Minimal cheap gore
The only good one. After this, the torture porn genre began with the cheap gore and poor writing. I watched Saw when it was first released not knowing any of the twists and was pleasantly surprised upon its conclusion.

It has been way too long for a Female Super Hero Blockbuster and a lot was riding on this movie. Thankfully, good writing, great acting, and an overall amazing production gave the viewers exactly what we wanted.

Captures Bezos' motivation and drive (and genius?)
The writing does well in relating aspects of his background to the 'man he becomes'
It's almost too in-depth! (0 more)
Meticulously researched and generally very interesting

Reference laden escapism
Cline isn't the first to use this idea (life is rotten so let's all hang out in the virtual world instead!) but no one else has done it with such gleeful cramming of nostalgic pop culture references. Some very clever ideas, and decent writing.

Life Is One Hell Of A Ride
This is one of the best character piece movies I have seen in a long time. Every performance is top notch and the writing and direction is great too.

The Book Thief is one of my favorite young adult novels. The creativity of writing from the perspective of Death made this story memorable to me. I felt close to the characters and empathized with them.

This book was weird. The writing was confusing and the organization was chaotic. I only got through the first story,and I had to force myself to get through that. the concept was good, but the execution was poor. Sorry but I just can't recommend this one.
