Q: Title: Loses its way Review: Completely peters out about the halfway mark, when you've seen everything there is to see and know exactly how the last 150 or so pages will proceed. Maintains a nice, creepy atmosphere for that first half (despite a complete lack of characterization), but once you discover what's going on it's just a slow countdown to each bloody death.In movie terms, this is (far) less 'The Shining' than it is a 'Hostel' or a 'Saw.' If you're into cartoon sadism, go for it. If you're into subtle spooks, just read the first half - you'll know what comes next. Is the review positive or negative?
A: Negative


Q: Title: Sex and Violence Review: I saw this movie in an Italian film class. My professor, like the majority of the reviewers here, sees Wertmüller's message of class distinctions in Italian society and gender relationships in civilization easily and applauds her vision. Myself and quite a few of the students in his class cannot. Speaking only for myself, I say that I cannot understand why her message must be polluted with S&M behavior and borderline sexual assault. As an artist I know that there are an infinite number of ways to communicate the differences of class, political ideologies, and sexual relationships without depending on kinky sex and violence. But I also know that censorship is a hateful thing. And so, my review serves as a sort of warning: you will see Oscar-caliber acting, direction and cinematography, but you will also see a very ugly side of humanity, one that I can't agree with.

Q: Title: If you are devoted to the Brontes and to _Wuthering Heights, Review: If you are devoted to the Brontes and to _Wuthering Heights,_ you will probably want to swallow twice and pony up for this facsimile of the original edition of the novel. There's something breath-taking in seeing it as Emily Bronte, with only a year or so to live, saw her own work in 1847. The crudeness of the text--typos abound--somehow corresponds to the roughness of the sensibility that produced it. And since the original publisher wanted to spread it out so as to sell thicker book, it's easy on the eyes.The book is sewn in heavy, orangish cloth and feels substantial; in these days of flashy, cheaply produced volumes, this two volume set is a happy throwback. Is the review positive or negative?
