The review

Not for children. Mae West is a circus dancer who tells fortunes, and she takes a man to court when he tries to leave her. She wrote the best of her own lines. The gross was among the largest of the year, close to King Kong. I'm not describing the sex. The desire is the joke and the product. She is not punished into meekness, and the film is proud of that. I felt the pride. Pride isn't a reason to put it on for a family.

Adults only, and only if you already know the show you're buying. The court is how she holds a man who is walking out, not how a promise gets kept. Nobody here puts the want down. Leave it off a family night. The laugh is the want, and the picture is glad to sell you the next one.

Keep I'm No Angel in the record.

Live Historic number 28. 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.

Scooby-Doo

41 instead of 28

Scooby-Doo is still a comedy film, and it scores 41 instead of 28. What you gain is truth: The monster is a man who wanted something.

The eight

5
Industry
Circus work, fortunes, then a court: the job on screen is keeping the man.
2
Household
He tries to leave and she sues; that is not a marriage, parent, or child.
2
Piety
Conscience never makes her meek, and the film is proud of that refusal.
4
Courage
She hauls a leaving man into court rather than let the want go quiet.
3
Republic
The court is a lever to keep him, not a duty owed to anyone else there.
1
Temperance
Desire is the joke and the product, and she is not punished into meekness.
3
Truth
He tries to leave; the fortune act and the lawsuit are how the want answers.
2
Stewardship
A proud hit about desire, and nothing a family can keep when the laugh ends.

American Beauty

28Leave it.

The household is rotting, and the picture is too pleased to watch. Adults. Not a liberation.

The review

The film is right that a house can become a catalog and a silence. It is wrong about the cure. A man chasing a feeling, and a plastic bag offered as transcendence, is not a repair. A daughter lives in the house while the film calls his restlessness honesty.

Adults. If you saw it in its year and called it brave, look again at who the bravery costs. The table was the place to begin. He begins with himself and calls it beauty.
