Spaceman

John Stark

I remember last year seeing this film floating on some early Oscar lists. The guy who directed HBO’s excellent Chernobyl series was doing a drama with Adam Sandler, Carey Mulligan, Paul Dañó, and Isabella Rossellini. I was pretty hyped, and I had Sandler in my early Top 20. That was, of course, before Netflix pushed this to 2024. That’s OK, plenty of films have shifted before. Just last year, Killers Of The Flower Moon and The Holdovers got Oscar nominations after being shifted from the previous year. Then, March. Netflix decided on March. It’s Ok. So maybe not an Oscar … Continue reading Spaceman

You Are So not Invited To My Bat mitzvah

John Stark

where I Watched It: Netflix English Audio Description Provided By International Digital center Written and Narrated By Kathlyn Finn Girls just wanna have great movies. In a year where women have successfully been represented boldly and perfectly in movies like Are you There God? It’s Me Margaret and the current reigning box office champ Barbie, it would be nice if Netflix rounded the circle with their own contribution. They didn’t completely miss the boat, but I can’t say this didn’t fall short. The film is based on a YA book of the same name that features two Jewish girls both … Continue reading You Are So not Invited To My Bat mitzvah

Murder Mystery 2

John Stark

Where I Watched It: Netflix English Audio Description?: Yes For some reason, Adam Sandler feels like that one actor whose entire filmography I’ve consumed. From the lowest of lows, like Hewbie Halloween and Little Nicky to underrated gems like Reign Over me and The Meyerowitz Stories, to my favorites like Big Daddy and happy Gilmore, I reliably show up. Whether it’s a Netflix original, a Grown ups sequel, or an attempt at more dramatic fare, I’ve seen this guys entire filmography. The first Murder Mystery was fine. This one is a little less so. Now that doesn’t mean that it’s … Continue reading Murder Mystery 2
