Beverly Hills Cop

He is good at the job, and the movie wants a laugh where the grief goes.

Take controlThis scores 44. Beverly Hills Cop cannot be blocked by name on this shelf. The lock is the phone. Block it

The review

Class is the whole joke, and it is a good one for about an hour. A Detroit detective goes to Beverly Hills after a friend is murdered. He is good at the job. He will not learn the local manners, and the rich city is funnier for wanting him to.

Then look at what the laugh is standing on. The violence is played light. A friend is dead and the movie would rather you not sit with that. I would watch it with adults who already know it is a comedy. I would not hand it to a kid as a picture of loyalty.

The glance

Household and Piety and Temperance and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Monsters vs. Aliens

55 instead of 44

Monsters vs. Aliens is still a action film, and it scores 55 instead of 44. What you gain is household: A bad match is declined.

The eight

8
Industry
A Detroit detective stays good at the work while a rich city wants him tame.
2
Household
A murdered friend starts it. No spouse, parent, or child is the life on screen.
3
Piety
Grief for a friend pushes him. Nothing in him stops for a rule he dislikes.
6
Courage
He keeps a murder case after the local department has already told him to go.
5
Republic
Two police departments share one law. He keeps the case and drops the manners.
3
Temperance
A friend is dead, and the violence is played so light the laugh arrives first.
5
Truth
He will not fake the style of the rich city, and the case still gets done.
3
Stewardship
A murder is answered. Beverly Hills is the same city when he drives away.

Alice in Wonderland

44Leave it.

Nonsense is funny until it is a government. She comes back. Good.

Take controlThis scores 44. If you do not want Alice in Wonderland in the house, the steps are on Prime Video. Block it

The review

Wonderland is a place where authority is a temper: a queen who executes, a tea party that never ends, a caterpillar who sneers. Alice is polite and then she is done. The film's best moment is her refusal to take the queen's court as a real court. Curiosity brought her in. Judgment takes her out.

A child can enjoy the jokes. Say that the jokes are not a model of how a house or a school should run. A world that changes the rules to watch you stumble is not a wonder. It is a bully with a teapot.
