The Clan of the Cave Bear
Strangely this is too faithful to the book
The film is almost exactly like the book which in this case actually works out as a bad thing, for example the clan talk in grunts and gestures but with english subtitles. Despite this the subtleties of clan culture are somehow lost in the translation.
It is also in a 4:3 aspect ratio as in TV productions from a few decades ago and this gave it a cheap feel.
Fringe: Series 1
Rip of of X files but even less believable
The structure of this show is some government agents who look into apparently supernatural events - sounds very X file like.
Where it falls down though is that they have their own resident madman/genius scientist who seems to have been involved in everything and provides ludicrous explanations for everything which always turn out to be true.
I was optimistic but it just did not work out for me,
