Kasi Lemmons recommended All About Eve (1950) in Movies (curated)

All About Eve (1950)
1950 | Classics, Comedy, Drama

"I get so much pleasure from the interplay between Bette Davis and Anne Baxter in this film. My favorite thing is that long party sequence. I’m struck by the challenge of shooting something like that, of tracking all the people on-screen and letting the drama unfold slowly over an extended period of time. There’s something thrilling about the progression of Davis’s character into drunken sloppiness, as she watches her lover become more and more fascinated with this younger woman. Her emotional unraveling, and the way the camera follows Davis’s performance, shows what can happen when a great director gets to work with a great actor."

The Greatest Showman (2017)
The Greatest Showman (2017)
2017 | Drama, Musical
Inspired by the imagination of P. T. Barnum, The Greatest Showman is an original musical that celebrates the birth of show business & tells of a visionary who rose from nothing to create a spectacle that became a worldwide sensation.



I challenge anyone to go to this film and not end up tapping their feet along to the music. Singing and dancing at it's best. It's probably some of the best singing I've heard on screen, dare I say it... all year. And it was a perfect way to finish 2017. It's exciting, interesting, heartwarming... and if that isn't enough then there's Hugh Jackman spinning the ladies when they dance... *sigh*.

Not enough plot, overuse of crude language (0 more)
I was nearing the end of a reading challenge and one of the few categories that I had left was to read a book that had been banned at some point. I picked this one up thinking it was short so would be an easy win but it was a bad choice.

This book seemed to be obsessed with sex and sating the C word. I could have coped with that to a degree if there had been a plot that it wrapped around but that seemed to be missing. Oh well, you can't get a great book every time.

Excellent and Intense game
I started playing this as a game on game pass that i have never heard of. I thought that i would give it ten minutes, three hours later and i was still playing it. Its not easy to put down and there are lots of missions and side quests as well as a large and extensive single player campaign. Its an MMORPG that is easy to play and yet strangely addictive. The graphics are really good and the intuitive gameplay makes for a very absorbing challenge. :)
