Q: Title: a 'difficult' movie; unfortunately, it ain't very good either Product review: It's always a shame to see a really talented actor/ actress star in a dud of a movie, but that's exactly what happened to Jodie Foster with 1979's "Foxes". Directed by Adrian Lyne, who would later go on to direct the notorious "Fatal Attraction", "Foxes" is a cheap, lame-brained attempt at a gritty look into the dark side of teenage life. The movie suffers from a painful lack of character development and goes in a seemingly incoherent fashion from one scene to another, making it hard to stay focused. The movie isn't a TOTAL waste--a few dramatic scenes do at least catch your attention; and Jodie Foster, still under 18 when this was filmed, has a real charisma about her despite the fact that she isn't given much to work with. Plus, that piano melody of Donna Summer's "On The Radio" which crops up throughout adds a nice melancholy feel. Overall though, "Foxes" really is pretty lousy and can't be given much of a recommendation. Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?

Q: Title: Awaken the Diet Within: From Overweight to Looking Great Product review: I love this book! I have never been able to actually read a diet book before. Usually I will glance at a diet book and never pick it back up again. I'll have to admit that this book was given to me. However, I started reading it and I couldn't wait to read the next chapter. I like the fact that Julia lets you know it is okay to go slowly with lifestyle changes. It was so hard for me to quit drinking Pepsi. Now I find myself not even wanting Pepsi but heading straight for ice water. Julia helped me to understand that if you "cheat" then just get back on the healthy road again, don't give up completely, which is what I used to always do. Now if I happen to eat something that I shouldn't, I don't feel like life is over and I should resort back to the old unhealthy habits. I know I can just continue on the slow road to healthy living. After all, isn't losing weight too quickly unhealthy? Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?

Q: Title: Poor workmanship Product review: I bought these to replace the standard Ipod earbuds. The sound was ok. I'm not an audiophile or anything so for me they worked. Unfortunately after maybe two months the right bud just came apart where the gray meets the black. I was so disappointed.
