I watch a lot of documentaries. So far I have found two big losers. The first one is Every Little Step, which as Amazon puts it is "it's about dancers auditioning for a Broadway revival of a musical about dancers auditioning for a musical".The whole film felt like some bad reality show you would watch on MTV. I was watching it, but f I had the will or know how I would of changed the channel. There is no way to explain it except for it belongs on TV where you can change the channel not on DVD.
The second loser was What The Bleep Do We Know!? Again I go to product description:
WHAT THE BLEEP DO WE KNOW?! is a new type of film. It is part documentary, part story, and part elaborate and inspiring visual effects and animations. The protagonist, Amanda, played by Marlee Matlin, finds herself in a fantastic Alice in Wonderland experience when her daily, uninspired life literally begins to unravel, revealing the uncertain world of the quantum field hidden behind what we consider to be our normal, waking reality. She is literally plunged into a swirl of chaotic occurrences, while the characters she encounters on this odyssey reveal the deeper, hidden knowledge she doesn't even realize she has asked for. Like every hero, Amanda is thrown into crisis, questioning the fundamental premises of her life ? that the reality she has believed in about how men are, how relationships with others should be, and how her emotions are affecting her work isn't reality at all! (amazon.com)
I didn't know that was Marlee Matlin, I've always wanted to see Children of a Lesser God. I turned this film off fairly early. I couldn't get behind their idea that the Native Americans couldn't see Columbus coming to the New World, because they didn't know what ships were. Since they didn't know what they were, they couldn't see them. All they could see is the wake the ships made in the sea. Really? So if I don't know something exists I can't see it? How about when I go into a store and see a new product? I didn't know it existed, but there it is... I've told people how dumb I think this is, but also mused that they might of redeemed themselves later, but I will never know.
(Amazon Associates won't let me post the normal link and picture for these films, it's like they know I'm talking crap abut them. :) )
