Comedy vengeance flick. Gory, intentionally awkward, lean - no time wasting. I rate the gear-shift ending.

I hope the combat choreography at least matches its predecessor. EASY [season one] ★★☆☆☆ Superficial and slight. What does this collection of vignettes, concerning modern relationships, shine a light on?   The filmmakers have set themselves a Herculean task not to disappoint. Jonathan Levine's back catalogue is a mixed bag. His best are 50/50 and ALL THE BOYS LOVE MANDY LANE. Out to own today: War Dogs
The directorial debut of producer Denise Di Novi (BATMAN RETURNS, HEATHERS, EDWARD SCISSORHANDS). Unusual and ambitious, but not as sublime as director Olivier Assayas' previous, CLOUDS OF SILS MARIA. THE BELKO EXPERIMENT ★★★☆☆ D: Greg McLean (Wolf Creek 2, Rogue, Wolf Creek). W: James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy, Slither, Super). S: John Gallagher Jr, Tony Goldwyn, John C. McGinley, Adria Arjona, Michael Rooker, Melanie Diaz. Fun, but not hardcore enough. ‘Battle Royale’-lite. My review: http://www.filmaluation.com/the-belko-experiment.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.
