In this task, you must classify if a given review is positive/negative, indicating your answer as P or N.

quiz show , an almost perfectly accurate true story , is based upon the events of the popular television show of the mid-50 's , " twenty - one " .
on this trivial game show , contestants were placed in isolation booths and then answered questions corresponding to a category of their choice , on which they wagered an amount of points on .
the game went on until a player reached twenty one points on felt they had earned enough points to win .
but , after ratings began to fall when players were struggling to break the zero mark , the producers decided to fix the game by giving the answers to a contestant before the game began .
quiz show illustrates the true stories of two particular contestants , herbie stempel and charles van doren .
stempel ( john turturro ) , a former g .
i .
and your jewish man raising a family .
stempel has been the reigning champion on " twenty - one " for many weeks and has accumulated thousands of dollars .
in his mind , he is the best thing on television and the people love him .
although , in the mind of the show 's producers , herbie stempel is getting old .
dan enright ( david paymer ) , in particular , feels that the people are tired of seeing a " jewish guy from queens with bad teeth " and that the kids need someone better to look up to .
therefore , they need to find another contestant whom would be a worthy role model and the people will look up to and cheer to win .
someone who can defeat stempel , even if they have to resort to cheating .
enter charles van doren ( ralph fiennes ) , a well - educated professor from a widely recognized family .
van doren had decided to try out for the game show " tic tac dough " because his friends thought he would be good at that sort of thing .
but when albert freedman ( hank azaria ) , enright 's assistant , spots van doren , the two decide that they have found their soon - to - be - ruler of the " twenty - one " kingdom .
van doren is not too keen on the idea of receiving the answers ahead of time , so enright tells stempel that he is going to give the wrong answer , on purpose , in order to lose the game .
after stempel loses the " throne " to van doren , he starts to feel cheated ( which he should ) .
meanwhile , on his own , dick goodwin ( rob morrow ) , a harvard law graduate , has decided to start an investigation on " twenty - one " to try and find out if there have been any wrongdoings .
his investigation yields shocking results and leads to a trial for enright and the others involved .
quiz show is an extremely well done movie , and robert redford 's direction is especially superb
.
the performances turned in by john turturro , ralph fiennes , and rob morrow are very good , although it seems that turturro stands out more than any .
quiz show is also very precise when it comes to explicating the true events that inspired the film .
definitely a film you should not miss .

