It is heartening how so many of the acting ensemble from the excellent ANIMAL KINGDOM (2010) has gone on to success:
- Joel Edgerton (WARRIOR) - Ben Mendelsohn (ROGUE ONE) - Jacki Weaver (SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK) - James Frecheville (BLACK ’47) - Sullivan Stapleton (GANGSTER SQUAD) Who isn't a fan of politician AOC?! Netflix has a documentary arriving soon: Director Zhang Yimou’s SHADOW is an elaborate, inventive action film. My review: http://www.filmaluation.com/shadow.html The trailer: It is actor Djimon Hounsou’s birthday. His top 5 films:
- AMISTAD - BLOOD DIAMOND - GLADIATOR - GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY - KING ARTHUR: LEGEND OF THE SWORD WESTWORLD [seasons 1-2] ★★★★★
Just wow! I binged both seasons in two weeks. Masterful storytelling. Thematically dense. Like Peter Jackson's KING KONG, the show is thrilling and deeply melancholy. (It does not need a season three.) I love WESTWORLD's terminology: - "The Cradle" - "Reveries" - “The Mesa” - "The Mesh Network" - "The Forge" A cross between DEATH RACE 2000 and ATTACK ON TITAN, but a little too sparse on the action sequences. An ambitious British zombie show. It is violently anti-violence.
KALANK ★★★★☆
D: Abhishek Varman. S: Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt, Aditya Roy Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit, Sonakshi Sinha, Sanjay Dutt. A three-hour Bollywood epic. Progressive about marriage, compassionate about society, and with stunning dance sequences. A little clunky in places, but easily forgivable. It is actor Rooney Mara’s birthday. Her top 5 films:
- A GHOST STORY - CAROL - HER - LION - THE SOCIAL NETWORK |

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.
