BLACK PANTHER is out in February. Talented director. Amazing cast. This is the superhero film I'm excited about:
Four duds in a row. GODS OF EGYPT. LONDON HAS FALLEN. A FAMILY MAN. GEOSTORM. Actor Gerard Butler is not a reliable indicator of quality. Out to own today:
THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING, MISSOURI ★★★½☆
D: Martin McDonagh (Seven Psychopaths, In Bruges). S: Frances McDormand, Woody Harrelson, Sam Rockwell, Peter Dinklage, Caleb Landry Jones, Abbie Cornish, John Hawkes, Clarke Peters, Kerry Condon. Director Martin McDonagh still has not reached the potential promised in his excellent cinema debut, IN BRUGES. My review: http://www.filmaluation.com/three-billboards-outside-ebbing-missouri.html BLADE OF THE IMMORTAL ★★☆☆☆
D: Takashi Miike (Yakuza Apocalypse, Over Your Dead Body, Hara Kiri: Death of a Samurai, 13 Assassins, Yatterman; Big Bang Love, Juvenile A; The Happiness of the Katakuris, Ichi the Killer.) S: Takuya Kimura, Hana Sugisaki, Sôta Fukushi. How could a Takashi Miike samurai movie be this tedious? My review: http://www.filmaluation.com/blade-of-the-immortal.html |

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.
