Eli Roth is one of the worst directors working. Maybe I’m a masochist because I continue to watch his movies? But the masochism has finally paid off. A horror film about consumerism and avarice. At times so gory, it makes you laugh.
THANKSGIVING ★★★☆☆
Eli Roth is one of the worst directors working. Maybe I’m a masochist because I continue to watch his movies? But the masochism has finally paid off. A horror film about consumerism and avarice. At times so gory, it makes you laugh. NAPOLEON ★★☆☆☆
Cursory, farcical, disjointed. Occasional splendour, but undermined by a muted colour palette that gets tired. Joaquin Phoenix feels like he has carried on from BEAU IS AFRAID. LOKI [season two] ★★★★☆
Marvel TV shows have largely been lacklustre, including LOKI season one. Season two feels like it has come out of nowhere. Fizzing with unrelenting, propulsive energy, and dynamic camerawork, the pace is breathtaking. Out to own: SCRAPPER
THE KILLER [2023] ★★★★★
Immaculate. Mesmerising. Precisely calibrated movie-making. The dense atmosphere few can create, with the pop philosophy of COLLATERAL. Can’t wait to re-watch that fight scene. (Out today on Netflix.) Out to own: MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 7

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.
