy, and The Dark Knight Rises. I have Sherlock Season 1 and Curb Your Experience Season 8 loaded on the iPad for emergencies but the need has not arrived yet to call upon this media.
