From the perspective of the bottom of a ginormous water tank, a killer whale lands on top of us in slow-motion. Then a few beats, and wreckage of a platform follows. Finally a body hits the water. Spectacular. Jaw-dropping. My review of RUST AND BONE is up: http://www.filmaluation.com/rust-and-bone.html  So much of SIGHTSEERS is watch-it-through-your-fingers awkwardness, and brilliant for it. My take on it is here. 
END OF WATCH is out in the USA now, at the LFF next month, and UK cinemas in November. If you love cop thrillers, this should be on your must-see list. My review: http://www.filmaluation.com/end-of-watch.html With its new free status, Time Out as a magazine has been gutted; a shadow of its former self. For instance Time Out Film has shrunk from 15 pages last week to 4 this week (plus 2 pages of adverts). Time Out's voice has been quietened, what a shame.

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.
