As we get closer to the 100th Oscars in just a few years, there is an already massive list of films. I have not seen every Best Picture winner, so a few simply just aren’t here because I didn’t watch them. others are perfectly fine films, but I would have picked something else. And a few, well, it’s OK to not like everything, even a Best Picture winner. While a list of the most iconic winners might be different, these are the ten films that strike my fancy the most. #10- Kramer Vs Kramer (1979) Director: Robert Benton Cast: Dustin … Continue reading My Top 10 Favorite Best Picture Winners of All Time

A lot of what I do is to try and deepen the accessibility for the blind and visually impaired audiences, who like to enjoy film and television.

Discussing film critically, … Continue reading Introducing The Blind Film Critics Society, And Our Winners From The 2024 Film Season

In September, I revealed my current top rankings for Best Picture. Now, it is time to take a hard look at who is in and… well… if I don’t mention them, I guess they are out. At least, they aren’t in my rankings. 2) Angelina Jolie (Maria) I actually think once Jolie gets the nomination, she’ll overtake Madison.While Pablo Lorraine hasn’t gotten his last two ladies Oscars, he has gotten them both to nominations.

It took me far too long to log this list, but here it is finally in text form. I’m striving to do better in terms of figuring out who did audio description for every film. This year, the information is very spotty, so I’m just mentioning the film, and where I watched it. Sometimes there are multiple tracks. However, often the track from the cinema ends up on streaming as well. or perhaps, we get the UK track. 20) Air (Amazon) This audio description really takes off in the multitude of 80’s references, as well as some really well described … Continue reading The Best Audio Description Tracks of 2023

Belated, I know, but I’ve rolled out many of my top or best of lists of 2023. I’ve seen almost 300 films released in 2023, which is about the same as last year.
