It's WATCHMEN on Blu-ray o'clock. Special edition has a face.
The first question anyone contemplating making, let alone seeing, should contemplate: Do we need another effing straight Dickens adaptation? My review of GREAT EXPECTATIONS: http://www.filmaluation.com/great-expectations.html 
Walter Hill’s 80s action classic SOUTHERN COMFORT is coming to Blu-ray on Monday. The similarity with ALIENS’ deoxyribonucleic acid is remarkable – both a Vietnam conflict allegory about rudderless ‘grunts’ overwhelmed by guerrilla warfare. Who doesn’t love a symbolic action fest? My review: http://www.filmaluation.com/southern-comfort.html Created a little collage of our winning team at the London Comedy Film Festival movie quiz last night.

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.
