Hypnotic

John Stark

Where I Watched It: Peacock English Audio Description?: Yes I think Robert Rodriguez has spent the last 13 years working toward trying to make his own inception. The once iconic director has lost a lot of luster recently, which is made very clear by the middling attention Hypnotic received, and the fact that he’s now remaking his own franchise with a new Spy Kids movie at Netflix later this month. We open on a detective (Affleck), who is in the middle of a therapy session. It seems to go well, and he leaves and meets up with his partner (JD … Continue reading Hypnotic

The Flash

John Stark

Where I Watched It: MAX English Audio Description?: Yes now that the maligned Flash project is on MAX, we can all make up our own opinions. Good news for the filmmakers in that I won’t be commenting on what I understand to be not very impressive visual effects. I also believe that despite how you feel about one person in a film, there are hundreds of people trying to make this art, and we need to be able to separate ourselves sometimes. So, Ezra is getting a clean slate for the purposes of this review. I also am a nerd, … Continue reading The Flash

Air

John Stark

Where I Watched it: Amazon English Audio Description Provided By: Media Access Group Narrated by: Inger Tudor Generally by the time I get around to the print versions of my reviews, I’m always a little bit behind my YouTube channel. It’s just so much easier to record and upload, than to construct my thoughts while fighting aggressive auto-correct, and a screen reader that often reads a word that sounds so much like the word I meant to use. But, even with the few more 2023 films I’ve seen since Air, it’s still at number one for me for the year. … Continue reading Air

The Best Of 2021

John Stark

With the Oscar’s swiftly approaching, and my Oscar final predictions released yesterday, it’s finally time to discuss who i think actually should have been nominated in the major categories, and who I would vote to win. This list will be completely different than the Oscar list, because I am just myself, I have no guild or board of people to mess up my nomination process, and my awards mean nothing. No actor is sitting out there waiting with bated breath to see if they will be included on Mac The Movieguy’s Best of 2021. Which is great for me, because … Continue reading The Best Of 2021
