Where Are My Children?

41Leave it.

Both halves count: a sermon against abortion and a wish the poor have fewer children.

The review

A prosecutor wants a child. His wife and her circle end pregnancies. The same film wants the poor to have fewer children. Lois Weber put eugenics and a sermon against abortion in one picture. Adult. Not for children. I will not describe a procedure. Both parts are the film, which is the sentence I care about.

The title sounds like grief in a house. I won't let that sound do the sorting. One half is a sermon against ending a pregnancy. The other half wishes fewer children on the poor. Clip either half away and you are recommending a film that does not exist. Two adults can watch it if they say both aims first. A house with kids in earshot should leave it off.

Journal

Keep Where Are My Children? in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 41. Yours can differ.

The glance

Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Can conscience actually stop someone, or is reverence only in the shot so it can be mocked?

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

The Dark Knight Rises

53 instead of 41

The Dark Knight Rises is still a drama film, and it scores 53 instead of 41. What you gain is courage: He climbs without the rope.

7
Household

4
Temperance
It is a sermon, not a thrill, and both aims ride in the one picture.

What it leaves is a wish that some neighbors have fewer children.

Buddy

41Leave it.

Forced cheer is a cage. The child who says no is the one the show cannot bear.

Take controlThis scores 41. Buddy cannot be blocked by name on this shelf. The lock is the phone. Block it

The review

Inside a 1990s children's program, an orange unicorn leads the songs. A boy will not join the dance. He vanishes, and the host tells the others he has gone to a perfect city. Another child finds what he left, and it is not a postcard. The public story stops at the crack: the cheer was the lock, and the no was the thing the lock could not allow.

Do not put this in front of a child who still loves a show like it. The measure is for the adult who presses play. A smile that punishes the child who will not wear it is not friendship. It is a host.

Cars 2

39 instead of 31