everything about this ninth trek movie seems on the cheap , from the roger corman - grade special effects to its highly derivative and ugly ad campaign
( the poster is nearly identical to that of star trek
vi : the undiscovered country ) .
but piller 's not - quite - half - baked screenplay should ultimately claim responsibility for insurrection 's failure .
i 'm about to give the same advice to rick berman and co .
as i 've given to the financiers of james bond movies : it 's time to breathe life into this workhorse by hiring solid genre writers and a real director .
( while we 're at it , put that visor back on laforge ! )
for three hundred years , the ba'ku species ( who look just like humans ) have lived on a ringed - planet that might as well be called the fountain of youth .
six hundred of them occupy the briar patch , the area affected by metaphasic radition , a positive energy that reverses the aging process in the elderly .
but evil ru'afo ( this is probably abraham 's last stop before performing " amadeus " at a dinner theatre near you ) , leader of the son'a ( who look just like burn victims after reconstructive surgery ) , wants to relocate the ba'ku and movie his people onto the briar patch in their place , in order to replenish his dying breed .
the federation is all for this , but picard feels this is a direct violation of the prime directive : to not interfere with the development of an alien race .
( never mind that the ba'ku did n't exactly evolve - they went wandering in the universe one day and stumbled upon the magic world . )
every time frakes gives an interview lately , he seems to top whatever ludicrous statement he last gave regarding this installment .
he has called it a comedy , a thinking man 's picture , a throwback to the old series , and , most grievously , he has likened it to a john ford western .
( i presume that 's some john ford
he went to school with , not the director of the searchers . )
he has also gone on record as saying paramount recut the film from his version .
that 's no excuse -
someone generated this footage .
muddy cinematography and sitcom sets are the least of its problems ; star trek : insurrection appears to have been beamed in from the planet plotholia . consider such curiosities . . .
picard 's love interest , anij ( donna murphy ) , can slow things down by staring at them ( such as a waterfall or falling rocks ) -her scientific explanation for this ?
" do n't ask .
"
worf gets a pimple ( he 's re - experiencing klingon puberty thanks to the time - defying atmosphere ) , laforge regains his eyesight ( trust me , levar burton 's real eyes are scarier than those electronic lenses he wore in first contact ) and troi brags about her firm boobs , but picard remains as bald as an android 's butt .
most suspiciously , what exactly is the problem with letting this endangered race have a little fun in the sun ?
the filmmakers cloud the issue with some nonsense about a family feud of sorts , and they also turn ru'afo into a completely power - mad superfreak , just so the characters will have something to do in the climax .
( and if you 've seen return of the jedi , you 've seen the ending of this movie . ) did n't picard himself previously disobey the prime directive when he prevented the borg from assimilating millions ?
frakes lucked out with first contact , and repeat viewings of that film reveal the seeds of what went wrong in his direction of insurrection :
he has no sense of comic timing , and he mines for acting chemistry where none exists .
( take a look at the painful " troi gets drunk " scene in fc and you 'll get the general idea of insurrection 's unsuccessfully jokey and hollow tone . )
even the worst shatner and co .
treks , like the final frontier , maintained a watchability thanks to the effortless ,
charming comaraderie between kirk , spock , and bones .
neither first contact nor insurrection has any idea what to do with crusher ( gates mcfadden , whom i must say maintains a fabulous physique ) , troi , or laforge .
and all three next generation films spend too much time on data , who is the franchise 's answer to urkel .
need a cheap laugh ?
have data say something sexual , or start singing , or lift up a four hundred pound boulder as if it 's the hunk of styrofoam it really is .
here 's my proposed title for number 10 : data star data trek : data data data data data .
in this movie , data will become preoccupied with learning to blow his nose , while crusher and troi watch silently from 500 yards away and laforge points his sinister gaze at the android in doubly robotic observation .
star trek : insurrection had one nice , eerie , silent moment that hints at a better , darker film .
i 'm not saying all of them should be star trek
ii : the wrath of khan , but this one boldly went where no movie should go again .

the long and illustrious career of robin williams , which has included both forgettable turns like mrs .
doubtfire and flubber , was punctuated with the actor 's first academy award in 1998 for his role in good will hunting .
it was his first truly dramatic role since 1989 's dead poets society , and critical remarks were unanimously positive .
his next role , that of a deceased pediatrician in what dreams may come , was unfortunately lackluster .
and so , after a six - year stint as a comedic actor , the proof on whether or not williams can cut it in the dramatic league has come down to patch adams .
williams is the title character , hunter " patch " adams , sporting scruffy facial hair that falls between the clean - shavenness of dreams and the grotesque hairiness of will hunting .
we 're introduced to patch as he commits himself to a mental institution because of his suicidal tendancies .
it 's at the institution , however , that he discovers a latent talent for relating to people .
he removes himself from the institution and enrolls at the university of virginia 's medical college , where he finds that medical doctrine is a calculating , impersonal trade .
his attempts to inject humanity into the profession result in several bouts with expulsion , and the movie climaxes with patch 's appearance before the state medical board .
the characters are well - defined in an oscar - worthy sense .
although the script does not perform well as a narrative -- there 's little story to be told outside of patch 's skit - length experiences -- the script does go a long way toward building the relationships of characters .
at medical school , patch meets up with truman schiff ( daniel london ) , an outsider like himself who relishes patch 's zest for humanity .
the two instantly become the best of friends , and it 's easy to see why .
monica potter plays patch 's love interest , a young woman who personifies the things that patch hates about medical school .
for some reason he 's attracted to her , and although it never gets said , the audience understands from an intrinsic point of view .
the script -- based on hunter adams ' own story -- works well this way .
the rest of the cast , bob gunton as the villain professor in particular , is solid .
director tom shadyac ( liar liar ) leads us in and out of patch 's life in a sound , intentional manner ; combined with williams ' presence on screen , the movie rarely becomes boring .
patch adams ' lack of purpose is its major shortcoming , and for the first ninety minutes out of two hours , there 's little feeling of continuity or the passage of time .
nevertheless , it 's an emotionally moving picture , and patch adams looks to be one of the more memorable of the holiday season .
it succeeds at everything it tries , and only fails at the stuff it does n't try in the first place .
by and large there may be another oscar nomination herein for williams , but more importantly ,
it 's entertainment for the entire family .
