Four years tardy to this, but better late than never, right? The Swedish and Danish police have to cooperate on an escalating murder case. Detective Saga (Sofia Helin) is a winning creation. Beyond the thrills is scathing political commentary. Out to own today: Spy
HAPPY HOUR ★★★★☆
5 hour 17 minute film on marital discord, from the perspective of four women. The loquacious verses the mute. The relationship price of an inability to articulate. MASTER OF NONE [season one] ★★★★★
Tackles modern 30-something metropolitans’ anxieties and frustrations with Aziz Ansari's trademark wit. The show skewers multiple targets. AN ★★★★½
Director Naomi Kawase follows STILL THE WATER with another winning mix of the uplifting and melancholy. Her filmmaking humanity impresses. WARCRAFT: THE BEGINNING looks awful. The run of crummy video game to movie adaptations does not seem to be abating. |

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.
