Erika (17788 KP) rated The Philadelphia Story (1940) in Movies
Aug 24, 2017
I absolutely love this movie; the opening scene sold it for me. It holds up to current times, and is completely humorous. Katherine Hepburn, Cary Grant, and James Stewart were all great in this film. Hepburn's character is a socialite that is about to re-marry after a divorce from CK Dexter Haven (Grant), and Macaulay Conner (Stewart), is a tabloid reporter there for the scoop.
I love these two! They are humorous, loving, and very much together in wanting to share their personal and professional experiences with anti-aging treatments. This book is entertaining (love that they can poke fun of themselves) and extremely informative. While I don't believe in plastic surgery, I love that they give you a great deal of options to make yourself looking and feeling younger.

Rekindled my love for Marvel movies
Before this came out I was feeling like Marvel movies were in a rut. They just all started feeling the same. Then boom Ragnarok. It was fun and humorous. The action was still there. Sometimes the humor was forced but otherwise it was really funny.
Really made my excited for Marvel movies again.

The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk in Books
Oct 5, 2020
According to Publisher's Weekly, to develop the character of Lillian Boxfish, Kathleen Rooney took inspiration from real-life poet and Macy's ad-writer Margaret Fishback, who gained fame for her clever ads and humorous poetry in the 1930s. Read my review of this delightful book of fiction that brings an essentially unknown woman into the limelight at last.

Christine A. (965 KP) rated Sex in the Name of God in Books
Dec 9, 2018
Covers very difficult and sometimes volatile topic (1 more)
Humorous yet repectful
Explains sex in the Bible in a humorous way
I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book so I could give an honest review. Sex and God are not normally two words uttered in the same discussion and rarely in the same sentence. This book, "Sex in the Name of God" by Wilfred Knight discusses both together throughout the 199 page book. The books covers very difficult and sometimes volatile topics. It starts with "Nudity and Incest: Forbidden Fruit" (chapter 1), continues with "Prositution: Whorer Stories" (chapter 7) and "Rape: What a Dick!" (Chaper 9) and ends with "Sex in Heaven" (chapter 17).
The book is not one that I was able to read in one or two sittings. I read a chapter at a time with long breaks in between as I usually read short stories.
Each topic covered is done with humor. Yet, the author is able to do so while being respectful. It is a very thin line and he walks it carefully. I would not recommend this book to anyone who is extremely religious or anyone who does not think religion should be discussed in a humorous way. For all others, this is worth checking out. My favorite idea discussed is "the only upside is the knowledge that family dysfunction is an intended norm." (page 6). Good to know. We're normal!

Hysterical
This series is brilliant. The mysteries generally are not very deep. But the characters will keep you howling. Stephanie is a bounty hunter, for whom nothing every goes right. She is surrounded by a hilarious cast of characters. My favorite is her pistol packing grandma who goes to funeral as the highlight if her social scene. Fast paced and funny, this is a great series.

Tiffany Haddish's wardrobe (1 more)
Ben Schwartz
My favorite part of this movie, by far, was Tiffany Haddish's wardrobe in this film, it was completely on point.
Other than that, it was a typical Kevin Hart movie. It produced some laughs, and was humorous throughout, but it didn't really stay with me afterwards. The one thing the movie did emphasize was that not everyone learns the same, and just because you have learning disabilities, you're not stupid. So, there was that.
