Pass it on

Cleopatra

29Leave it.

The procession is the product. The affair is the plot, and the plot is not a life.

Take controlThis scores 29. Cleopatra cannot be blocked by name on this shelf. The lock is the phone. Block it

The review

It cost enough to nearly sink a studio, and the cost is not a quality. A queen manages Rome by managing two men, and the film is interested in the managing as a pageant and a love affair. The processions are long because the processions are what the money bought. I will not pretend the length is grandeur. Length is what you get when nobody was willing to cut the entrance.

The marriages in the way of the affair are treated as furniture. That is the part a house should not absorb. Adults can look at the barge as a document of a certain kind of Hollywood excess and then leave it. Do not sit a young person down in front of four hours in which the lesson is that history is a romance with better curtains. The crowds came. The number is not the crowds.

Journal

Keep Cleopatra in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 29. Yours can differ.

The glance

Industry and Household and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

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

Consider this

Argo

53 instead of 29

Argo is still a history film, and it scores 53 instead of 29. What you gain is temperance: The tension is earned by waiting, not by a body count.

The eight

4
Industry
A court is busy. The film is busier with entrances than with the work of ruling.
2
Household
Marriage is an obstacle the romance has to get around, twice.
2
Piety
Gods are decor. Nobody is answerable to anything above the next alliance.
4
Courage
She risks a throne on a man. The risk is real and the reason is thin.
3
Republic
Nations are the stakes on paper and the backdrop in practice.
2
Temperance
The appetite is the sale: purple, skin, and a love the posters could print.
4
Truth
Politics happened. The film would rather you remember the barge.
2
Stewardship
A house inherits a very expensive permission to confuse spectacle with a life.

Fall 2

29Leave it.

Peril is not a sequel engine. The first climb was enough.

Take controlThis scores 29. If you do not want Fall 2 in the house, the steps are on Prime Video. Block it

The review

Fall was a friendship on a tower, a dumb climb, and the discovery that help is far. That is a complete moral: do not go up to be seen, and if you are up, tell the truth into the radio. A second film with a bigger drop is the industry repeating a panic because the panic worked.

The desk has not invented the new ledge. It does not need the new ledge. If you want the lesson, remember the first one and stay on the ground.
