Around the World in 80 Days (2021)
The title is the only thing in common with Jules Verne's vision
What a disappointment. Nothing wrong with tweaking a novel to adapt it for the screen. But this BBC has distorted the entire premise of the novel, changed the plot to the point of unrecognition, altered the character and motivations of the main protagonists, and needlessly added violent drama where none was needed. They even changed the path travelled to go around the world. Half the fun of the 1957 film was to see footage of other parts of the world. Unwatchable. I've had to turn away.
To Dine For with Kate Sullivan (2018)
Don't waste your time on this non-entity.
Who wants to watch some no-name wanna-be eat at a trendy restaurant with supposed celebrities? Not me. Can't believe that PBS stations actually broadcast this crap as part of their food show line-up. Don't waste your time. The premise is merely a way to get a tax deduction for travel and dining. The 'conversation' is thin, the food is weird, the vicarious thrill is non-existant. You learn little about the inerviewee and nothing about fine dining from this celeb chaser out for a free meal.
