THE VILLAINESS ★★½☆☆ D: Byung-gil Jung. S: Ok-bin Kim, Ha-kyun Shin, Jun Sung, Seo-hyeong Kim. What a mess of an action movie. My review: http://www.filmaluation.com/the-villainess.html  WALKING OUT ★★½☆☆ Ds: Alex Smith, Adam Smith (The Slaughter Rule). S: Matt Bomer, Josh Wiggins, Bill Pullman, Alex Neustaedter, Lily Gladstone. A slightly hokey TV movie of the week, fathers and sons melodrama, set in the wilderness. My review: http://www.filmaluation.com/walking-out.html  68 KILL ★★★½☆ D: Trent Haaga. S: Matthew Gray Gubler, AnnaLynne McCord, Alisha Boe, Sheila Vand, Sam Eidson, David Maldonado, Eric Podnar, Hallie Grace Bradley. Refreshing role reversal and hilarious mayhem. My review: http://www.filmaluation.com/68-kill.html
INSYRIATED ★★★☆☆ D: Philippe Van Leeuw. S: Hiam Abbass, Diamand Bou Abboud, Juliette Navis. The war in Syria from the perspective of a house under siege. My review: http://www.filmaluation.com/insyriated.html  AMERICAN MADE ★★½☆☆ D: Doug Liman (Edge of Tomorrow, Fair Game, Jumper, Mr and Mrs Smith, The Bourne Identity, Go, Swingers). S: Tom Cruise, Domhnall Gleeson, Sarah Wright, Lola Kirke, Caleb Landry Jones, Jesse Plemons. Too much time spent almost celebrating drug/gunrunning audacity, and too little time on the political context.   LOGAN LUCKY is fun, but the heist is so preposterous it makes OCEAN'S 11 look like a Mike Leigh movie. (Shame about the lack of diverse casting.)   Is a sequel to THE LAST DETAIL wise? But if anyone can it's Linklater. LAST FLAG FLYING: Nicholson ➡️ Cranston Young ➡️ Fishburne Quaid ➡️ Carell |

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.
