MOANA ★★★½☆
It is crazy that even in 2016, it still feels refreshing to have a female-led animation that does not have the protagonist defined by a love interest. My review: http://www.filmaluation.com/moana.html FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM ★★★☆☆
Harry Potter universe increases thematic ambitions: Segregation, witch hunts, abuse, death penalty. Shame about continued lack of casting diversity, and mediocre direction. DIVINES ★★★★★
D: Houda Benyamina. S: Oulaya Amara, Deborah Lukumuena, Kevin Mischel, Jisca Kalvanda, Majdouline Idrissi. The female LA HAINE. Perhaps even better? My review: http://www.filmaluation.com/divines.html James Franco in drama mode, usually no. James Franco in comedy mode, usually welcome. The GHOST IN THE SHELL live action movie looks a bit rubbish compared to the 1995 anime. |

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.
