Closer to the Dream (2010)
A GIGANTIC WASTE OF TIME
This is the second production by Guetty Cohen and Herve Cohen that I have had to view, and this is worse than the previous.
Some people feel they can be so clever, artistic, provocative, and that anything filmed is creative and worthy of praise, well that just Ain't So! In my opinion these folks don't have the skills so they should get real jobs and a real life out of fantasyland!
Ayiti mon amour (2016)
A WASTE OF TIME - DERIVITIVE STUFF AS USUAL
Sometimes people think they have created something that is so insightful, or a significant contribution. This is an example of misplaced congratulations - the product is weak and over worked.
Sorry to inform those that thought it worth multiple stars, it ain't!!
The Challenge: Double Agents: Dive Another Day (2020)
I WATCHED GRASS GROW and was more entertained than these moronic programs
Can't believe people can sit and watch these episodes of absurd ridiculous pathetic tripe. If you can sit through hours of this you must be at least partially brain-dead, or just plain ignorant. You really need a life.
Same as the related programs, such as "Big Brother." Its truly more exciting, and certainly more intelligent, to watch paint dry then this incredible production! Can people really and truly watch these regularly - if I did I would certainly take this information to my grave!
These are 90% talk and gossip, and all scripted (come on don't be so stupid to kid yourself).
Challenge - where? to sit through and watch them with the endless nonsense useless bickering and planning as if they were 10 year olds.
Noticed some of the "performers" have been doing this for years, of course, they are PAID SUBSIDIZED actors (grade 'D' category) to act like imbeciles, how else could they take off work or careers for months to do these?
These are for children....young children, with these scripts
Lovecraft Country (2020)
NOTHING LIKE LOVECRAFT, A MASTER OF HORROR, THIS IS OK BUT NOT GREAT
Maybe we're not paying enough attention but this show is too confusing, all over the place, not thoughtfully sequenced, and seems to be based on unnecessary horror/surprise and other issues.
still have no idea what the episode taking place during the korean war was all about or what significance it has.
where and why do these gigantic monsters appear - seems more of the same - just cinematic surprise but little substance.
yes, this is defin itely not based on LOVECRAFT writings, nowhere near, his work is brilliant writing, building suspense and use of the language to bring the reader into the world being describes. this tv show does nothing of the sort.
guess its fine for some as their simple entertainment, but most everyone i spoke with was disappointed in the slickness but lack of any TRUE intellect. but again, modern entertainment is Not aimed at intellect, just to permeate a thick (or half-filled) skull not requiring not much real reflection.
if you enjoy it, great, its fun, good acting, we watch it, but since they snatched and appended the Lovecraft name we expected way more. READ lovecraft if you want to experience his true brilliance in horror. if you don't (can't) read, ok, be entertained by these many basic tv productions.
