The review

William Haggar had the chase in Britain the same season the American robbery picture was new, so I won't file this as Porter's leftover. Poachers and gamekeepers. A teen can watch it. I will not treat the guns as a stunt to copy in a yard or a field.

The fight over game is the picture. Somebody takes what the land was holding, and somebody is paid to stop that. I don't have a line of dialogue to repeat. If it plays here, the talk after is who the game belongs to, and why a chase is a poor way to learn a firearm.

Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?

Regeneration

53 instead of 41

Regeneration is still a crime film, and it scores 53 instead of 41. What you gain is household: A boy from the street, not a parent's house; the gang becomes the home he has.

The eight

  1. 6
    Industry

    Gamekeepers do the keeping; poachers are taking the game.

  2. 1
    Household

    No child or marriage is in it; the quarrel is over game.

  3. 3
    Piety

    No one is shown choosing to put the gun down.

  4. 4
    Courage

    Keeper and poacher both run a chase they might lose.

  5. 6
    Republic

    The picture is a fight over game, which is a rule about land.

  6. 3
    Temperance

    You are sold the chase, and the guns are not a trick to copy.

  7. 5
    Truth

    Britain had this chase before Porter's robbery was the famous one.

  8. 5
    Stewardship

    The stake is the game on the land, which somebody meant to keep.

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

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.

Goosebumps

54 instead of 41

Goosebumps is still a horror film, and it scores 54 instead of 41. What you gain is temperance: Meddling is how it starts.

The eight

  1. 3
    Industry

    The work of the show is coerced joy. That is not a craft. It is a demand.

  2. 4
    Household

    The children are the cast and the captives. No parent is in the room that matters.

  3. 2
    Piety

    The host's happiness is the only creed, and it is a lie.

  4. 7
    Courage

    One child refuses the dance. The refusal is the brave act.

  5. 4
    Republic

    A set is not a people. The children are being governed by a toy.

  6. 3
    Temperance

    The horror is built out of a children's show. That is the point, and it is a cost.

  7. 6
    Truth

    The host says the missing child has gone somewhere wonderful. The picture shows that this is not true.

  8. 4
    Stewardship

    Nothing is being kept for the children. They are being spent to keep the show smiling.

Live historically

Let a child in this house refuse a game, and do not punish the refusal.
