Rocky IV

33Leave it.

Apollo dies so the movie can wave a flag, and the work is a montage.

Take controlThis scores 33. Rocky IV cannot be blocked by name on this shelf. The lock is the phone. Block it

The review

A montage is not training, and a flag is not a reason. Apollo dies in an exhibition against a Soviet boxer. That death is the only real stake. Rocky fights the man in Moscow anyway, and the politics stay on a poster. The earlier fights had sweat. This one puts a song where the sweat should have been.

Getting in that ring takes nerve. Spending a friend to purchase a cheer is smaller than those earlier nights. If the house wants Rocky, choose one that still thinks the man is more than the anthem waiting at the end.

Journal

Keep Rocky IV in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 33. Yours can differ.

The glance

Household and Piety 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.

The Hustler

46 instead of 33

The Hustler is still a drama film, and it scores 46 instead of 33. What you gain is truth: A man who buys a piece of a winner is a user.

The eight

5
Industry
Boxing is the job, but the training is a montage where the work should have been.
3
Household
Apollo's death is a friend's, and the film spends it instead of staying with it.
2
Piety
Nothing stops him. A death is used so a flag can close the night in Moscow.
6
Courage
He gets in the ring with the boxer who killed Apollo, in that man's country.
3
Republic
The politics are a poster. A flag is not a neighbor, a law, or a town.
2
Temperance
The montage trains you to want the next punch and calls that a man's return.
3
Truth
Apollo's death is a real stake. The flag after it is a billboard laid on top.
2
Stewardship
A win and a flag are what remain. Apollo is still dead, and the film feels finished.

Bejeweled Fishes

33Leave it.

Attention is good. Sparkle without a fact is a screensaver.

Take controlThis scores 33. If you do not want Bejeweled Fishes in the house, the steps are on Prime Video. Block it

The review

A reel of jeweled creatures can teach color and patience to a child, which is not nothing. It fails the moment it becomes a jewelry case, creatures edited into gems, no habitat, no cost. The sea is not a boutique.

Put a short stretch on if the room will be quiet. If the film never names a place or a threat, you have had a decoration. Decorations are allowed. They are not measures.

Living Off the Grid

45 instead of 33
