Title: Ah! Jessica Walters - Beautiful but frghtening! Review: We decided to watch this movie after having listened to some music the other night at dinner. It was Johnny Mathis singing "Misty". It reminded me of the movie which I probably haven't seen since sometime in the 80s. It's not a perfect movie, but the suspense is well done. Paradoxically, there was some empathy evoked for the femme fatale - a perverted allure to her beauty and devotion. What is really frightening to me is not how she manifested her obsession but how real this kind of obsession is. My recommendation is watch the movie if you haven't yet and see it again if you have! Is the review positive or negative?

Positive

Title: A disappointment Review: I tried. I really, really tried, but I simply could NOT get into this book.I usually give a novel one chapter to draw me in, but because of all the good reviews this book received, I read five. It was no good. I was bored. I just didn't care about the characters or the plot.I love thrillers, but this one left me cold. It's not that Seymour is a bad writer, he just isn't a very good one. There was nothing wrong with his writing, aside from leaving the reader bored and wondering when the action would start.There are too many good books out there to waste your time on a boring one. This is strictly my opinion. Several other reviewers loved this book, so to each his own.This was my first Gerald Seymour book and will probably be my last. Is the review positive or negative?
(Answer)
Negative

Title: Film didn't pass, really flunked. Review: This film had every chance in the world to make a meaningful statement about racial prejudice and threw each one away. Sonja Wilde's part, where she is obviously white or pale, is not very believable when she tells an employer she is part black so she can't get a job. James Franciscus overacts as her racist husband, but his script is at fault. The story needed some compelling event where she could admit she was part black and he could try to accept it (ex. the baby lived and resembled him as the real father) but instead he only rants and raves that she shouldn't socialize with black people. A bit too long where our bride must lie about her black father with no DVD extras to relieve the tedium. Is the review positive or negative?
