Project Greenlight: A New Generation: Current Meko's Problem (2023)
They tried
Had tempered expectations...correctly. I felt the team should have been much harder on Meko. The people around her should have been MUCH tougher on her...especially around the script. She is obviously a introvert...wish the Mentors could have provided more input. The advice about multiple takes / different perspectives should have been enforced by SOMEBODY. They all had they own things going on so had to convey feelings over the phone mostly. Unfortunately, can't play nice in a cutthroat business. The learning curve showed. Someone should have grabbed her off cam and tore into her about her work ethic, taking and acting on constructive criticism. Giving a new driver a Corvette is never advisable...but letting them drive a Lambo is worse. I'm a POC so, was not hoping for a L. Wish the best for the whole team. This review is actually about the movie. Not the PGL attempt. Give PGL a 8 overall. Someone from the PGL team should have stepped in sooner with more force tho. Even if it's your own kid...you need to let them know...nah you wrong sometimes...and MAKE them hear you.
The Mosquito Coast (2021)
Tried but just can't...
Wanted to like tis show but...fast forwarded the first 4 episodes to get to a point. Thanks for the heads up they don't reveal the "secret"...stopping after 4. Dude can fix everything but...can't get a wire to an account...plus they all f'n annoying. Too many "speeches" that lead to nowhere. I don't care about anything in this series to continue. Wanted to care about them running but..."it's complicated"...risking your life deservers time to be explained. I really don't see how this was greenlit for 2 seasons. Seen much better series killed after one. Don't waste your time...much better plots out there.
