I attempted to watch Kennedy, a mini-series on the Presidency of JFK; a fact you might have been able to deduce from the title. I got through the opening five minutes of worst acting ever, but even the presence of Martin Sheen could not save this dull train-wreck of 1980s TV. Disc 1 goes back to Netflix after 40 minutes of the fours have been watched.
From CSpan an updated list of Presidential ratings. It seems a little early to asses George W Bush’s presidency with accuracy, which may explain why he is rated so highly in this list. Thanks to Don’Stuff for first linking to this list
I have yet to see a good film on Kennedy. This may be from lack of information. Any good ones to recommend?

This Kennedy mini series is good, this Brit from California is out to lunch, the only criticism I have for this film is the actor who plays Martin Luther King is terrible, especially when he tries to do the “I have a Dream,” speech. Sheen plays the best Kennedy I’ve ever seen, The actors who play Robert Kennedy and Jackie Kennedy and J. Edgar Hoover are superb.
