Travelers (2016)
What a surprise!
This show is amazing. I have never seen a show that approaches all aspects of time travel so completely. Eric McCormack is perfect as the leader of this group of young actors, soon to be stars. The writing is on point! I have watched 22 episodes and am looking forward to the remaining ones while hoping for more in the future. Thank you Netflix for acquiring what I am guessing is a Canadian Broadcasting Company show.
Evilenko (2003)
A Weak Copy of Citizen X
In 1995, HBO produced a film called Citizen X which detailed the murder rampage of Andrei Chikatilo, who killed over 50 women and children.
Evilenko is a fictional representation of this serial murder spree which occurred in the Soviet Union during the fall of same in the late 1980's.
In every way, this version is weaker than Citizen X. The acting is inferior. Donald Sutherland, Max Von Sydow and Stephen Rea are exceptional whereas Malcolm McDowell is his usual overacting self and is not credible as the murderer.
The greatest weakness is an almost laughable explanation of how Evilenko seduced his victims. David Grieco, the writer and director, wants us to believe that Evilenko hypnotized his victims by staring at them.
Don't rent this. Instead, see Citizen X; a vastly superior movie in which the killer, using the actual name of the killer, Chikatilo, is played by the fabulous Jeffrey DeMunn with spine chilling conviction.
So You Think You Can Dance (2007)
Why Look at the Judges?
If people are dancing and they have about a minute to do so, why do the cameras show shots of the judges? It's not like they are singing and we can hear their voices. The music they are dancing to is not important. So let's look at the judges only when they are talking.
And let's talk about the judges. One of them has emotional ranges from laughter to crying in one 10 minute portion of the program. I realize that it's not real time but what editing! The middle one is an evil person who thinks that Simon Cowell is evil so she can be. Simon is not evil, he is brutally honest. The one man seems lost. He tries to give respect to the contestants, but he is alone.
Finally, this show is a stretch of American Idol and it doesn't cut it. Everybody can sing a little but very few can dance at all. So the bad is not funny, just bad and unwatchable.
