The Hurt Locker

The Hurt Locker

50Watch it awake.

The skill is not the same thing as a reason. Adults. The wife is the witness. Watch awake.

Pass it on

The review

Kathryn Bigelow's sergeant, William James, takes over a bomb unit that has just lost a man. He is brilliant and he is careless with the people beside him. The film's great scene is not an explosion. It is a supermarket, after, where the abundance of a home country means nothing to him. He goes back.

Adults. This is the cousin of American Sniper and it makes a similar mistake if you let it: the competence is so absorbing that a room forgets to ask whether a man who cannot live at home is a model or a wound. Say wound. Admire the nerve if you must. Do not hand his restlessness to a boy as a personality worth having.

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

Courage Under Fire

63 instead of 50

Courage Under Fire is still a war film, and it scores 63 instead of 50. What you gain is republic: An institution handing out its highest medal has a reason to need the story clean.

The eight

  1. 8
    Industry

    Defusing a bomb is a craft, and the film understands the craft.

  2. 4
    Household

    A wife and a child and a cereal aisle. He cannot enter his own kitchen.

  3. 2
    Piety

    No faith. The bomb is the only liturgy he has, and that is the sickness.

  4. 7
    Courage

    He walks toward the device. Courage, and also a man who needs the device.

  5. 4
    Republic

    The Army is a set of rules he treats as optional. The film notices and still half admires him.

  6. 3
    Temperance

    The tension is the product. You are invited to need the next bomb too.

  7. 7
    Truth

    The addiction is named. The grocery store is the truthful scene.

  8. 5
    Stewardship

    What it leaves is a man who will choose the war over the house. Do not call that a compliment.

10 Things I Hate About You

10 Things I Hate About You

50Watch it awake.

The bet is the sin. The poem is the repair. Older teens, with the bet named.

Pass it on

The review

Someone is paid to take the difficult sister out so the younger one can be dated. That is a use of a person, and the film knows it before it decides to be charming about it. Kat is not a problem to be solved. She is a girl with a standard, some of it pride and some of it sense. The poem works because it is specific and public and ashamed. A romance that ends on a confession is better than one that ends on a wink.

The Shakespeare underneath is a harsh play. This softens it into a high school, which is a mercy, and keeps the money, which is the part you have to say out loud so a teenager does not learn that being purchased is a meet-cute.

The Princess Bride

64 instead of 50

The Princess Bride is still a comedy film, and it scores 64 instead of 50. What you gain is industry: A quest with chores: the cliffs, the fight, the pit.

The eight

  1. 4
    Industry

    School, a bet, a band.

  2. 5
    Household

    Sisters under one roof, mismanaged by the plot and then restored.

  3. 3
    Piety

    No creed. A conscience in the last scene.

  4. 6
    Courage

    The poem is said in public.

  5. 4
    Republic

    A campus that treats a girl as a door prize.

    The scheme is rebuked, late.

  8. 6

    The poem is the part to keep.
