Gold Diggers of Broadway

25Leave it.

A color crowd chasing a rich mark, and then most of the print disappeared.

The review

Chorus girls and a rich mark, with Tip-Toe Through the Tulips in two-strip color. It is cited with The Broadway Melody at the top of the year, and then much of the film was lost. I will not pretend I saw a complete picture. Watch what survives, and say plainly that a lot of it does not.

The plot is an excuse for the numbers. Nothing here fights that. No marriage gets built, and no want gets put down. It was a crowd, and then the object went missing. If you play a fragment for the color, call it a fragment. The gross cannot stand in for reels that are gone.

Journal

Keep Gold Diggers of Broadway in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 25. Yours can differ.

The glance

Household and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Truth 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.

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

36 instead of 25

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is still a musical film, and it scores 36 instead of 25. What you gain is truth: It tells the truth that the avenger cannot see: the woman he mourns is in the room.

The eight

5
Industry
Chorus girls work the numbers, and the plot is only an excuse.
2
Household
Chorus girls and a rich mark, and no marriage or child is the life.
2
Piety
Nobody is stopped; the rich mark is what the night is aimed at.
2
Courage
The stake is a mark's money, not a life anyone would miss.
2
Republic
A crowd bought it, and no neighbor or law is owed anything.
2
Temperance
Numbers and a rich mark train the next want, then the print vanishes.
3
Truth
The plot is an excuse, and much of the film itself does not survive.
2
Stewardship
It was a crowd, and then the print disappeared, so little remains.

Backrooms

25Leave it.

It sells that yellow-office dread as a product and you leave with nothing solid.

Take controlThis scores 25. Backrooms cannot be blocked by name on this shelf. The lock is the phone. Block it

The review

Backrooms takes the internet's ready-made picture of endless yellow offices and makes it the movie. Fluorescent, windowless, work space with purpose and exits stripped out. What it gets right is the monotony; the dread holds steady before anything else is asked.

Corridors that never end make the thrill of getting lost the whole product. A tired family finishes with no solid room left to keep.

Everyone Is Lying to You for Money

38 instead of 25

Everyone Is Lying to You for Money is still a drama film, and it scores 38 instead of 25. What you gain is stewardship: The sentence is worth keeping even if the film is not.
