Gone Girl

29Leave it.

A marriage as a weapon kept sharp. The cleverness is the cruelty. Leave it.

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

The review

The missing woman is a craft project. That is the chill, and it is a true chill about how quickly a public picks a villain from a photograph. A marriage in this picture is two people keeping score until one of them writes the ending in blood and diary entries.

Do not watch it to feel sophisticated. The sophistication is the cruelty wearing a clean shirt. If the culture already told you this was the clever film of the year, the telling was part of the problem. Leave it off the week.

Keep Gone Girl in the record.

Live Historic number 29. 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.

Consider this

Clean Hands

40 instead of 29

Clean Hands is still a thriller film, and it scores 40 instead of 29. What you gain is piety: The phrase is borrowed from a stricter tradition.

The eight

5
Industry
She plans. The plan is meticulous, and that is not a compliment.
1
Household
The marriage is a stage for punishment. A child, when one is imagined, is leverage.
1
Piety
No good above the performance.
3
Courage
She is fearless in the way a fire is fearless.
3
Republic
The public is a news desk that wants a villain by evening.
2
Temperance
The film enjoys the trap.
6
Truth
It is honest that a story on the news can be a weapon. It likes the weapon.
2
Stewardship
Nothing here should be handed on, especially not as a witty marriage.

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.

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

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.
