It is actor Cobie Smulders’s birthday. Her top 5 films: - CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER - KILLING GUNTHER - THE AVENGERS - THE LEGO MOVIE - THEY CAME TOGETHER  They Came Together Out to own today: Knives Out
THE OUTSIDER [season one] ★★★★★ A murder-mystery horror. So terrifying at times, I actually had the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Based on the novel by genre maestro Stephen King, adapted by crime maestro Richard Price. A cross between IT and TRUE DETECTIVE.   FOSSE/VERDON [mini-series] ★★★★☆ Dense. Every minute is wrung of drama. Gruelling and upsetting. Michelle Williams and Sam Rockwell wow. Superbly acted and written. Deft analyses of suffering and talent.   HUNTERS [season one] ★★★★☆ A show about Nazi-hunting starring Al Pacino. Not what I was expecting. Scarier and more distressing. Adrenaline, political commentary, death, and pain abound. Executive producer Jordan Peele (GET OUT, US) is proving an excellent brand.   It is writer Quentin Tarantino’s birthday. His top 5 films: - DJANGO UNCHAINED - INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS - NATURAL BORN KILLERS - PULP FICTION - TRUE ROMANCE  Django Unchained My top 10 favourite espionage movies of all time (in alphabetical order):  It is film composer Alan Silvestri’s birthday. His top 5 scores: - BACK TO THE FUTURE - FORREST GUMP - PREDATOR - THE ABYSS - THE AVENGERS  The Avengers LARA ★★★★★ D: Jan Ole Gerster (A Coffee in Berlin). S: Corinna Harfouch, Tom Schilling, Maria Dragus, Volkmar Kleinert, Gudrun Ritter, Mala Emde. A German anti-WHIPLASH, from the perspective of the narcissistic teacher. And is worth the seven-year wait for director Jan Ole Gerster's sophomore narrative feature. My review: http://www.filmaluation.com/lara.html  |

Noun, “filmaluation”: The evaluation of a film Verb, "to filmaluate”: To evaluate a film I am well aware how difficult it is to make a film, put on a stage play, create a television show, write a novel, let alone make something of note.
