I started doing this on the first of May, matching other critics who maintain lists of what they are watching. When I published my list in May, I had 92 releases from 2025, I now count 140 (counting streaming titles, and advance screeners for films releasing in June). Still, some critically acclaimed films haven’t crossed my path, including Sinners, so if it isn’t here, I might just have not seen it yet. the Top ten Films Of 2025 So Far: Deaf President Now Tornado the Parenting Lavender Men The Ruse The Assessment Thunderbolts Bonus Track The Luckiest Man In America … Continue reading Going In Blind: the Year In Film So Far: June Edition

Disney just loves pissing me off. I can already predict they didn’t describe the new Phineas and Ferb revival starting next week because they didn’t describe the Wizards OF Waverly Place revival last summer. I’m not even sure they got audio description for the documentary Sally, which premieres in June, because they are inconsistent with NatGeo co-productions.

I’ve already reviewed the film once, but I was hoping to get a better grasp of the audio description for Captain America Brave New World when it hit Disney plus, but Disney Plus doesn’t want me to hear it either. The mix is awful. Some of the loud action sequences force the audio description to be inaudible. A lot of the time you’re straining. You can hear the audio description in a few of the quieter moments, so you know it is there, but it is just not mixed well. It’s a shame that this is now a representation of … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 05/29/25
