Task: Sentiment Analysis
Input (English): A Curiosity . This DVD is a good way to see what Houdini looked like.  That's it for the positive side of this review.  The story is ridiculous, Houdini does no magic and only one escape.  That escape is so poorly photographed, however, that it appears as he is doing nothing more than rolling about on the ground to escape the "wet sheet" tie that was used in insane asylums at the time.  This film flopped at the theatres, and it seems obvious why - this is a vanity piece, ignoring the magic and escapes that made Houdini famous
Output (English): NEG
