1.0 out of 5 stars Beyond Bad (negative stars). A real ripoff, March 8, 2008

This review is from: Globe Trekker: Turkey (DVD)

Justine Shapiro, an unattractive spoiled young woman goes to a country with some of the greatest archeological sites in the world, and ends up producing a video featuring (what else?) herself involved in a series of trivial activities. She spends only a few moments in Ephesus because (surprise, surprise) it's too crowded, but spends a lot of time on living in a tree house youth hostel on Mt. Olympus, races through the tunnels of Cappadocia being oh-so-cute, the same with a peasant wedding. And all interspersed with poorly focused and faded footage of the Anatolian plateau taken from bus windows. But if you do buy this bomb, you'll get to see lots of pictures of (what else) Justine Shapiro.

Justine appears, by the way, in a green dress with a hem so high that it barely covers her Thunder Thighs, a curious choice in a country where conservative dress is appreciated.

I've been to Turkey, and it's a fascinating country, but you'll never know it from watching this stinker.

A much better quality video on the same topic is: Biblical Treasures of Turkey

This review is from: Globe Trekker: Turkey [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is an awful video. The visuals spend too much time on the narrator and other tourists and not enough on the sights. The narrative is banal , and half the time you can't hear it because the "background" music is so loud. It's as if no one listened to it before it was released. Incredibly it skips Istanbul completely . On the positive side, it does show some interesting out of the way places.
