Pass it on

Sherlock Jr.

48Watch it awake.

Short and whole: a framed projectionist walks into the movie, and the cuts do the joke.

The review

Not a giant gross, which is odd once you see how complete the hour is. A projectionist, framed for a theft, falls asleep and steps into the picture on the screen. Buster Keaton. Fine for the kids. The dream is the detection. Tired as I was, that step into the screen still woke me.

The machine of the cuts is the joke. Short for a feature, and whole. He works the projector and gets accused, and the apparatus does the clever part. No second helping the same night. Sit with a child if you want the grin at the splice. It isn't a course in anything. A finished trick was enough.

Journal

Keep Sherlock Jr. in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 48. Yours can differ.

The glance

Household and Piety and Courage 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

Singin' in the Rain

60 instead of 48

Singin' in the Rain is still a comedy film, and it scores 60 instead of 48. What you gain is stewardship: It hands a child the pleasure of practice.

The eight

7
Industry
A projectionist works the machine, and the cuts of that machine are the joke.
3
Household
A worker and a false theft charge, with no parent or child in the picture.
3
Piety
The dream clears a framed man; it doesn't show a conscience refusing a want.
4
Courage
Framed, he still goes into the screen, a comic risk rather than a sacrifice.
5
Republic
A theft he did not commit is the wrong, and the dream is the detection.
6
Temperance
Short for a feature, and whole, so it ends instead of cueing another reel.
6
Truth
The theft charge is a frame, and the screen-dream is where that lie is chased.
4
Stewardship
It leaves a short complete joke about a projector, not a town to maintain.

Despicable Me 2

48Watch it awake.

The girls are the point. The spy plot is the sale. A family can sit with it and talk.

The review

Gru did not become good in the abstract. He became a father, and the second film is mostly about whether he will protect that fact or miss the glamour of being feared. The spy story is disposable. The kitchen is not.

A child can watch this. Say, after, that the funny yellow helpers are the advertisement, and the adoption is the story. If they only quote the minions, watch something quieter next.

The Lego Movie

59 instead of 48

The Lego Movie is still a animation film, and it scores 59 instead of 48. What you gain is republic: A city of locked pieces, which is a bad republic, and they unstick it.
