I have a real soft spot for monster movies, but the quality to quantity ratio is not good. The last PURGE movie was a series high after wasted opportunities. Can the prequel continue the momentum? A QUIET PLACE ★★★★☆
D: John Krasinski. S: Emily Blunt, John Krasinski, Millicent Simmonds, Noah Jupe. A horror movie with brio. Has elements of JURASSIC PARK, TRMORS, CLOVERFIELD and SIGNS, yet feels fresh. A couple of quibbles don’t dampen the experience. Will THE DARKEST MINDS be in the same league as THE GIRL WITH ALL THE GIFTS? Feels like awhile since Paul Schrader made an accomplished movie. The trailer for FIRST REFORMED. GAME OVER, MAN! ★★½☆☆
D: Kyle Newacheck. S: Adam Devine, Anders Holm, Blake Anderson, Aya Cash, Daniel Stern, Neal McDonough, Sam Richardson, Rhona Mitra. A puerile, comedy DIE HARD. If you like dick jokes combined with over the top violence and generic plotting, this is for you. Out to own today: Blade of the Immortal

Filmaluation is dedicated to arts culture, with a particular focus on film. I care about intelligence, quality and entertainment. Need some movie and TV show recommendations? See the drop down to the right of the Home tab. Enjoy. 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. (That appreciation doesn’t stop me from having high standards though.) This online magazine is edited by Hemanth Kissoon. Filmaluation is owned by Filmaluation Limited (Company number 8549302.
