The review

I kept waiting for the castle to do all the work, and then he is simply in London. A count leaves home by ship and wants a woman there. A doctor already knows what he is. Bela Lugosi. It was a large horror hit in Frankenstein's year, and not the bigger of the two. The manners are the disguise. I left the bites out of the retelling.

An older child can watch with a parent nearby. I would say first that he lives on other people's blood, so the courtesy is not a character reference. Little kids stay out. People remember Lugosi. Memory is not the same as a wise thing to leave running while I fall asleep on the couch.

Bride of Frankenstein

51 instead of 40

Bride of Frankenstein is still a horror film, and it scores 51 instead of 40. What you gain is household: He asks for a companion beside him, and that request is the life.

The eight

  1. 5
    Industry

    A doctor knows what the count is, and that knowing is the useful work.

  2. 2
    Household

    He wants a woman in London, and she is a target, not a wife or child.

  3. 4
    Piety

    The count does not stop himself; a doctor is the one who knows.

  4. 4
    Courage

    The count leaves his castle and crosses by ship for a woman.

  5. 5
    Republic

    He comes by ship into London, a city he means to use.

  6. 3
    Temperance

    He lives on other people's blood, and the manners dress that want.

  7. 6
    Truth

    The manners are a disguise, and the doctor is who sees past them.

  8. 3
    Stewardship

    What stayed is Lugosi's count, a horror hit smaller than Frankenstein.

Live historically

This week, tell an older child the count's courtesy is the disguise, and leave the bites out.

12 Strong

12 Strong

40Leave it.

The ride is the poster. The war after the ride is not in the film. Adults. Leave it if you want the truth of the long war.

The review

The story of ODA 595 is worth knowing: a small team sent into Afghanistan to work with Abdul Rashid Dostum against the Taliban in the fall of 2001. Horses, mountains, a war that had already been going on for other people for years. The film takes that material and sands it until the ride is the meaning.

I would not put it on for a boy. If an adult watches it, the correction is mandatory. Those twelve came home. The war did not end when the ride looked glorious. A film that stops at the glory is asking to be used. Decline.

Consider this

Warhorse One

51 instead of 40

Warhorse One is still a war film, and it scores 51 instead of 40. What you gain is household: The whole stake is a child who has no one else in the valley.

The eight

  1. 6
    Industry

    Horseback coordination with an Afghan ally is a real kind of work, and the opening has it.

  2. 3
    Household

    Families are the goodbye. They are not a home the film returns to with anything hard.

  3. 2
    Piety

    Vengeance is the creed. Little else.

  4. 6
    Courage

    Riding into a war they do not know is courage. The film makes it look like destiny.

  5. 4
    Republic

    September 11 is the warrant for everything that follows, and the film does not test the warrant.

  6. 3
    Temperance

    The charge on horseback is the product. It is meant to be cheered.

  7. 5
    Truth

    The first weeks were real. The movie is the recruiting version of them.

  8. 3
    Stewardship

    What it leaves is a wish. A wish is a bad inheritance from a war that lasted twenty years.

Live historically

If you mention the horseback charge, also say the year the war ended, and how long that was.

For this house

Keep going

The next title is the one nearest what this house keeps, then the measure where it is thin. Nothing here is a crowd. It does not leave this device.
