“Beware of mediocrity, it is the fungus of the mind,” Dr Clair (Helena Bonham Carter)
My review of THE YOUNG AND PRODIGIOUS T.S. SPIVET: http://www.filmaluation.com/the-young-and-prodigious-ts-spivet.html Golf fans in general, Seve Ballesteros fans in particular, you may want to cast your eyes at this trailer: With DESPICABLE ME spin-off THE MINIONS movie on the horizon, we're surprised the Penguins haven't been given their own flick sooner.
 Out to own today: Lone Survivor  “That’s a lot more than 10 guys,” Michael Murphy (Taylor Kitsch) Director-actor Peter Berg is coming off a stinker. One of the worst of 2012. You may have caught it. That’s right, BATTLESHIP. But it is a testament to his character that he dusted himself down and has now delivered a cut above war film. LONE SURVIVOR grows in esteem the more one chews over the presentation. It is that rare beast, a combat flick that might satisfy liberals and conservatives alike.

If so, the jury is out on the winner. Double disappointment comes from a classy cast squandered, coupled with lead Frost off form (contrast his turns in the underrated PAUL and sci-fi spoof sitcom HYPERDRIVE).

THE HANGOVER has a lot to answer for. The stag-do, wedding movie subgenres have increased significantly. BRIDESMAIDS aside, the quality has not been to the standard that comedies should reach for. LAST VEGAS joins the duff A FEW BEST MEN. The quartet of normally excellent leads (Douglas, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Kline) drown in sub-standard material. All four have won acting Oscars. LAST VEGAS is a car crash where you want to look away.

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.
