Giant

66Worth an evening.

It's long, the marriage holds, and the cafe's contempt is not scenery.

The review

Oil is what people remember, and the ranch is what the oil spends. An Eastern bride comes to Texas, stays through a generation, and watches the land change jobs. A son will not be the father. It was the last film of an actor who died before it opened, so that part of the picture was already finished when audiences sat down.

The town's cafe will not serve a neighbor with respect. That refusal is the part to talk about, not a backdrop for the size of the place. Older kids can stay with it. The marriage runs long enough to include a son who will not copy the father. Nobody gets the old land back just because the picture is handsome.

The glance

Stewardship is the thin one.

What is left for the people who come after — a place, a craft, a name?

The Sound of Music

78 instead of 66

The Sound of Music is still a drama film, and it scores 78 instead of 66. What you gain is stewardship: The children are gotten over the mountains.

ParaNorman

66Worth an evening.

Fear faced by understanding, not by a spear. Good for a child who can take a ghost.

The review

Norman is bullied for a gift that is mostly the willingness to hear. The town prefers a mob and a story about a witch. The film's turn, that the cursed child was a frightened child and the curse was the town's, is the right turn. It does not ask you to pretend the dead are cute from the first minute. It asks you to stop the torch.

Some of the jokes are ruder than the fable needs. The fable holds. A house can watch it near Halloween and come out less eager to chant at the odd boy. That is a rare result for a cartoon with zombies.
