The Profit (2013)
A great show that shows why most small businesses fail
A reality show with some similarities to Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares. Marcus Lemonis is a self made millionaire who specialises in investing in struggling small businesses and turning them around.
Unlike some of the other reviewers, I have watched all available episodes and can tell you, it doesn't always finish with hugs between Marcus and the business owners. Lemonis puts up his own money on a handshake with the owner and makes a deal that he will run the business for 7 days for a share of future profits. Sometimes the owners are on board, sometimes it's a struggle and sometimes they try and screw Lemonis after he shows them the way.
A great show if you have any interest in small business and why so many small businesses with a great idea, fail.
Well worth a look.
The Tree of Life (2011)
Truly awful
I have never written a review for IMDb before but this movies was so bad, that I felt obliged to warn people. This was possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. It was a self absorbed abomination of sight and sound that pounds the human soul into submission. If you weren't depressed before you watch this movie, then be prepared because in a couple of hours of self indulgent rubbish, you will be. There is a 30 min sequence of images around the world with some questionable music that you would think came from one of those annoying powerpoint emails that we all get from time to time. Some people will love it just like some people like Police Academy 15. It is depressing. Save your money.
