Borderlands

John Stark

Borderlands- Eli Roth Was An Odd Choice For A PG-13 Version Quick Take: A lot has already been said about Lionsgate’s expensive foray into adapting Borderlands for the big screen. Not enough is being said about Lionsgate likely being the reason for the problem. Borderlands is a fun game, and it does have a story, which you advance through with the help of the most obnoxious sidekick in Claptrap.

I’ve long wanted a Left 4 Dead movie, especially with how many excellent horror directors there are … Continue reading Borderlands

Shark Tale: 20th Anniversary- Will Smith, Jack Black, Robert DeNiro, Renee Zellweger, Angelina Jolie Quick Take: I’m always surprised this didn’t become a franchise. After all, there are two Nut Job movies. Gnomeo and Juliet got a sequel. The Boss Baby had a sequel.

Po’s teammates, the furious voice cast of Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan, Seth Rogen, and David Cross are nowhere to be found. Is that a good thing? First up, this has audio description on Peacock. Oddly, the only entry in the franchise that currently resides on the service with AD. … Continue reading Kung Fu Panda 4

Where I Watched It: Peacock English Audio Description Provided By The Media Access Group Narrated By Leilani Jones Wilmore Wahoo! For all of us gamers who can claim to be among the first, fan service is headed our direction. Sure, there have been video game adaptations, but they typically suck. And for a lot of people who have wanted some of these legacy franchises like The Legend Of Zelda adapted somewhere. Now with the critical success of The Last Of Us on television, it could be even on TV. But, Illumination took the horns of Bowser and rode Nintendo’s flagship … Continue reading The Super Mario Bros Movie

John Stark

Featuring the voices of Jack Black, Glen Powell, and Zachary Levi. Directed By: Richard Linklater Where I Watched It: Netflix English Audio Description Available?: Yes The plot: A man narrates his childhood growing up in Houston, TX in 1969 around the time of the Apollo 11 mission. He may or may not have been recruited by NASA as a young boy for a super secret mission. What Works: Richard Linklater is nothing if not interesting. Even when he makes something I don’t care for, I still find his approach, his attempt to make human connections and stories, to be uniquely … Continue reading Apollo 10 1/2 A Space Age Childhood
