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

Input: Consider Input: a movie laced with a good blend of action , comedy , and a heavy dose of musical celebrity guest appearances sounds pretty gourmet , but even the best ingredients can be thrown together in the wrong way , creating a dismal and unsatisfactory product .
eighteen years after the blues brothers hit theaters , blues brothers 2000 is being unleashed , minus half of its original duo ( the late john belushi ) and nearly all of its original charm .
dan aykroyd reprises his role ( as well as his co - writing credit ) as elwood blues , the sharp dressed con man who wreaked havoc on a self - proclaimed " mission from god " along with his brother jake and
their blues brothers band nearly eighteen years ago .
as we begin , elwood is being released from a state penitentiary along with the news of his brother 's death in prison years ago .
completely on his own , elwood decides to trace his roots back to the orphanage where he spent his childhood , only to discover that everyone he has ever known has passed away .
but elwood is n't completely without family .
it seems he has a half - brother of sorts - not a real brother mind you , just the illegitimate child of his bluesman pseudo - father curtis ( cab calloway from the first film ) , who has also passed on .
despite inklings from mother superior mary stigmata ( kathleen freeman ) to do otherwise , elwood seeks out his only remaining family in an effort to start up an all new blues brothers band .
working as a police commander , cabel chamberlain ( joe morton ) , has an immediate disliking for elwood , who nonchalantly fills cab in on his mother 's affair years ago and then goes on to steal his wallet .
following elwood around is the lonely orphan buster ( j . evan bonifant ) , who quickly learns to become a mini - elwood .
when bartender mighty mack mcteer ( john goodman ) joins the group , the blues brothers band is complete , and once again , the group travels the country , crashing cars , blowing things up , and obstructing peace with more than just solid blues rock .
meanwhile , cab 's personal vendetta against elwood leads him on an impassioned manhunt for his next - to - next - of - kin .
> from this point ,
the movie turns into a series of music videos with a few bits of acting in between .
those hoping for an interesting and/or funny yarn are given too many musical interludes while those heavily interested in the music are given too much of a story .
only the extremely avid blues fans should attempt getting thru these two hours .
for those people , it may be worth it , for luckily there is much more music than shoddy attempts at acting , but when the story does intrude upon the festivities , the film is heavily bogged down with unfunny jokes , musicians turned stiff actors , and the pointless 10-year- old buster attempting to add some sort of home alone cuteness to the whole thing .
appearances by musical legends such as aretha franklin , james brown , eric clapton , and a whole slew of others are the high points of the film , but they also confirm why these people are musicians and not actors .
blues brothers 2000 is deserving of one whole star simply because if you really , really love this kind of music , you might kind of , sort of like this movie .
many , many scenes are nauseatingly unfunny , and if you do n't have a passion for very deep blues / rock ,
you 'll be bored out of your skull .
much of this film seems nothing more than aykroyd 's self - serving vanity project , but no matter how much fun aykroyd may be having with this , none of the excitement is passed on to the audience . and seeing three guys in three - piece suits goofily dancing around with poker faces can only be funny for so long . unfortunately , those two seconds are over about fifteen minutes into the film .

] star trek : first contact a film review by michael
dequina copyright 1996 michael dequina star trek :
first contact ( pg-13 ) anyone familiar with the series of star trek movies knows of the " even - odd pattern " --the even - numbered installments of the series are good while the odd - numbered ones are , well , not - so - good .
the pattern continues with the new star trek : first contact , an energetic sci - fi adventure that
( coincidentally ? ) is the eighth entry in the hugely popular series .
in this first trek feature to feature only cast members from the late star trek : the next generation television series , captain jean - luc picard ( patrick stewart ) and the rest of the 24th - century crew of the starship enterprise -- commander will riker ( jonathan frakes , who also directed ) , android lt .
cmdr .
data ( brent spiner ) , lt .
cmdr .
geordi laforge ( levar burton ) , lt .
cmdr .
worf ( michael dorn ) , dr .
beverly crusher ( gates mcfadden ) , and counselor deanna troi ( marina sirtis )
--travel back to 21st - century earth while doing battle with the borg , a race of cybernetic beings that share a collective mind with the borg queen ( alice krige ) .
the borg intend to alter history and assimilate all of humankind into their race -- starting with the earth - orbiting crew of the enterprise and a 21st century stowaway ( alfre woodard ) .
this is an interesting plotline that is sure to mesmerize trekkers everywhere and engage everyone else , but , unfortunately , it only makes up the star trek half of the script by brannon braga and
ronald d . moore .
the other half of the title -- first contact -- refers to a subplot that takes place on 21st - century earth , where riker , troi , and laforge meet legendary scientist zephram cochran ( james cromwell ) , who is about to embark on the first warp speed flight in human history , which directly leads to the first contact with extraterrestrials .
while this story does tie into the main plot and pays off interestingly in the end , it is nowhere near as involving or exciting as the borg battles on the enterprise .
not helping matters is the tiresome cochran character , an eccentric whose drunken schtick starts out funny but becomes too one - note after a while .
in the end , though , the first contact subplot does n't detract from the enjoyment of the film as a whole .
the story is typical sci - fi fantasy , but the conviction of the cast -- most notably the always - phenomenal stewart -- makes you believe and care .
frakes , making his feature directorial debut , keeps the action swiftly rolling along and delivers the action goods , even upping the violence a notch ( this is the first trek film to bear a pg-13 rating ) to greater effect .
st : fc has a bigger budget than the last trek outing , the middling star trek generations , and it definitely shows on screen -- the production design and especially visual and makeup effects are outstanding
( in particular those involving the borg queen ) .
braga and moore 's mostly sharp script will please both trek devotees and the rest ; the references to the borg storyline in the tv series , the continuity with the previous film ( e . g .
the ongoing saga of data 's emotion chip ) , and a fleeting star trek : voyager crossover will make trekkers squeal with delight , but such points are made easily accessible to those less familiar to the trek mythos .
paramount was reportedly worried about the staying power of its trek franchise with the next generation cast now carrying the helm .
based on the entertaining success that is star trek : first contact , i 'd say the studio has nothing to worry about
( at least not until this cast retires and the crew of the wan star trek : deep space nine takes over . . . ) .

