The 11th Hour (2007)
The Idea is there but the Solution is unattainable.
The message is there in this film but the idea given is simply unattainable. The scientists and important figures featured are appalled at how destructive we are as a society. Thing is we ARE a destructive society we use manipulation and intimidation along with power and strength to control what we feel is rightfully ours. Not all of society is like this way but a majority of it is and what the interviewees fail to realize is that, that will never change. Only a small few will take on the challenge of global destruction put forth by humans in an attempt to reverse the damaging effects but attempts to conquer it will be thwarted by the ruthlessness of man.
The issues arisen in the film are indeed relevant but have already been assessed as a major impact on the part of change and therefore makes this film seem dated.
Imagery and narration are beautiful but the film lacks a realistic approach to a solution that is inevitable.
The Singing Bee (2007)
Good Idea Poorly Done
This show has all the potential in the world, great idea's, catchy well known tunes, and upbeat contestants. It does have you singing along with the contestants and does show how little or much you actually know of the songs you hear day to day. However the show itself is poorly done with cheesy dancers, over exaggerated crowd, and a host (Joey Fatone) that doesn't really fit the role. It has no substance and lacks the emotional attachment that many other game shows embody. This show does have the ability to be a contender but that cannot be until they change the host, and the cheesy feel that the show brings. But if you are looking to watch middle aged people make complete fools of themselves than this show is the answer.
