Who payed the critics
... View MoreVery interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
... View Morea film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
... View MoreIt really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
... View MoreChopped Canada is an awful, and at times disgusting cooking show. The fact that cooks are given weird, and completely random & unexpected combinations of ingredients, and are expected to make something very good out of it in 30 minutes, isn't good. Some cooks make acceptable meals, which are descent, but a lot of them create nasty meals which looks nasty. For example, in one of the episodes a cook made soup with meatballs or something like that. The soup looked like dog urine, and the meatballs looked like poop. Why would anyone wanna eat that, tell me? If proper, delicious meals are to be made, than ingredients have to match, so that in the final product the meal has a good balance of spices, salt, pepper, ingredients, and all that.Overall, Chopped Canada should just be canceled, and shut down, because I think almost everyone hates it. Of course as I said there are some descent meals made by cooks there, but other than that most of it is nasty, and just makes me want to vomit. Nobody wants to see those disgusting looking meals. If anyone who participated in the production of Chopped Canada, or anyone who made it is seeing this, then don't be offended, because its just the most honest truth I'm telling you. Just shut it down, honestly its nasty. This is a big suggestion I'm telling you to do, so just cancel the show, because like I said before no-one wants to see this disgusting stuff getting made.Thanks for taking your time to read this. Sincerely, Anonymous. (Oh I'm so anonymous, that I feel like a secret agent undercover, loll)
... View MoreThe "Chefs" that compete on this show seem to lack culinary knowledge and often seem to refer to themselves as "Cooks" and not Chefs, for those who don't know, trained chefs NEVER refer to themselves as "Cooks". The show also has a theme that they want to make sure you know this is a Canadian show by having a Canadian ingredient in each basket and making sure that they keep talking about how it's Canadian. Don't get me started on the Judges, they tend to be pretty condescending and themselves competing against their fellow judges. Having Dean McDermott as host is something hard to swallow (no pun intended), the choice to put him in as host was a bad one giving his shady past that many in the US audience can't forgive/forget. All in all, more thought went into building the set of the show rather than the dynamics of the show itself.
... View MoreThe latest chopped Canada episode was completely disappointing. The judges concentrated more on their egos and making the competition a PC popularity contest than focusing on the food and the actual taste of the dishes. I would suggest getting actual chefs or real foodies as judges rather than boorish half celebrities that want to be controversial just to get their names in the tabloids. It's usually a fun, interesting and informative show... But when the contestants story is put over the taste of the food, it's a boring disaster that I had to turn off and I recommend everyone else do the same. Don't waste your time. The chefs were actually quite good, but with the injustice of the judges, it was a disservice to them all. Shame on them.
... View MoreAlas, Chopped Canada, is missing the WOW! factor. It is a boring show. Unfortunately, a show in the Chopped vein must have a great Host. This show does not. I found myself looking forward to a commercial not what was going to happen next. The Host has no stage presence, camera appeal, even his look lacks any appeal whatsoever. Even the Judges have nothing important let alone interesting to say or add to the show. The entire show leaves me bored. Too bad, I'm a huge fan of CHOPPED! This show deserves to be revamped, rewritten, and perhaps that would make watching it worthwhile. It might be a good idea if the Producers, writers, judges, Host, even contestants all watch the original CHOPPED to draw inspiration from. I doubt CHOPPED CANADA will get any better though. It's just really, really, and I mean really a dull TV show. I'd only watch it if all the other TV channels were blacked out. Perhaps a new Host would turn the show around.
