13. Introduction What How Conclusion Sample reviews (negative polarity) a peculiar misfire that even tunney can't save. watching queen of the damned is like reading a research paper, with special effects tossed in. i can't remember the last time i saw worse stunt editing or cheaper action movie production values than in extreme ops. too much of nemesis has a tired, talky feel. i felt trapped and with no obvious escape for the entire 100 minutes. a baffling mixed platter of gritty realism and magic realism with a hard-to-swallow premise. an affable but undernourished romantic comedy that fails to match the freshness of the actress- producer and writer's previous collaboration, miss congeniality

14. Introduction What How Conclusion Sample reviews (positive polarity) emerges as something rare, an issue movie that's so honest and keenly observed that it doesn't feel like one. the film provides some great insight into the neurotic mindset of all comics -- even those who have reached the absolute top of the game. offers that rare combination of entertainment and education. perhaps no picture ever made has more literally showed that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. offers a breath of the fresh air of true sophistication. a thoughtful, provocative, insistently humanizing film. not for everyone, but for those with whom it will connect, it's a nice departure from standard moviegoing fare. is it a total success ? no. is it something any true film addict will want to check out ? you bet. engrossing and affecting, if ultimately not quite satisfying.