Input: Consider Input: anyone who saw alan rickman 's finely - realized performances in truly madly deeply and sense and sensibility will be unsurprised that the actor - turned - director is a bit of a poet at heart .
however , for those who recall him only as the maniacal villain of die hard and robin hood : prince of thieves , this recognition may be something of a shock .
nevertheless , " poetic " is an excellent term to describe rickman 's feature debut as a director , the winter guest .
the film has a simple , unhurried rhythm that uses all of the available elements to fashion a successful whole .
the result is an occasionally haunting , sometimes magical , and always insightful human drama .
the winter guest is n't about resolving plot threads and advancing a story line ; it 's about exploring relationships and examining life in all of its stages .
the winter guest does not tell a traditional tale , nor does it ascribe to a conventional narrative structure ?
there is no real beginning or end .
instead , we are given an opportunity to observe one day in the lives of eight humans .
they represent both sexes , multiple generations , and a variety of relationships ?
male and female ; young , middle - aged , and elderly ; friends , would - be lovers , and kin .
we see expectations fulfilled and disappointed , emotional boundaries eroded , and truths unveiled .
there is comedy and tragedy .
most importantly , much of what transpires during the course of the winter guest will find an echo in our own lives ?
in this fiction can be found much truth .
the setting is small town in scotland on the coldest day of the year .
it 's so frigid that the sea has begun to freeze over .
the onshore wind cuts like a knife and snow blankets the beach , giving the terrain an alien appearance .
it is against this backdrop that the relationships of the film are captured .
there are four pairings , and , although there is some interaction between the different twosomes , the winter guest 's focus is on the dynamics internal to each relationship .
the first , meatiest pairing is that of elspeth ( phylida law ) and her recently - widowed daughter , frances ( emma thompson ) .
these two have a stormy relationship .
they love each other deeply , but both are stubborn and willful , and neither is willing to admit that they need the other .
much of their interaction is argumentative , but , during the course of a long walk to the frozen shoreline , they come to an unspoken understanding of how much each means to the other .
frances ' adult son , alex ( gary hollywood ) , is a lonely young man who has been caring for his mother since the death of his father .
on this day , he meets a girl , nita ( arlene cockburn ) , who has secretly been spying on him for weeks .
although their first encounter is antagonistic ( she throws a snowball at him ) , both quickly become aware of an undeniable attraction .
once they retire to a place where they can be alone , however , things do n't go exactly as planned .
lily ( sheila reid ) and chloe ( sandra voe ) are a couple of old friends who are frequent funeral attendees .
death is a topic of endless fascination for them , perhaps because they are so close to it , and they spend their spare time scanning the obituaries , looking for the next funeral or cremation in the area .
it does n't matter whether or not they knew the deceased .
it 's the ceremony that they 're interested in .
sam ( douglas murphy ) and tom ( sean biggerstaff ) , a pair of schoolboy chums , are spending this cold february day cutting classes and hanging out at the beach , horsing around , building a small fire for warmth , and walking on the frozen water .
unlike lily and chloe , these two have their entire lives ahead of them .
they are young enough to still believe in magic , but old enough to recognize that the process of crossing into adulthood robs life of the simple joy that only children can experience .
the acting is strong and believable .
the mixture of veteran performers and first - timers is effective , with the most successful choice being the casting of real - life mother and daughter phylida law and emma thompson in the most prominent roles .
there is a chemistry in their interaction that would be hard to replicate with two different , non - related actors .
and , of course , the physical resemblance makes it that much easier to accept elspeth and frances as parent and child .
the winter guest began its life as a stage play in 1995 , with rickman as the director .
four of the film 's principals , phylida law , arlene cockburn , sheila reid , and sandra voe , appeared in the theatrical version before moving to the film .
unlike several recent motion pictures adapted from plays , the winter guest has been successfully opened up .
the rough , bleak scottish countryside becomes as much of a character as any of the eight humans .
in fact , considering how important the climate is to every relationship under rickman 's microscope , it could be argued that this is the single most important element of the movie .
if you appreciate character studies , the winter guest is a solid effort with enough power to stay with you after you have left the theater .
