Quo Vadis

60Watch it awake.

The title asks if he will follow Peter, and the fire is not the answer.

The review

The title is doing the real work, if you let it. A Roman commander in Nero's Rome loves a Christian hostage. Peter is in the city. The question is whether the commander will go where Peter is going. The arena and the burning are the spectacle, and I am not going to linger on either. It was widely named the largest American gross of its year. The crowd paid for size. The story is a choice.

Loving a hostage is not the same promise as the road Peter is on. I kept waiting for the picture to trust the choice, and it keeps feeding the fire instead. Older kids can watch it if you say that out loud. It is not a small child's night. The burning is not a toy, and the costumes will not answer the title for you.

The glance

Temperance is the thin one.

Is appetite shown and then put down, or are you being trained to want the next one?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

The Sound of Music

74 instead of 60

The Sound of Music is still a history film, and it scores 74 instead of 60. What you gain is household: Children restored to a father.

An Arthur Thanksgiving

60Watch it awake.

A small holiday special with a real table. Fine for children.

The review

Arthur's neighborhood has always been better at ordinary friction than at myths. Thanksgiving here is cooking, guests, a snag, and a meal that still happens. That is more useful than a pageant. Gratitude that has not met a late aunt and a crowded kitchen is only a slogan.

It will not change a life. It may remind a room that the feast is the people who came, including the difficult ones. Put it on while you peel the potatoes.
