For a superhero show, this is surprisingly brutal and bleak. (Would be five stars, if not for the perfunctory direction and the unimpressive fight choreography.)
JESSICA JONES [season one] ★★★★☆
For a superhero show, this is surprisingly brutal and bleak. (Would be five stars, if not for the perfunctory direction and the unimpressive fight choreography.) Out to own today: Ant-Man
SLEEPING WITH OTHER PEOPLE ★★☆☆☆
Annoying romantic-comedy predictability (but tied to stylish direction). My review: http://www.filmaluation.com/sleeping-with-other-people.html ABOUT RAY ★★★★☆
Starring Naomi Watts, Susan Sarandon and Elle Fanning, an engaging bohemian soap opera used as identity debate. My review: http://www.filmaluation.com/about-ray.html Marvel sure knows how to make a trailer. Let’s hope this eschews the formula, for storytelling not seen in the superhero juggernauts gracing our screens. CHRONIC ★★★½☆
Tim Roth's home attendant nurse is a cryptic mix of creepiness and devotion. Languorous takes cut just in time. THE GOOD DINOSAUR ★★☆☆☆
One of Pixar’s worst. A dinosaur Western dud. A movie as meaningless as its title. My review: http://www.filmaluation.com/the-good-dinosaur.html |

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.
