Reviews: The positives and negatives

1. Postive review: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/cdreviews/10920578/Ed-Sheeran-X-review-genuinely-great.html

2. The topic of this review is Ed Sheeran's most recent album "X".

3. The reviewer's attitude towards Ed Sheeran's new album is positive. The reviewer sums up their opinion by saying that the songs are "genuinely great".

4. A) A fact that is included is listing other artists that Ed Sheeran has worked with on songs, such as, Pharell Williams. Another fact is that Sheeran provides a variety of styles on this album, whereas, on his previous album "+", the songs were relatively similar. 
    B) An opinion that is included is that the reviewer believes that the album provides the listeners an easy listen. Another opinion provided was that the reviewer think that the main part of Sheeran's appeal to consumers is his "apparently effortless absorption of contemporary music styles."

5. I do agree with the reviewer's postition because I also think that the album was really good and there was also a very wide range of styles on this album. 



1. Negative review: http://www.flickfilosopher.com/2014/05/bad-neighbours-aka-neighbors-movie-review-stubbing-brain.html

2. The topic of this review is the movie "Neighbors".

3. The reviewer's attitude towards this movie was negative. The reviewer sums up their opinion by using words and phrases like "crap", "incongruous", and "thrown against the wall."

4. A) A fact that was provided was that the movie was intentionally meant to be a mess and discombobulating. Another fact is that it provides details from the movie and it's intentions like making fun of the main couple by portraying them as parents who don't have fun as opposed to their new neighbors which is a fraternity. 
    B) An opinion was that the reviewer believes that the movie was an attempt at a comedy but it was a horrible attempt and that it was basically a bunch of nonsense in hopes to make the audience laugh. The reviewer also states that they think that the movie was very disconnected and didn't make much sense from scene to scene.

5. I do agree with the reviewer because when I watched the movie I also felt confused and didn't find the overall movie funny besides the exceptional few parts or a few things that were said.
