But in the UK, the British Board of Film Censors rejected Warner Brothers’ assigned rating, stipulating that no one under 15 years of age would be permitted into theaters....
There is no dearth of women-led crime thrillers and police procedurals out there. But the Veronica Mars-shaped hole left in our hearts in the early aughts was never properly filled. Not even a Hulu revival could do the underrated gem justice, as they dropped it after only one season. Mars (played by Kristen Bell) had a spunk that appealed to the Millennial soul that grew up on Nancy Drew, Secret Seven, and Hardy Boys....

From Paul Newman, Charles Bronson, and Sean Connery of the 50s and 60s, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Lee, and Sylvester Stallone of the 70s and 80s, to Tom Cruise, Daniel Craig, and Mark Wahlberg of the present day, there have been generational action movie actors in every era.
