After 12 seasons, the men will take a bow after a one-hour finale on Thursday, February 19. Upon its completion, 262 episodes of Men will have aired. The series earned 47 Emmy Award nominations, with co-star Jon Cryer winning twice. For five years straight, the Chuck Lorreproduced comedy was the mostwatched sitcom on TV. DANNY COLLINS Here’s a story, apparently inspired by true events, that has Al Pacino playing 1970s rocker Danny Collins, who is still quite rock and roll in his ways. But the celebrity life gets interrupted when a letter that was sent to Danny 40 years ago emerges – written to him by none other than John Lennon. The film also stars Jennifer Garner, Christopher Plummer and Annette Bening as Pacino’s love interest. A LITTLE CHAOS Starring Kate Winslet and Alan Rickman (remember when they played love interests in Sense and Sensibility?) the period piece is about Madame Sabine De Barra – an unlikely candidate for the landscape architect of the stillto-be-completed palace of Versailles. She has little time for the classical ordered designs of the man who hires her – the famous architect Le Nôtre. However, as she works on her creation, she finds herself drawn to the enigmatic Le Nôtre and forced to negotiate the perilous rivalries and intricate etiquette of the court of King Louis XIV. THE JUNGLE BOOK Scarlett Johansson, Christopher Walken, Bill Murray, Lupita Nyong’o and Ben Kingsley bring to life Rudyard Kipling’s timeless tale of a human child raised by a pack of wolves, a bear and a black panther. Yes, one of 2015’s most anticipated releases is Disney’s live-action CGI rendition of The Jungle Book. MOVIES BETTER CALL SAUL Breaking Bad fans know full well who Saul Goodman is. Albuquerque’s devil’s advocate is back to rule the airwaves in 2015.
