SPECTRAL ★★½☆☆
‘Aliens’/‘Black Hawk Down’ with ghosts. Has a video game feel. Cliché characters and wrap up. I like how this franchise has different (human) leads for each instalment. THE AUTOPSY OF JANE DOE ★★☆☆☆
D: André Øvredal (Trollhunter). S: Emile Hirsch, Brian Cox, Ophelia Lovibond, Michael McElhatton, Olwen Catherine Kelly. Body horror starts promisingly, but resorts to cheap, obvious scares, descending to unmemorable haunted house flick. My review: http://www.filmaluation.com/the-autopsy-of-jane-doe.html This can’t be worse than THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN duo, can it? I can't believe I'm writing this... I'm actually looking forward to the new BAYWATCH movie: A MONSTER CALLS ★★★★☆
D: J.A. Bayona (The Impossible, The Orphanage). S: Sigourney Weaver, Felicity Jones, Toby Kebbell, Lewis MacDougall, Geraldine Chaplin, Liam Neeson. Who would have guessed a fantasy film, involving Liam Neeson as a giant speaking tree, would make grown men cry? (I didn’t of course.) My review: http://www.filmaluation.com/a-monster-calls.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.
