Tron

66Worth an evening.

Pretty lights, but it is a worker whose games were stolen and a system that wants all of it.

The review

The look was new, and if you only came for the look you will think it is a toy. A programmer is pulled into the system of the company that stole his games. Inside, programs are persons. A master program wants everything centralized. He has to get a message out. That is a worker against a system that ate his work, dressed in light.

Say the theft before you praise the pictures. His job was the games. They took the job. The same hunger, inside, will not leave another program a corner of its own. Courage here is not a battle cry. It is getting word out before one will is the only will left. Watch for that, or the glow is just a commercial for a computer you cannot buy anymore.

Journal

Keep Tron in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 66. Yours can differ.

The glance

Household is the thin one.

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

Arrival

74 instead of 66

Arrival is still a science-fiction film, and it scores 74 instead of 66. What you gain is household: A mother who chooses the daughter knowing the death.

ParaNorman

66Worth an evening.

Fear faced by understanding, not by a spear. Good for a child who can take a ghost.

The review

Norman is bullied for a gift that is mostly the willingness to hear. The town prefers a mob and a story about a witch. The film's turn, that the cursed child was a frightened child and the curse was the town's, is the right turn. It does not ask you to pretend the dead are cute from the first minute. It asks you to stop the torch.

Some of the jokes are ruder than the fable needs. The fable holds. A house can watch it near Halloween and come out less eager to chant at the odd boy. That is a rare result for a cartoon with zombies.
