UNBROKEN ★★½☆☆
Angelina Jolie’s second as director is a gruelling and sadistic war film, without the necessary follow up. My review: http://www.filmaluation.com/unbroken.html Terrence Malick's latest looks ace. (Will hopefully rinse out the taste of TO THE WONDER.) It is in competition at the Berlin Film Festival 2015. 99 HOMES ★★★★★
Andrew Garfield and Michael Shannon team up and make amends respectively for dire offerings THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN and MAN OF STEEL. My review: http://www.filmaluation.com/99-homes.html I don’t remember a triceratops, or Sir Lancelot, being exhibited at the British Museum.
My review of NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM: SECRET OF THE TOMB - http://www.filmaluation.com/night-at-the-museum-secret-of-the-tomb.html DIVERGENT is one of the worst films of 2014. Will its sequel be just as shoddy? EXODUS: GODS AND KINGS ★★☆☆☆
Ridley Scott sleepwalks through a fast paced epic. It needed to slow down for introspection/nuance/originality. My review: http://www.filmaluation.com/exodus-gods-and-kings.html How can a film live up to such a title?

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.
