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

[EX Q]: rated : r for strong language , sexual dialogue , drug use , crude humor , violence and brief nudity .
starring : ben affleck , matt damon , linda fiorentino , salma hayek , alan rickman , chris rock , kevin smith , jason mewes , jason lee , george carlin , alanis morissette .
running time : 130 minutes being a huge fan of kevin smith , i was expecting a lot out of his newest project ' dogma ' .
it might just be kevin 's best work to date .
it 's very funny with smart and foul - mouthed dialogue while unexpectedly it has a serious undertone to it and besides going against god and jesus christ , it actually tries to tell people that there is such a thing rather than that there is n't .
in 1994 a little $ 27 , 000 movie premiered at sundance .
this little film was called ' clerks ' and this little film went on to become a huge video sensation .
you really ca n't meet a person on this green earth who has not seen ' clerks ' .
it was hailed by critics as one of the best movies of the year and soon a sequel is coming .
in 1995 kevin made another movie ' mallrats ' that flopped horribly , thought it was not the best movie ever made it was a pretty good little flick .
it was panned by critics but hailed by audiences and in 1997 ' chasing amy ' came out and was kevin 's biggest success to date .
now in 1999 we get a great little movie by the name of ' dogma ' .
wow !
what a cast .
ok here is the plot in this movie : linda fiorentino plays a regular woman who works at an abortion clinic .
one day at her house metatron ( the voice of god ) appears at her house much to her surprise and tells her that she must stop two fallen angels ( matt damon and ben affleck ) from getting back into heaven by ways of a church .
ok now get this , she is told to find two prophets : one who talks a lot and one who does n't , however she gets jay and silent bob instead
( who give us great performances ) .
now on her way to new jersey with jay and silent bob to try and stop the two angels the 13th apostle falls out of the sky ( chris rock ) and helps guide her to find these angels .
salma hayek plays serendipity who also helps her out along her way .
azrael ( jason lee ) who is a demon is trying to help the two angels out so that they can win .
bethany ( linda fiorentino ) has to now use the help of all these people to try and stop the angels before they cheat their way back to heaven leading to a violent and bloody end that will make you think twice about your faith .
what a movie , it is everything rolled into one : an offensive , offbeat , smart and sassy comedy that surprisingly has a great message at the end , and ends up being a feel - good movie .
who would have known kevin had such a soft side on him that could make us know that he is a faithful person himself .
now for those of you who get offended with this movie really should not take it to heart .
yes it may target the catholic community and bash them a lot , but it also seems to rather than go against god and heaven , it actually goes with god and kevin gives a message that there is a god .
this review may sound confusing at first
but really the only way to understand it is to see this excellent movie .
kevin goes to new lengths in this hilarious comedy and gives us some great characters with not too much background or study and rather we start to know the characters as we watch the movie .
of course the best ( and funniest ) of them
all is the only duo in history that have made me fall out of my chair laughing and that my friends are jay and silent bob .
probably the best characters in movies that i like .
the star - studded cast is amazing and has some other cameos by george carlin , jeanne garafolo
and so may more that we start to lose track after a while .
the script was written by kevin smith with many f'words in there of course and a strong emphasis on sexual talk but he also seems to concentrate on what is important rather that what is n't and makes us laugh at the same time as we think
.
chris rock gives a hilarious performance and gets into his character very well , with some classic lines .
linda fiorentino is just perfect for her role and makes us believe that she really is who she is
.
of course jason mewes and kevin smith do a great job as jay and silent bob with some priceless lines from jay ( as well as silent bob ) .
alan rickman , jason lee , salma hayek round out the cast with matt damon and ben affleck in the starring roles . being oscar winners for the classic ' good will hunting '
they give great performances here again but matt damon seems just a little held back and to me did not give it all he could .
ben however was all out and
got very much into his character as well as the story .
the movie 's only big flaw is that it has a few unfunny lines and some slow parts to go along with it .
however the direction by kevin and the script by kevin as well as the priceless performance
by many of the cast members , ' dogma ' stands as a new classic
and i think i can safely compare it to ' clerks ' .
while being funny at times , in the end it becomes a serious movie with an important message that some may not agree with but ca n't deny it .
' dogma ' will offend people , especially deeply religious people , but for those of you who are open minded and want to see some very funny material then
this is the movie for you .
all kevin smith fans must see ! !

