The Family Fang

“You’re in a weird place? I got shot in the head with a potato,” Buster Fang (Jason Bateman)

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.)
