It is cinematographer Dean Cundey’s birthday. His top 5 films:
- BACK TO THE FUTURE - DEATH BECOMES HER - JURASSIC PARK - THE THING [1982] - WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT Each film from director Joanna Hogg is progressively less engaging than her strong debut, UNRELATED (2007). Will her latest buck the trend? It is actor Jung-woo Ha’s birthday. His top 5 films:
- KUNDO: AGE OF THE RAMPANT - THE CHASER - THE HANDMAIDEN - THE YELLOW SEA - TUNNEL CAPTAIN MARVEL ★★★½☆
Ds: Anna Boden (Mississippi Grind, It’s Kind of a Funny Story, Sugar), Ryan Fleck (Mississippi Grind, It’s Kind of a Funny Story, Sugar, Half Nelson). S: Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn, Dijmon Hounsou, Jude Law, Annette Bening, Clark Gregg, Gemma Chan. Fast-paced entertainment. Plus a little political allegory. Has moments of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER levels of elation. Though, bar THE AVENGERS, the Marvel Cinema Universe has a fight choreography problem. Watching endless punching/throwing is unexciting. It is actor Rachel Weisz’s birthday. Her top 5 films:
- AGORA - DISOBEDIENCE - ENEMY AT THE GATES - THE FAVOURITE - THE FOUNTAIN HEREDITARY (2018) was a horror film with the elegance of THE SIXTH SENSE and the meditatively paced menace of THE WITCH, but fumbled the ending. However, it showed the talent of director Ari Aster. The trailer for his sophomore feature: “If that dude was real, he’d think he was me,” John Shaft II (Samuel L. Jackson) Out to own today: The House That Jack Built
It is actor Javier Bardem’s birthday. His top 5 films:

The vital ambitions of art and entertainment: - Perceptiveness - Illumination - The unexpected - Innovation Brains and soul are key; but adrenaline junkies do not fret, there is also much love for an experience that delivers a sucker-punch to the guts via stunningly delivered thrills. 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.
