Last night, Joss Whedon, one of my writing heroes, talked hilariously and frankly about his career, and was then joined on stage by actors Amy Acker and Alexis Denisof.
Not magna cum laude, but sporadic virtuoso work.
Out in the UK 12th July, and the USA 21st June. My review of MONSTERS UNIVERSITY: http://www.filmaluation.com/monsters-university.html On Sunday, finally got to tick off one of the greats, from my musicians to see live list, master cellist Yo-Yo Ma. Check out Spike Jonze's footage of him: On Friday, at King's College London, producer Kori Rae, director Dan Scanlon and actress Helen Mirren attended the MONSTERS UNIVERSITY press conference.

Not since PROMETHEUS have I encountered a movie so ill thought out and illogical. Out in the UK and USA on the 21st. My review of WORLD WAR Z: http://www.filmaluation.com/world-war-z.html Rivalry and positioning, and a fascinating choice of allegorical ending, mean this play should be engaged with.
My review of MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS GOT HER HEAD CHOPPED OFF: http://www.filmaluation.com/mary-queen-of-scots-got-her-head-chopped-off.html “I don’t want a cad living on my land. He’s not a cad is he?”
A turgid and artless film, incongruously about boldness and artistry. The excruciating SUMMER IN FEBRUARY is out on the 14th. My review: http://www.filmaluation.com/summer-in-february.html The beauty and fluidity of camera movement via the steadicam. You need this montage in your life: The Art of Steadicam from Refocused Media on Vimeo. As the Marvel universe builds and builds, THOR: THE DARK WORLD is the next piece in the puzzle.
Out in the UK 30th October, and the USA 8th November. |

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.
