The Investigation (2002)
Won a Gemini Award! Big Deal...
Winning this award is kind of like winning a participation ribbon in elementary school track & field day. Typical lame Canadian production with weak acting, foreboding music, and poorly scripted plot. The RCMP uniforms look like something out of an army surplus store.
Badlands, Texas (2015)
Lame Attempt at Cashing In on "Making a Murderer" Style Documentary
The producers of this went down to Terlingua after hearing about the brutal murder and picked out a half dozen characters in the town to build the story around What transpires is a disjointed tedious concoction of drunken ramblings of eccentric people. Repetition of the same video footage, cheesy high altitude drone shots, and wildlife clips, combined with irrelevant moments of the everyday lives of the characters who live there, resulted in dragging out this pathetic story outover eight episodes. At times, this documentary seemed like it was nothing more than an audio/video class project for a bunch of high school kids. Rhonda, the cougar character is so wasted in some of the footage, she makes Charlie Sheen's coke infused rants now seem genius.....
