"This is the second feature length film I've seen by director Joseph L. Mankiewicz. I chose to watch this film based on previous good ratings I've given other films by this director and to better my favorite directors by algorithm listing. All About Eve I don't have too much to say about such a famous movie mostly because I feel like it must have all been said before, and I would tend to agree with the general sentiments surrounding it. If you rent the DVD for this movie, you will get more special features than you can almost handle. I watched them all because I'm compulsive. I enjoyed them, but now I've heard so much about this movie, that I can't stand to take too much time to write much more about it. I usually tend to shy away from movies about backstage theatre drama, especially involving selfish divas. People tend to write about what they know, so there are a highly

"Sometimes I really wish David Bordwell’s blog permitted comments. Mostly it’s better that it doesn’t, but the man’s last post has made me want to discuss the art of movie titles for a whole week now. And it didn’t help that coinciding in time with Bordwell’s post was another one of those sidebars in Entertainment Weekly pointing out some new movies with misleading titles. Yes, Lakeview Terrace does sound like a period romance, as do many other badly titled films (Elizabethtown and Wicker Park come to mind). This weekend also sees two new movies employing the method of borrowing song titles, which are typically not appropriate (Ghost Town seems more like a horror western hybrid, while My Best Friend’s Girl

"What's the AFI Project, you ask? For more information, or if you just enjoy my bemused ramblings, read here: http://www.spout.com/blogs/pip pin06/archive/2008/3/1/25756.a spx All About Eve is on the following AFI lists:The Original Top 100 (#16)100 Years...100 Heroes and Villains (Eve Harrington is the #23 villain)100 Movie Quotes (#9 - Margo Channing: "Fasten your seatbelts. It's going to be a bumpy night.")The Revised Top 100 (#28) Thanks to Netflix, I moved right along down the AFI Original list to the next entry, All About Eve, which I had never seen before. I knew about it only vaguely and mostly knew only random factoids, such as the short but memorable turn by Marilyn Monroe as an aspiring, ditzy actress of questionable talent. By the way, she was far less annoying and much funnier in this picture than she was in Some Like It Hot, but I digress. I also knew the famous quote uttered by Bette Davis' Margo Channing, diva extraordinaire, about fastening some seatbelts. I lo ... "

"Take that, theater denizens! One of the most biting satires I've ever seen, I was hesitant to see it because of it's age, but apart from some dated dialogue, it holds up wonderfully to this day, thanks to a sharp script, deft acting and more-than-able direction and cinematography. I'd say it's mostly for people who have been around the theater crowd, but really, anyone who's worked in an office can relate to the characters portrayed here. Watch it! "

"Camp is a less polished cousin to Alan Parker’s Fame, and a film that pushes all my queer consciousness buttons. Once I knew the premise, I wanted to love the movie, and it spoke to me in a way that other movies, from their heterosexual world-view, could not. What teenager wouldn’t want to attend a retreat (like Camp Ovation) where all summer long you get to sing, dance and act in stage plays and musicals? As far as I’m concerned it would have been Mecca. And how delicious is it, that for once, the yummy, manly, straight guy is at the disadvantage? Feels like the freak? So, yes, when a movie like Camp comes along and I see an instance when Michael eyes Vlad (Daniel Letterle ) unapologetically, explaining, “I’m only human,” I can only say I’m deeply, sincerely grateful. But it helps no one if we pretend something is better than it is because we applaud the message. When we expect heterosexuals to make allowances, as if we were five-year-olds ... "
