Reel to Real (1992)
Great show with opinions, not paid-for advertisements.
I am writing to voice my support for what I think is a great show. I'm not a fan of reviewers usually, but Reel to Real not only provides a review, they give a telling, but not over revealing look at the movies; behind the scenes; intelligent, non-stereotypical interviews with directors and actors. The reviews by Richard, Geoff and Katrina are very informative and best of all, entertaining to watch. They seem to be having a lot of fun on the show, which I feel extends to their viewers as well, which makes for fun viewing. I find that they come across as very knowledgeable about more than just movies, but also about the different movie genres and movie history. When they review a movie, their review goes beyond the scope of the movie itself. They enlighten us with a bit of movie history about the actors and film-makers and make comparisons with other movies which make the review that much more complete. Another part I really enjoy watching is when Richard gets a chance to interview an actor or director. He seems to know a lot about a movie's origin and about the history of the actor/director that he is interviewing, which shows in his well thought-out questions. When I watch the show, I actually feel like I am getting an opinion, and not a paid-for advertisement.
