The Other-1972, All About Eve-1950

I have been getting over a little bit of a stomache but lately. So I have been forced to watch more television, read, and attempt to play tombraiders. You know, TV even if you get all the channels still really sucks. I have been forced to visit some classics. The only reason I haven't watched these lately is that when I was young these movies fascinated me so much that I watched them all the time.

The first was my first book as well, which gave me the sensation that most America had if the watched "The Sixth Sense". Book definately better than the movie, but the movie is pretty good all the same. The movie and book that I am referring to is "The Other". I don't want to give it away too much, but excellent story line that is in the horror realm, but thinking horror realm.




The other movie that I saw this morning was "All About Eve". I didn't really remember much of it, but great movie about amition, betrayal, taking friends for granted, and in the end still not being happy after you have gotten all that you wanted. Very young Marilyn Monroe has a small part in it. I wasn't sure (after I watched it this time) if I ever really watched the movie all the way through.

Movies, these days, are just not made with the same quality or attention to detail.
