Batman Begins

Where I Watched it: MAX English Audio Description?: Yes I mean, technically where I watched it was in a theatre 18 years ago, but where I watched it for the first time with audio description was on MAX. I watched this series completely out of order, using both The Dark knight and The Dark Knight Rises as being part of my favorite films of all time, so why not Batman begins? The problem with Batman begins is that Christopher nolan made more Batman films. It’s like if the model T was the only car anyone ever knew, it would seem … Continue reading Batman Begins

Dunkirk (A Second look)

Where I Watched it: MAX English Audio Description?: Yes Written By: Matthew Vickers Narrated By Helen Beatty I’ve already seen Dunkirk once before this, before I lost my vision. it was a stunning work. not only does nolan not believe in terrifying his audience through graphic violence, but for the most part he chose mostly fresh faces for this film, where his movies are usually loaded with stars. The biggest names are largely in supporting roles, and the leads are young faces to become attached to, including a young Harry Styles breaking into acting, as well as a pre-Oscar nomination … Continue reading Dunkirk (A Second look)

Oppenheimer

Where I Watched it: In Theatres (Regal) English Audio Description?: Yes Narrated By: Laura Post Well, that was an experience. For those of you who notice I do not review content while in theatres a lot anymore might catch, I actually went for Oppenheimer. mostly because i am an invited guest on a podcast I’m recording next week, and i was specifically asked to watch Oppenheimer. Not only did I need multiple headset replacements, but the headset audio quality sounded like laura Post was talking to me from beyond the grave. I get better quality and consistency at home. I … Continue reading Oppenheimer

40 For 40: Part 2

Keeping in line with my 40th birthday this year, here is the second list of films I watched. I’m trying to cast a wide net and bring in multiple streamers, but peacock refuses to host audio description for Universal titles not made in the last 3 years. So just like the first ten, one of these does not have audio description. This list spans films I saw over June and July, so it is possible that some have left the service listed. While there are numbers, this is not a rank of my favorites from best to worst, but rather … Continue reading 40 For 40: Part 2

Tenant

Where I Watched It: HBo MAX English Audio Description Provided By: Deluxe Narrated By: Jedidiah Barton I’m a big fan of Christopher Nolan, and Tenant was on my must watch list. but I knew better than to even attempt this without audio description. And while I’m willing to do that with 99% of the films I watch, Chris Nolan is someone I don’t mess around with. Some of my favorite films, we’re talking top 100, are directed by him. Certainly The Dark knight, which stands on top of everything for me, but I have a feeling inception and Memento would … Continue reading Tenant
