Stephen Cone recommended Shoah (1985) in Movies (curated)

 
Shoah (1985)
Shoah (1985)
1985 | Documentary

"Quite possibly the key visual-historical document of the twentieth century, and a monumentally great movie to boot. Inexhaustible, simultaneously ephemeral and eternal, investigative and meditative, but always with two sturdy feet on this horrific and beautiful earth."

"I’ve always loved the mood of this film. This disc is worth buying just for the extras. The James Taylor screen test and interview and the acoustic version of “Riding on a Railroad” are so honest and beautiful."

Maquia is a Japanese animation about a girl that doesn't age quickly, and a boy that she raises. It's about family, connection, love and what it means to be a mother. It's a beautiful movie that's also heartbreaking.

There was a lot of filler in this book. The story could have been told without the repetitive descriptions of how hot Gideon Cross is or how beautiful Eva is and how they are each so lucky to have the other. With this being the fourth book in the series, I think we've heard this all enough before. We get it, they are two beautiful, messed up people, envied by all around them, desired by all, and they fill the crazy, messed up holes in each others' lives.

I love the Nest Learning Thermostat! It's gorgeous on my wall. I love the feature that it glows when you walk into a room, but I'm still trying to figure out how if it's really compatible with my old house and system. It DOES work and the stuff in my house is SO old, but I think a wiring and connection upgrade might be in store soon. Beautiful design and many features to love!

Okay, I'm going to be honest. This book is not a complete novel. If you're going to read this book, you need to know the story and plot of the first book ("Beautiful Disaster"). I did enjoy this novel but I had to reread the first novel while reading this book.

The characters are lovable and I found myself laughing and smiling while reading this book. I recommend this to anyone who enjoyed "Beautiful Disaster." I do recommend that you reread the first book before you take on this novel.
