Not OK

Where I Watched It: Hulu Audio Description Provided By: Descriptive Video Works As I sit here and write something for my blog, after having recorded a video for my YouTube, I realize this film that is trying to say something about the presence of social media in our lives has effected the way many of us interact and make choices in our regular lives. So, while I’m fairly certain this film will not be for everyone, I think it is actually trying to say something. What that something is, will be based largely around how Zoey Deutch’s performance resonates with … Continue reading Not OK

Paper Moon

Where I Watched It: Paramount Plus English Audio Description Available?: No A rare review of a film where I did not have audio description. I would love to have audio description, and this being a Paramount release, it would have been nice to know that they care about a historically significant Oscar winner enough to make it available and accessible to those unfortunate enough to not be able to follow the many scenes of no dialogue in this work. But what made me randomly watch Paper Moon? Well, it is a classic. And I actually have never seen it. I … Continue reading Paper Moon

Endangered

Where I Watched It: HBO MAX English Audio Description Available?: Yes This documentary I’m sure many of you had no idea existed until this very moment is currently on Netflix. It has all the power and potential of a Category 5 hurricane. Some films choose rather safe topics, like just recapping the life of someone of historical significance in a unique or interesting way. But Endangered promises to blow open the door on how journalists and freedom of the press are being threatened all over the world. This isn’t just an American look at what’s wrong with the media, but … Continue reading Endangered

Splash

Where I watched It: Disney Plus English Audio Description Provided By: Deluxe Narrated By: Laura Post The last time Splash was made relevant to me was when film nerds who caught the opening of Disney Plus looked at all the offerings and said “Splash. That will be my first watch.” And then they noticed that Disney blurred out the nudity, and there was some minor internet outrage. I’m anti-censorship, but I’m also anti-watching a movie for the nudity. So, if you pervs cued up Splash only to see Daryl Hannah’s brief nudity, that’s what Pornhub is for. Not an actual … Continue reading Splash

Breakfast At Tiffany’s

Where I Watched It: Paramount Plus English Audio Description Available?: Yes I love it when a classic has audio description. I need to say that up front, because it addresses two things. one: the fact that the older titles get, the less likely that they are audio described. Films from around the same time period as Breakfast At Tiffany’s are sporadically chosen, instead of chosen with intent. Luckily, Breakfast At Tiffany’s qualifies on many levels as to why it has been prioritized, from its standing within the storied history of the Academy Awards, to its appearances on AFI lists. The … Continue reading Breakfast At Tiffany’s

Barb Wire

Where You Could Watch it: Showtime English Audio Description Available?: Yes, but not on Showtime. I didn’t ever think that I would want to see Barb Wire. I figured that time had left it behind, and I wasn’t missing anything. Then Hulu had to go and make Pam and Tommy, and there was all this focus on Barb Wire and how Pamela Anderson thought it would launch her career, and it didn’t. So it made me curious. Then I noticed it on Showtime, so I did my “find this on the internet” thing since Showtime ignores accessibility for the moment, … Continue reading Barb Wire

Anything’s Possible

Where I Watched it: Amazon Description Provided By: Deluxe Narrated By: Marcia Bartenetti So, I posted my YouTube review of this before writing my review, and within two views I had already attracted someone whose sol purpose was to drop into the comments with some transphobic nonsense. Two. I had two views at the time, and the video had only been up for about 3 hours. So here I am, ready to write a review for a film I liked, not because I adore everything LGBT or Trans, but because the film itself is charming. Is it perfect? No. But, … Continue reading Anything’s Possible

The Gray Man

Where I Watched It: Netflix English Audio Description Available?: Yes Narration Written By: Dakota Green Narrated By: Bill Larson What happens when Netflix throws 200 million at a film? Never anything good. Seriously, please stop giving directors carte Blanche to overspend on crappy big budget star vehicles with little to no purpose. I like The Russo Brothers. I think what they managed to do with The Avengers is nothing short of extraordinary. But, when given the opportunity to go with a mostly original concept, they just churned out something so dull and familiar the only reason it stands out is … Continue reading The Gray Man

Blacklight

Well, sometimes I watch so many damn movies, I don’t always review them in the moments after. Truth be told, I have no information on who made this audio description. That could very well mean there wasn’t any announced at the end. After all, Blacklight is one of those films that just dies when released upon the world. I don’t even think it was given the same theatrical push as some of Neeson’s past recent works like Honest thief. I really believe people saw this, they knew it was terrible, and just dropped it onto VOD. no one even bothered … Continue reading Blacklight

We Die Young

Where I Watched It: Netflix English Audio Description Provided By: Zoo Digital Narrated By: Jackie Cruz One of those days I found myself browsing Netflix for the next big thing. The new hotness. I noticed this random film, We Die Young tht I never heard of, and i first checked to see if it had English Audio Description. Yes. Then I let it tell me what the movie was about, and after reading the plot summary, I got the top 3 actors, and actor #3 was jean Claude Van Damme. It’s been a minute since I last checked in on … Continue reading We Die Young

The Black Cauldron

Where I Watched It: Disney Plus Description Created By: WGBH Narrated By: Claudia Dunn The film that time forgot, and Disney was Ok with that. The Black Cauldron is more notorious than anything else, largely because it didn’t do well on its initial theatrical release, despite being from the house of mouse. It was their first foray into something more serious, a PG rated animation. I’ve seen almost every theatrically released Disney animation film, except Home On The Range and this… until now. I was more surprised than anything that Disney bothered to put this on Disney Plus. I was … Continue reading The Black Cauldron

The too Much TV Roundup- July 20th

It’s just one of those weird days where I reflect back on my list, and I didn’t expect this show to end up on top. Random assortments make things always more interesting. 1) We Own This City (HBO/HBO MAX) English Audio Description Available?: Yes This limited series came to a close, and while I ahven’t always been a fan to the point where this show has managed to top the list, or even get a top grade, it did so in its final hour, which wraps up all of its storylines in the most entertaining and meaningful fashion possible. This … Continue reading The too Much TV Roundup- July 20th

The Contractor

Where I Watched It: Look, the film is on Showtime, and I have a subscription. Did I have to “find” the audio description elsewhere? Sure. But, I technically have access to this film through my paid subscription to Showtime. English Audio Description Available?: Again, if you can find it. Description Provided By: Pixel Logic Narrated By: Laura Post What really is there to say about The Contractor? Not much. It’s a pretty generic paint-by-numbers action film that worked well for what it set out to achieve. Considering there are generations of people still watching films in the Sniper universe (a … Continue reading The Contractor

Vivarium

where I Watched It: Amazon English Audio Description Available?: Yes Description Provided by: SkyNet Yes, this film has audio description narrated by Terminators, and it’s not a bad film. ultimately, I’m going to recommend a film to you that has robodescription. I’m sorry about that. The truth is, Vivarium is a dish best served with as little knowledge as humanly possible. I chose this film due to the fact that the many film message board/groups I’m in, this title comes up as being “one of the scariest… EVER.” Ever is a bit of a stretch, but it’s creative and inventive … Continue reading Vivarium

Julia

Where i Watched It: HBO MAX English Audio Description Available?: Yes So, in case you are confused, because HBO MAX is currently running two different Julia things, both named Julia, this is the feature length documentary. Not the show that Sarah Lancashire missed out on an Emmy nomination for. Admittedly, sometimes i watch too much shit, and then older titles don’t get reviewed as quickly, and some of my thoughts fade. I watched this two weeks ago, and I had to rewatch my video review to get an understanding of what the hell I was going to talk about here. … Continue reading Julia
