Crocodile Dundee

40Leave it.

The city takes him for a costume, and the joke is that he is competent.

Take controlThis scores 40. Crocodile Dundee cannot be blocked by name on this shelf. The lock is the phone. Block it

The review

Manhattan thinks he is a bit. A New York reporter went to the Australian bush and brought a hunter back, and for a while the joke is fair: a competent man in a city that cannot read skill when it arrives in a hat. Then people repeated the knife line until he was a costume after all.

There is no child here, no law, no town that needs him. It is a light comedy with one true observation about snobbery. Watch it once with older kids. If the only thing they can do afterward is the line, they missed the man.

Journal

Keep Crocodile Dundee in the record.

Live Historic number 40. Yours can differ.

The glance

Household and Piety and Courage and Republic 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.

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle

53 instead of 40

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is still a comedy film, and it scores 53 instead of 40. What you gain is courage: Cowards and a bully have to spend themselves for the others.

The eight

6
Industry
She is a reporter on a story. He is a hunter the city mistakes for an act.
3
Household
They pair off. It is a courtship, not a home with people depending on it.
3
Piety
No one's conscience stops the fun. It is a comedy of bush and sidewalk.
4
Courage
He walks into Manhattan as if the bush prepared him, half brave and half a gag.
3
Republic
Nobody owes a neighbor or a law. The city is a stage that misreads him.
4
Temperance
One good joke got repeated until the man became a costume for years.
6
Truth
The city thinks he is a costume. The film's honest claim is that the skill is real.
3
Stewardship
What remains is a repeated knife line, not a man the city learned to see.

Armageddon

40Leave it.

A father and a crew. The world-ending is a fireworks show. The sacrifice is asserted, not earned.

Take controlThis scores 40. Armageddon cannot be blocked by name on this shelf. The lock is the phone. Block it

The review

Rough men who can do a physical thing are sent to do it in space because the polished men cannot. That is a populist feeling the film is not wrong to have. A father who has been absent tries to bless a marriage before he dies. Those are human scraps.

The scraps are tied to a firework. You will be told when to cry. You do not have to. If the house wants a film about a crew and a real cost, Private Ryan is the adult one and Apollo stories exist. This is a cheer. Leave it.

The glance

Piety and Republic and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Can conscience actually stop someone, or is reverence only in the shot so it can be mocked?

Doctor Strange

50 instead of 40

Doctor Strange is still a action film, and it scores 50 instead of 40. What you gain is temperance: His ego is the subject.
