10 Things I Hate About you: 25th Anniversary

John Stark

10 Things I Hate About You: 25th Anniversary- Julia Stiles, Heath ledger, Joseph Gordon-Levitt Quick Take: I got this once during a sale in the Apple Store, because it had audio description, and it was on sale. I’m not remotely objective here. There’s no critical consensus. I was in high school when this came out, and my nostalgia is too strong. This is a desert island movie for me, easily qualifying with a totally view count somewhere between 10-15 times in my life. I own this on DVD, but sadly, despite the medium supporting multiple audio tracks, no one was … Continue reading 10 Things I Hate About you: 25th Anniversary

Space Cadet

John Stark

Emma Robert’s press tour for this was a nightmare. It’s never good to go out and talk about how film criticism has devolved before your film comes out, because it hasn’t. There are just more film critics. I can promise Emma, that if we went back to the simpler times, with eight critics as she remembers (which never happened in her lifetime), her Rotten Tomato score would still be zero. I look at this, and I wonder what Emma saw in it to defend it so much. The movie is based around a young woman (Robert’s) who once was super … Continue reading Space Cadet

The Perfect Find

John Stark

Where I Watched it: Netflix English Audio Description provided by: Descriptive Video Works Narrated By Clement Chow Recently, I mentioned that I enjoy Gabrielle union. In my 40 Favorite Actors list, I had some honorable mentions, and Union was there. What I was going off was the idea that a certain person has the ability to draw me into a film, and how strong that pull is. Does it need to be combined with anyone else? Here, Union does have the pleasure of sharing the screen with Gina Torres, who I also adore, but this is Union’s film. Here we … Continue reading The Perfect Find

The Inspection

John Stark

Where I Watched it: Apple VOD English Audio Description Provided By Deluxe Narrated By Michelle Deco Jeremy Pope’s awards run seemed to begin and end with his nomination at the Golden Globes, something I thought for sure would result in more attention. I was a little surprised that we ended up with a giant marshmallow of whiteness in the Best Actor block at the Oscars, but after seeing Jeremy Pope’s performance… I kinda understand why he missed the cut. The Inspection, is based on a true story, or at least a real person, and that makes it hard for me … Continue reading The Inspection

Strange World

John Stark

Where i Watched It: Disney plus English Audio Description Provided By: Deluxe Narrated By: Nicole Sansorella I basically live in a world where I just consume media, like a critic, whether I care about the film or not. I do draw the line every once in a while, like I have no intention of ever reviewing Terrifier 2, but I try my hardest to walk in with an open mind every time. I gotta say, i walked into Strange World assuming it sucked. It’s not the same way i chose Turning Red earlier this year, where I saw it immediately … Continue reading Strange World
