“I just have to say this is super creepy and unorthodox,” Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell)
The near decade wait is over. My review of ANCHORMAN 2: THE LEGEND CONTINUES: http://www.filmaluation.com/anchorman-2-the-legend-continues.html 
Let’s put this out there: Hayao Miyazaki is the greatest animation director of all time. And one is heartbroken on hearing of his retirement.
My review of his latest and last, THE WIND RISES: http://www.filmaluation.com/the-wind-rises.html INTERSTELLAR trailer shown in IMAX size pre-HOBBIT. Like the monologue. Not enough yet to gauge. Reminds of CONTACT. Here it is: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG ★★★★☆ Revel in world building, but HOBBIT films suffer from poor pacing, and an intangibility thanks to so much CGI. 
DEADFALL ★★☆☆☆ Classy cast, and a landscape made for a chase flick, not attached to a convincing plot. Is no ONE FALSE MOVE. 
GRIGRIS ★★★★☆ Engagingly evolving: Dance pic, BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S-esque love story, social commentary. Charismatic lead. 
Imagine a bondage S&M comedy take on THE GAME. My review of actor-writer-director Hitoshi Matsumoto’s latest, R100: http://www.filmaluation.com/r100.html
CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS 2 ★★★★☆ Gag/pun rate higher than most live action movies. Inventive and energetic. 
TOP OF THE LAKE ★★★★½ Greek tragedy murder mystery. Like THE KILLING, except not boll*cks. If not for GRAVITY, best cinematography of 2013.
Rinse repeat. The director of ONCE returns to romantic drama set in the music industry. Starring Mark Ruffalo and Keira Knightley, my review of CAN A SONG SAVE YOUR LIFE? http://www.filmaluation.com/can-a-song-save-your-life.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.
