It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
View MoreThe plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
View MoreIt is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
View MoreThe story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
View MoreReminds me of the Wild West "snake doctor". Always speaks so fast, words tumbling out of his mouth. I like high energy but this just feels weird. And the few times I've tuned in, he's always selling some "miracle" product. Just a sly fox. Once in a while you hear something that at least alerts your attention.
View MoreThis show can encourage good health habits. The trouble is you have to sort out the bad advice from the good stuff and that is not easy to do. There are also the sensational guests who show up during sweeps who are there to boost ratings and offer nothing that is factual.Oprah Winfreys Harpo Productions has made her a Billionaire with this type of show. It is condescending beyond reality. One show will deal with a legitimate way to deal with a health issue. Another show will deal with another way to deal with the same issue that contradicts the other method.Yes, this is a reality show wrapped into bubble gum and then blown out at people. Dr. Oz name is used in a lot of internet scams too. Then again, there are shows where it is obvious something is being pushed by a sponsor for their gain, and not the audience well-being.There can be value to this as it illustrates plainly how well fake news can be wrapped in with real news and sea food until the fish spoils because it got left in the hot lights. Then the next show puts the spoiled seafood back on ice and ex tolls it's benefits.Then during the sweeps someone like OJ shows up to tell us why he did or didn't do it. Then again, there are shows about health and OJ (the real juice) too. Maybe the North Korea guy will show up during the next sweeps and explain his contribution to climate change?
View MoreIT HAS BEEN said that "Politics makes for strange bedfellows." Well, just a word to the wise for whomever it was who did say that, well so does daytime television.IT WAS QUITE by accident that we stumbled onto this gem of an information bank. Wehad of course, heard about him and his ride to fame in the electronic media, due to his association with Oprah Winfrey. Being vaguely familiar, however, did not last long once we got a load of his hourly 'appointments.' UPON FIRST OBSERVATION one would surmise that this was strictly a women's show; for, after all, the audience seems to be, like Ivory Snow, 99 44/100 female. It is easy to see why; for Dr. Oz, that sly fox, is a born Ladies' Man! Energetic and truly pleasant, he always charms. He never appears to be using a teleprompter, nor to be using any previously prepared scripted material. Intelligent, natural and humble are three of his strong points, among others.ALTHOUGH THE GOOD Doctor's audience may be a girl's club, the information he presents is largely useful to anyone, regardless of their sex. Nutrition myths exploded seems to be a major theme; as Doc presents us with examples of the latest evidence about just what's good for us. As often as not, segments like this are dramatized with the assistance of an MD or PhD, who has both extensive experience and expertise in that particular field being discussed.INSTINCTIVELY, THE SHOW'S production team knew to make maximum use of audience participation by audience members. Certain subject matter will also require the use of his "Special Assistant" of the day; an honor that seems likely to be as coveted as "Prom Queen" or "Miss Congeniality!" THE VARIOUS 'SKITS' that are carefully contrived to be both entertaining and informative, are some over-sized "Rube Goldberg-type" props. In that manner, humor is added to the programs arsenal. And this would be the sort of humor that often makes reference to that which is already familiar to us in the Pop Culture world. His mock panel show, 'FAMILY FOOD', is a prime example.IF YOU AREN'T yet familiar with THE DR.OZ SHOW, you should give it a try; even if you are a male. But remember, view it with pen and notebook in hand. But, if you don't keep a running short hand narrative, no problem; for his programs may be downloaded at his website www.doctoroz.com. (Clever, these Americans!)
View MoreThe program is geared toward people with absolutely no attention span and offers little useful information. Mostly sensational in its format, the presentations are geared toward selling a nutrient, micro nutrient, or "procedure" being marketed by the guests. Medically and scientifically, the show has huge gaps. The games he used to have at the end, "Jeopardy-like" were abandoned this season -- and good riddance. They made a mockery of both the contestants and the issues being addressed -- the games were supposed to be substantive, to teach the viewer something. They always fell short.A final observation: there is rarely any follow up with the guests who've had to lose considerable weight, or whom he's challenged to make major changes in lifestyle. Why? Doesn't he/producers believe in what they're doing? Let's see these successes (or not) and work harder to help them, rather than just making 'examples' out of them on TV.
