Even though it has James Franco in it, it is from the creator of THE WIRE. JAGGA JASOOS ★★★★☆
D: Anurag Basu. S: Katrina Kaif, Ranbir Kapoor, Saswata Chatterjee, Denzil Smith, Saurabh Shukla. A lovely, super-stylish Bollywood musical action-comedy, about amateur detectives taking on arms dealers. AMÉLIE meets ROMANCING THE STONE. WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES ★★★★★
D: Matt Reeves (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Let Me In, Cloverfield). S: Andy Serkis, Woody Harrelson, Steve Zahn, Toby Kebbell, Judy Greer. An arthouse political invective masquerading as a blockbuster. The whole film is an emotional gut-punch. CHURCHILL was a damp squib. Will the Gary Oldman starrer be better? TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY in 3D is spectacular. My review: http://www.filmaluation.com/terminator-2-judgment-day.html The trailer: THE INCREDIBLE JESSICA JAMES ★★★★☆
D: Jim Strouse (Grace is Gone). S: Jessica Williams, Chris O’Dowd, Lakeith Stanfield, Noël Wells. Comes close to being an evergreen character comedy. My review: http://www.filmaluation.com/the-incredible-jessica-james.html |

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.