[EX Q]: first and foremost i think this movie comes to grief at the hands of the pg rating it 's been given .
for those of us who have n't read the james lee burke novel that heaven 's prisoners is based on , do not rabidly go out and buy tickets to movies featuring the combined talents of alec baldwin and eric roberts , feel vaguely depressed by the notion of swamps , gangsters with louisiana accents , plots , sub - plots , more plots , and well , really just want to see teri hatcher naked , this is one movie you 're going to worry the price of admission over .
hopeful still ?
well , let me share my moment of sheer panic , and then the cold enervation of the big let - down when a semi - robed hatcher purrs to alec baldwin , " what do you think of my butterfly ? " .
butterfly ?
, i asked myself , what butterfly ? !
and then it hit me . . .
the scene had been snipped !
damn you , godless pg rating , show us her butterfly ! !
we want to see the goddamn butterfly ! ! !
so . . .
no naked teri hatcher . forget about that .
okay ?
now . . .
heaven 's prisoners is about ex - alchoholic ex - cop dave robicheaux ( alec baldwin ) who 's trying to discover life anew running a bait shop and boat hire business with his loving , down - to - earth wife annie ( kelly lynch ) .
everything dull , but hunky dory until a plane carrying illegal immigrants crashes almost ontop of the couple while they 're on their boat .
the plane nosedives into the water and sinks , but from its wreckage robicheaux rescues a little pixie - faced salvadoran girl whom he and his wife immediately decide to adopt .
what they do n't realise is that the plane 's pilot was also a drug dealer , and that the plane had been sabotaged by the latter 's erstwhile colleagues .
when robicheaux discovers this , he predictably , against the advice of his wife , a well - meaning dea agent , and two gangsters who rough him up , begins ' poking his nose where it do n't belong ' , we know that the man deserves all the misery he 's going to get .
the question now is whether or not you want to be dragged along for the ride through a tedious , meandering yet utterly suspenseless plot with an unlovable hero as your guide .
as dave robicheaux , alec baldwin is fat . . .
no seriously , this is not the svelte , thinking man 's hero of the hunt for red october , it is an out - of - shape guy who does n't look too good in a roof - top chasing scene .
he 's also unconvincing in the movie 's dramatic moments , acting with what as far as i can tell is a steven segal - like economy of expression .
three - quarters of the way through the show , while you 're probably waiting for the next scene in a bar where robicheaux contemplates succumbing to the temptation of the whiskey bottle , getting drunk and beating up someone or getting beaten up
, you 'll want to beat on him a little yourself .
on the other hand , mary stuart masterson ( some kind of wonderful , fried green tomatoes , benny & joon ) cast as a down - and - out stripper who has her fingers broken is quite a breath of fresh air , with just the right mix of cynicism , warmth , insecurity and humour to be the movie 's only endearing character .
eric roberts as bubba rocque , always believable as the woman - abusing bad guy who knows how to box ( see final analysis , coincidentally also directed by phil joanou ) is believable here as the woman - abusing bad guy who knows how to box .
and lest we forget teri hatcher 's role in all this , this being her rather well - publicised paid vacation from playing lois lane on tv 's " adventures of lois & clark " . . .
she is totally ridiculous as rocque 's manipulative and seductive cajun wife , coming across as devious as a mildly disgruntled au pair who 's trying to get back at an employer who has n't been giving her enough days off .
it 's probably safe to say that her day job beckons .
and at the end of our day , none of this is really worth 2 hrs and 12 minutes of our personal misery .
the flying inkpot 's rating system :
* wait for the video .
*
* a little creaky , but still better than staying at home with gotcha !
*
* * pretty good , bring a friend .
*
*
* * amazing , potent stuff .
*
*
*
* * perfection . see it twice .

[EX Q]: elmore leonard has quickly become one of hollywood 's favorite authors .
out of four film adaptations in as many years ,
the witty and inventive out of sight gives get shorty a run for its money as the best leonard adaptation around .
george clooney stars as jack foley , a nice bank robber .
. .
you know the type , he uses his charm and his wits rather than a gun .
but even charming guys end up unlucky , and jack ends up in jail .
but not for long .
he plots an escape with the help of his best friend , and fellow robber , buddy bragg ( ving rhames ) , and their slow - witted pothead associate , glenn michaels ( steve zahn ) .
but jack did n't count on u . s .
marshal karen sisco ( jennifer lopez ) . appearing at the right place at the wrong time , karen gets involved in foley 's escape attempt and the subsequent manhunt to bring him in .
however , karen develops a rapport with jack foley , and finds that she begrudgingly likes the guy .
but , can love prosper on opposite sides of the law ? or can karen straighten out jack before he goes too far in pursuit of just one last crime .
clooney , who has had a string of solid , but never stellar , film roles , delivers his best performance to date .
he blends into his role here perfectly as the risk taking jack foley , who 's willing to gamble everything on the chance that karen sisco might be his true love .
jennifer lopez does an excellent job as well .
she actually has a trickier role than clooney , as a woman who has to balance her emotions with her sense of duty .
she and clooney develop good chemistry together .
the film boasts a superb ensemble .
steve zahn gives a hilarious performance , and steals nearly every scene he 's in .
don cheadle is appropriately sinister as a violent ex - con who may or may not be teaming up with foley .
albert brooks is enjoyable
as a white collar criminal who talks too much for his own good .
out of the cast , only dennis farina seems underused as karen 's ex - lawman father .
steven soderbergh gives the film sharp and stylistic direction .
with an affectation for freeze frames , he delivers a unique take on the film 's action and love scenes that places out of sight a notch above routine crime films .
a recurring series of flashbacks makes the film seem more complex than it actually is .
devoid of its bells and whistles , out of sight is actually a fairly straightforward crime story .
however , there are only a few spots in the film that seem bare , and they pass quickly .
with smart dialogue , good characters , and an excellent cast , out of sight easily smoothes over the rough spots in the plot and delivers on both the action and romantic fronts .
