Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

8/9/2024

 
​BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE ★★★☆☆
Not the disaster I thought it was going to be. The most visually engaging a Tim Burton movie has been in a long, long time. Reminded me of WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT. The energy papers over the cracks while watching. The church climax and the monochrome subtitled flashback are the two standout scenes.

Crossing

7/9/2024

 
​CROSSING ★★★★★
A road trip drama of the highest order. A quest with deep feeling. A search to right wrongs. Characters coalesce more deftly than most adventure flicks. A film filled with sensitivity and fellowship.
Crossing

The Crow [2024]

1/9/2024

 
​THE CROW ★☆☆☆☆
A worst movie of the year contender. Pointless. A film with a shocking lack of attention to detail and dearth of characterisation. The dialogue is more painful to witness than the poorly orchestrated violence.

Out to Own Today: Sasquatch Sunset

26/8/2024

 
​Out to own today: 

​Sasquatch Sunset

Picture
SASQUATCH SUNSET ★★★☆☆
The make-up effects for the Bigfeet fall between two stools - their look is neither funny nor wow-inducing. Starts scatological, and unexpectedly evolves into the melancholy with a one-two punch of the personal and environmental. The last shot is quietly damning.
My review, click here.

Power

20/8/2024

 
​POWER ★★★★★
The best documentary of the year so far. An extraordinary examination of the history of police in America. A cogent and compelling film.

A Family Affair

20/8/2024

 
​A FAMILY AFFAIR ★☆☆☆☆
What’s Nicole Kidman doing in this generic, formulaic waste of time? THE IRON CLAW showed how capable an actor Zac Efron can be; why does he keep churning out these duff (rom-)comedies? You know a movie is deeply substandard when there are conversation montages where you don’t hear the words.
A Family Affair

Borderlands

20/8/2024

 
​BORDERLANDS ★½☆☆☆
An intergalactic blockbuster heist flick should’ve been a gonzo delight. This sci-fi action-comedy is devoid of coherent world-building, thrills, and amusement. The climax is witless.

Paris 2024 Olympic Opening Ceremony

27/7/2024

 
​Those with BBC iPlayer (or whichever catch up service you have), you should watch the Paris Olympic opening ceremony. It is sensational! As I watched the first two hours live, I was blown away. Original, imaginative, artistic, progressive, ambitious, dazzling. What a clever and exhilarating showcase of Paris, and France’s contribution to world culture.

Twisters

18/7/2024

 
​TWISTERS ★½☆☆☆
A blockbuster of ham-fisted set pieces. The story touches on climate change and post-disaster exploitation, but does too little with either. An annoying combo of histrionic urgency, and painfully tinny dialogue and characterisation.

    ​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.)
