His Three Daughters

John Stark

This is one of Netflix’s lower priority Oscar contenders. You can tell, because the release date for this is shit. Plus, they have the already anointed Emilia Perez, which is considered by basically everyone to be a lock for nominations, as well as Maria (with potential nominee Angelina Jolie), and The Piano lesson (with likely nominee Danielle Detweiler). Their strongest contender here is the biggest reason to see the film, and instead of running all of the daughters in supporting, they ran natasha Lyonne in lead. Dammit. This is just a depressing film from start to finish. It feels like … Continue reading His Three Daughters

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire

John Stark

Theoretically, there is life in a franchise like ghostbusters, as the concept is pretty basic. Four guys with varying personalities use their ghost hunting tech to save the world. But, this has been really hard to pull off. Even Ghostbusters II, featuring the original cast lacks a little bit of that magic. I actually liked the remake with the ladies, but most people don’t. Then, Ghostbusters: Afterlife had fun with blending the old and new, and riding that nostalgia train. Fine. But what do you do next? inexplicably, everyone seemed to move to the Big Apple. They were all out … Continue reading Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire

The Small Screen Diaries- 01/02/2024

John Stark

Slowly moving into 2024, I’m getting closer and closer to finishing some series. One of those I’m close on is Fellow Travelers (Paramount Plus with Showtime), the excellent drama starring Matt Bomer and Jonathan Bailey as two men inexplicably forever linked through the passage of time. The latest episode I watched dealt with the murder of Harvey Milk, and that someone tried to blame their mental state on Twinkies. The jury actually had to deliberate for more than 5 minutes on that one, which highlights the absurdity of the period. But, Bomer was excellent as it turned out he was … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries- 01/02/2024

Boston Strangler

John Stark

Where I Watched it: hulu English Audio Description By Descriptive Video Service Written By Joel Beacon Heading into this, I did have thoughts. Why is this a March Hulu release? Why wasn’t this given a theatrical push? But, David Fincher’s criminally underrated Zodiac was also a March release, and also the besst comparison I could come up with. Both films explore a killer that might have eluded the police entirely, and still puzzle true crime buffs to this day. Who was the Boston Strangler? Will you believe what this movie has to say? The star here is Keira Knightley, who … Continue reading Boston Strangler
