Ques:Title: Sadly diminished Review: Although I have enjoyed many of Arthur C. Clarke's books, this is one that made almost no impression upon me. Perhaps I've gotten used to the conventions of the genre which this book in part set up from scratch, but knowing that a book was groundbreaking in its time and now simply reflects standard cliches does not make it any easier to enjoy. The aliens, despite their initially mysterious behaviour, turn out to be all-too-human and banal; the touching but rather juvenile faith in the UN and other world institutions that permeates most of the book reeks of 1950s transnationalism; and the mystical aspects of the book are rather amateurish and anti-intellectual. Compare this to Theodore Sturgeon's To Marry Medusa and you will find Childhood's End seems like an appetizer in comparison to the literary feast that Sturgeon presents on a similar topic. Unless you're eager to explore the antecedents of modern sci-fi cliches, I can't honestly recommend this novel. Is the review positive or negative?

Ques:Title: Darn WB, not really New Line Review: This is ridiculous... another release. Even Peter Jackson himself was disgusted with what WB is trying to do. Since they saw what New Line Cinema did and raked in the bucks. They wanted to do it as well and screw us fans over. At least New Line Cinema did the mistake first and actually had motives for it. But WB is just a piece of doo doo company. The only thing that has come out of that studio is the Dark Knight, hahaha. I wonder how much money they are losing for producing a senseless BluRay copy of a great film. I wont even buy the EE BluRay editions when we have heard from Porras & Jackson interview saying there is WAY more footage left over. Im waiting for The Hobbit and LOTR combo.

Ques:Title: ITS IRISH NOT ITALIAN Review: This product says its an Italian flag, but it seriously borders the orange red boundary. If youre Italian, the last thing you want is for people to think youre Irish. Get a different flag. Not worth it. Is the review positive or negative?

Ques:Title: Not what it's cracked up to be. Review: A real downer that goes nowhere good.The commercials made it look like a comedy, so I watched this movie on tv tonight. Well, it's anything but.It's a hodge-podge of reminicenses about a woman who lost the love of her life early, never gets over it, becomes an alcoholic... while her siblings (hence the sisterhood), subsequent husband (a boring self-appointed martyr) and innocent children suffer right along with her.Ashley Judd gives a good performance, but it's not enough to save this film.My rating: Skip It Is the review positive or negative?
