{ "character": "Alice", "review": "I really don't know what else to say except that The Loved One is cover-to-cover the sharpest satire I have ever read, filled with tongue-in-cheek plot lines and caricatures rather than characters. That anyone could take the death industry and make it seem so self-important and as normal as something like the automobile industry is sheer brilliance. At less than 200 pages, it's a one day read and a very funny one at that. The only conclusion that can be drawn from it is that Waugh probably didn't enjoy his tenure in Hollywood very much, which may be the biggest understatement I could make.", "title": "A Pungent Piece of Satire" }

{ "character": "Alice", "review": "This plodding film attempts to \"shock and awe\" the viewer with its depiction of the U.S. Marines as unstable, anti-social, bloodthirsty thugs, and tries to impugn the United States' actions in Operation Desert Storm as motivated by oil company profit.I realize the viewer is supposed to be shocked by the scene in which the soldiers are hooting and hollering with excitement while watching a violent scene from Apocalypse Now, but all I was thinking was how much I'd rather be watching that movie too, instead of this dismal wreck.For a much better look at the dark, disturbing side of the American military, watch Apocalpyse Now, Full Metal Jacket, or even Three Kings. Don't waste your time here.", "title": "The jar is empty..." }
