The Great K & A Train Robbery

Fine for a child, and the West is a star's playground, not a town.

The review

The kids asked for a western, and this is the one a child can watch. Tom Mix is a railroad detective after train robbers, and he does his own stunts. Mine wanted the horse and the train. That want is correct. The trick is the product. A popular star western, not a year's leader, and it runs like that. I didn't have to explain a plot. I did have to explain a place.

The West here is a playground for a star, not a settlement. The job starts the reel, then the horse and the train take over. I let them enjoy the riding. I would not let them leave thinking a town had been shown. When it ended I said the country in the frame was a stage. I cared more about that sentence than about the robbery.

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?

Django Unchained

43 instead of 33

Django Unchained is still a western film, and it scores 43 instead of 33. What you gain is household: He goes back for his wife.

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.
