PAST LIVES ★★★★★ Deeply romantic movies are rare. Set over a quarter of a century, this story delivers a bitter-sweet journey. PAST LIVES is a deft tear-jerker. My review: http://www.filmaluation.com/past-lives.html  YOU HURT MY FEELINGS ★★★★☆ Is anyone good at their job in this movie? An enjoyably squirm-inducing comedy about professional and relationship disappointments. The cast is on superb form. My review: http://www.filmaluation.com/you-hurt-my-feelings.html  SCRAPPER ★★★★½ Astutely judged emotionality and hilarity. Heartfelt in the best possible way. A film chock to the brim with charisma. My review: http://www.filmaluation.com/scrapper.html  TALK TO ME ★★★★☆ The horror movie toolbox is used with skill in this taut, moving Australian fright flick. Like IT FOLLOWS, the cast are not just cannon fodder. The scenes bookending the film impress. My review: http://www.filmaluation.com/talk-to-me.html  MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – DEAD RECKONING PART ONE ★★★★★ A globetrotting threading of the needle. Edge-of-your-seat adrenaline and exhilaration, intimidation and dread, a rare blockbuster that is both rivetingly claustrophobic and epic. Can't wait for PART TWO, due next year. My review: http://www.filmaluation.com/mission-impossible---dead-reckoning-part-one.html  The novels are fantastic. Will the Netflix television adaptation hold a candle? |

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.
