Title: MAD MAN. MADDENING DIRECTOR. GOOD READ. Review: Kazan may well have been one of Hollywood's most hated men --- in 1952, he "named names" of peers and pals that were Communists during McCarthy's maniacal manhunt, something for which almost no one forgave him; so strong was Hollywood's hatred that when Kazan was chosen, in 1999, to receive an Honorary Oscar, he was publicly condemned as a traitor. But there's no arguing that Kazan was also a damn good director. (Think On the Waterfront, Gentleman's Agreement, A Face in the Crowd.) Noted film scholar Richard Schickel has penned a frank, unflinching biography, as smart as it is shrewd. Schickel's decision to put Kazan's decried decision into the context of its time and the director's life illuminates the personalities and preoccupations of the man who reshaped the way we look at theater and film.

Title: Not one of his better books Review: The story lacked deep character development and seemed to rush through setting the stage for the drama. I would've enjoyed learning more about Big King. Not in the same league as his other novels. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: "I Think I Do" have to see this movie again! Review: As a student at the George Washington University, I have to say that this was a great movie (not like I'm partial or anything). It was great to see a topic such as this come out of dormitory closets, and into mainstream! Right on! Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Very disappointing Review: I purchased the Yellowbird in September. I only used it two or three times a week, and by January it was broken. The heating element died and now it only blows cold air. I should have kept the cheap hair dryer I've had since high school. What a waste of money! Is the review positive or negative?
