The Equalizer 3

John Stark

I don’t know why this is the one film Denzel Washington feels emotionally attached to that he keeps making sequels. The first film was fine. Gritty, he kicked ass, and equalized. Now, somehow he’s in Europe protecting Dakota Fanning and some Italians, and I’m really not sure how we got here. It’s like they are trying to apply the rule of John Wick to the Equalizer, but he works much better as a Luke Cage figure, who defends his own neighborhood than going global. Wick needed to stop a global organization, I’m not sure that fits here. Still, the first … Continue reading The Equalizer 3

Emancipation

John Stark

Where I Watched It: Apple Plus English Audio Description Provided By: Pixel Logic Narrated By: Tanzi Alexander My review of Emancipation has no bearing in what occurred at last year’s Oscars. I am completely able to compartmentalize and not let things that do not have anything to do with this film, and the hundreds of people who worked on it, affect my enjoyment or lack thereof. Will Smith does not set the release dates for his films, nor does he choose whether or not to launch Oscar campaigns. If you find Will Smith to be too problematic to watch this … Continue reading Emancipation

Sometimes, it takes time. 1) Only Murders In The building (Hulu) English Audio Description: Yes The winner today was everyone’s favorite gang of podcasters, who continue to try and solve the mystery of why they are being framed. but, it was the injection of some heavy hitting guest stars that sent this episode over the top, from Tina Fey’s unnecessarily cutthroat rival caster, Jane Lynch’s always welcome return as the one time stunt double, Amy Ryan’s deliciously evil killer, or Michael Rappaport’s exhausted lead … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- August 14th

Infinite

John Stark

Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Jason Mantzoukas, Sophie Cookson, Dylan O’Brien, Rupert Friend, and Toby jones. Directed By: Antoine Fuqua Where i Watched It: Paramount Plus English Audio Description Available?: Yes The Plot: In this cinematic world, reincarnation is a thing, and there are people who refer to themselves as “infinites”, who when they die are immediately reincarnated, and have found a way to regain at least parts of their memory. Except for Mark Wahlberg, because he needs to act confused and ask a lot of questions, so this movie can have a lot of exposition. Inexplicably, Chiwetel Ejiofor signed … Continue reading Infinite

Tears Of The Sun

John Stark

STARRING: Bruce Willis, Monica Bellucci, Cole Hauser, Johnny Messner, Tom Skerritt, Nick Chinlund, Eamonn Walker WRITTEN BY: Alex Lasker and Patrick Cirillo DIRECTED BY: Antoine Fuqua There are war movies that document the historic battles and remind us of the times in our past that have created the present we love and know. There are other war movies that are basically just action movies masquerading as war movies. This is one of those movies. Nothing historic, just a fake battle between our American soldiers and some rebel forces, and there are some people who need some saving. Oh, and, Bruce … Continue reading Tears Of The Sun
