The pinballing STARBUCK, causing mild havoc, prevents tedium; but the sentimentality ladled on thicker than school custard sticks in the throat.

The pinballing STARBUCK, causing mild havoc, prevents tedium; but the sentimentality ladled on thicker than school custard sticks in the throat. My review: http://www.filmaluation.com/starbuck.html 
One of the greatest animated films of all time is getting a Blu-ray release today. You need it in your life. My review of MY NEIGHBOUR TOTORO from back in the day: http://www.filmaluation.com/my-neighbour-totoro.html  Just in case you haven't seen this magnificent teaser trailer... I love the novel. We'll know in June whether the movie captures its brilliant inventiveness.  Goofy and charming, the boisterous energy will win over those who like seeing the resourceful and honourable take to task the exploitative. My review of THE GRAND HEIST: http://www.filmaluation.com/the-grand-heist.html 
DERANGED is part of the London Korean Film Festival This fast paced virus thriller has brutal and exhilarating symptoms, but doesn't transmogrify, disappointingly. My review: http://www.filmaluation.com/deranged.html 
I know it’s not out until January (TBC), but start anticipating ace documentary on photojournalist MCCULLIN. (Rumours suggest Tom Hardy wants to play him.) My review: http://www.filmaluation.com/mccullin.html  Worse than BATTLESHIP. Worse than Rain’s NINJA ASSASSIN. Not as bad as PEARL HARBOUR. My take on the dire BLACK EAGLE (R2B: RETURN TO BASE): http://www.filmaluation.com/black-eagle-r2b-return-to-base.html  WOOCHI: THE DEMON SLAYER is a winsome and bonkers hotchpotch of martial arts, THE SORCERER’S APPRENTICE and HELLBOY. And it somehow works. My review: http://www.filmaluation.com/woochi-the-demon-slayer.html 
THE THIEVES shouldn’t work, but somehow it does, just, by the skin of its teeth. My review is up: http://www.filmaluation.com/the-thieves.html Actor Kim Yoon Suk and Director Choi Dong Hoon at the London Korean Film Festival last night for THE THIEVES. THE THIEVES ★★★ Shaky con caper evolves into action thriller; eventually won me over with its throw-everything-into-the-mix attitude.

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.
