What Maisie Knew
Henry James | 2008 | Fiction & Poetry

Book Favorite

"A brilliant social comedy seen wholly from a child's point of view, this is a dazzling technical feat that as always with Henry James deepens as it develops, like the life of the child herself. An exhilarating prelude to the great novels of his famous late phase."

What a unique concept for a film! I thought that there was a really great idea that sparked this film! The film itself felt a little lazy, and there were quite a few technical errors, but overall the piece was really fun to watch and definitely enjoyable!

Superb entertainment for all the family.
Irresistible characters.
Great fun, lots of humour and a must watch, even now, over 22 years after first release.
Tom Hanks as Woody.
The film sports a provocative and appealing story that's every bit the equal of this technical achievement.

White People Unnecessarily Gaslighting Each Other With A Plot That Is Predictable From The First Ten Minutes With A Score That Is Bland And Repeats The Same Two Notes Over And Over Again And Nothing Even Remotely Impressive Happens On A Technical Level Or A Plot Level: The Movie

what could be said about the remarkable achievement Blizzard has made with the World of Warcraft? With fantastic art direction, technical stability, a compelling storytelling, addictive and enjoyable gameplay – we have the recipe for success.

Better than Airtable!
Notion is easily one of the best apps I've come across. It replaces so many other apps and keeps everything in one place. From notes and to-do lists to technical documentation to tables or spreadsheets, the potential uses are truly unlimited. It's pretty incredible!

Murakami's Prose
There's a section of the book that talks a lot about trains and railroads, and it gets very technical to the point of losing the reader along the way if they're not familiar with the trade. (0 more)

I want to call it wholesome, but that isn’t quite accurate. There is just something very good about her writing. And I don’t necessarily mean that in a technical or even aesthetic sense.

Rakuen
Rakuen
2017 | Action/Adventure
There's no denying that Rakuen has some incredibly strong components. At the same time, it's hard to shake its more basic shortcomings, be it the technical limits of its engine or the plodding exploration.

Night of the Living Dead (1968)
Night of the Living Dead (1968)
1968 | Horror

"The granddaddy of them all. A landmark achievement in technical innovation, social awareness, and sheer terror. The handheld look so many filmmakers use today was very new in the ’60s, when visual styles were very “locked down.” It was my first experience watching someone get disemboweled, and you don’t easily forget that."
