The Navigator (2014)
Surprisingly Good Movie
Overall, I liked this movie. The best part for me was the sound of the Navigator's voice. Gotta love Gemma Laurelle ...
As to who The Navigator really was, I suspect it was either the marriage counselor or the traffic cop. Who else would have intimate knowledge of the not-so-happy relationships of several couples (each of whom met the same fate)?
Just my theory. But, yes, gotta love that voice ...
Jericho: Fallout (2006)
Intrusive & Inappropriate Music
Like so many other Hollywood productions, many of this TV show's dramatic moments are undermined by a cheesy musical score.
Easily the best example in this 2nd episode is the ending scene with the red push-pins and the USA map. The sizable collection of push-pins (each one representing a destroyed American urban area) was a very effective way of informing the viewer that Denver & Atlanta were only 2 of several cities which were destroyed. Sadly, much of the emotional impact of this ending scene was undermined by the tasteless accompanying guitar music which belonged on a "Friends" TV episode or some other mindless tripe.
Annoying music aside, this 2nd episode isn't bad.
