It is actor Angela Bassett’s birthday. Her top 5 films:
- BLACK PANTHER - CHI-RAQ - MALCOLM X - MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - FALLOUT - STRANGE DAYS Director Jacques Audiard (DHEEPAN, THE BEAT THAT MY HEART SKIPPED, READ MY LIPS) hasn’t put a foot wrong. His latest: It is actor Jennifer Lawrence’s birthday. Her top 5 films:
- MOTHER! - SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK - THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE - X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST - WINTER’S BONE MADELINE’S MADELINE ★★★☆☆
D: Josephine Decker (Thou Wast Mild and Lovely). S: Miranda July, Molly Parker, Helena Howard, Sunita Mani, Sophie Traub, Dana Eskelson. Equally attention-grabbing and annoying. If Helena Howard is Charlie Sheen in PLATOON, then Miranda July is Willem Dafoe, and Molly Parker is Tom Berenger. The first casualty of pretentious performance art is innocence. My review: http://www.filmaluation.com/madelines-madeline.html It is actor Halle Berry’s birthday. Her top 5 films:
- BULWORTH - CLOUD ATLAS - MONSTER’S BALL - THE LAST BOY SCOUT - X-MEN 2 IN THE AISLES (In den Gängen) ★★★★★
D: Thomas Stuber (A Heavy Heart). S: Franz Rogowski, Sandra Hüller, Peter Kurth. German cinema is on fire at the moment. A film set in a supermarket recognising the dignity of ordinary lives. Told with flair about understated camaraderie and romance. My review: http://www.filmaluation.com/in-the-aisles.html Out to own today: Thoroughbreds
It is actor Moritz Bleibtreu’s birthday. His top 5 films:
- KILL YOUR FRIENDS - RUN LOLA RUN - SPEED RACER - THE BAADER MEINHOF COMPLEX - THE CUT |

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.
