Pass it on

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

51Watch it awake.

Valentino dances in, then the war takes the sons, so the title isn't a sermon.

The review

Metro's largest of 1921 belongs to Rudolph Valentino, and the rental still printed sits near 4 to 5 million. An Argentine family splits when the Great War starts. The tango is how the star arrives. Then the war takes the sons. A teen can watch it. I would not linger on the deaths.

The title is the apocalypse. The film means the war. I'd say that before anyone treats the name as a religious picture. The star is what people remember. The sons are what the story spends. A household comes apart on a national line. If you came for the dance, you still get the loss, and the film does not treat that loss as a party.

Journal

Keep The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 51. Yours can differ.

The glance

Industry and Piety and Temperance and Stewardship are the thin ones.

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

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

Consider this

1917

64 instead of 51

1917 is still a war film, and it scores 64 instead of 51. What you gain is industry: A runner's job: keep the paper dry, keep moving, do not become the story.

Pass it on

Barbie in the Nutcracker

51Watch it awake.

A small courage story inside a toy commercial. The courage is real enough for a child.

The review

Clara is told she is only a girl, and the plot contradicts the aunt without turning Clara into a brand ambassador for defiance. She is kind to a toy, steady in a strange country, and willing to be the one who moves when the mice have the room. The Nutcracker is a prince who needs help. That order is fine.

It is also a doll's film, and the last frame is a product. Do not pretend otherwise. The middle is still a usable picture of a girl who acts. Put it on for a young child. Do not build a theology out of it.
