Paddington In Peru

John Stark

Paddington Bear, the cuddly marmalade powered manifestation of kindness returns for his third feature, this time exiting his home in the UK for a new locale in Paddington In Peru. Don’t worry, because even though his family, The browns, are also at a transitional point, they’ll be following him on his journey. Sadly, director Paul King is not returning as director for the third feature, so if you were expecting him to somehow top what he achieved in Paddington 2, he opted instead to direct Wonka. I don’t know if that puts us at a huge disadvantage, but the change … Continue reading Paddington In Peru

Journey To Bethlehem

John Stark

I gotta admit, I was expecting something else. i certainly wasn’t expecting this very odd musical that panders to everyone about the birth of Jesus. This movie seems catered to try and rope in teenagers who don’t go to church. The best part? It has audio description. readily accessible audio description. Other faith based films from 2023 like Jesus Revolution and Sound of Freedom hit streamers without their tracks, but this odd rock musical with Antonio Banderas as a jealous King had audio description day and date on Netflix. It is basically the story. It just has a very modern … Continue reading Journey To Bethlehem

Puss in Boots: the Last Wish

John Stark

Where I Watched it: peacock English Audio Description?: Yes I enjoyed the first Puss in Boots. After watching a ton of critics review this sequel, I was apparently the only one. But, even though I thought there was a possibility of spinning off Puss into his own film wouldn’t work, the original charmed me quite a bit. The biggest reason is likely the introduction of Salma Hayek’s terrific new foil for Puss, and even though the sequel threw out pretty much everything else about the first, it did keep her around. Smart move. The plot revolves around Puss realizing he’s … Continue reading Puss in Boots: the Last Wish

Play It To The Bone

John Stark

STARRING: Antonio Banderas, Woody Harrelson, Lolita Davidovich, Tom Sizemore, Lucy Liu, Robert Wagner WRITTEN BY: Ron Shelton DIRECTED BY: Ron Shelton I can’t believe this movie is 14 years old. Woody Harrelson looks exactly the same in this film as he does now. It’s startling to see that he really hasn’t aged much since then. Antonio Banderas has put on a few years, but not much, certainly not 14. In Play It To The Bone, both men are pegged as boxers who are really too old to still be doing this, yet are still looking for a second chance. While … Continue reading Play It To The Bone
