September seems to be the season when Netflix clears out most of what it doesn’t really intend on having as its high-profile Oscar contenders. Even one of its better offerings that kicked off awards season a few years ago, Fair Play, still ended up not making much of an impact in the awards race despite being generally well liked. Well, we won’t have that problem with Unabomber, because I can’t imagine critics piling onto this movie. It’s deeply unsatisfying, aimless, and rather pointless. It’s a film that isn’t sure what its structure should be, how much of either story it … Continue reading unabomber

Orion And The Dark

I would have liked this concept to go to basically anyone but who actually made this. Arguably, even Dreamworks knows they didn’t stick the landing, which is why you are just now hearing about this as a Netflix original. It’s Dreamworks Animation. This is the same parent company that was more than happy releasing Ruby Gilman Teenage Kraken last year, and had no problem putting Megamind Vs The Doom Syndicate straight to Peacock. Meanwhile, they ditched this. Joke is on them, because it is better than that Megamind sequel (more on that in its own review). Orion and the Dark … Continue reading Orion And The Dark

The Little Mermaid (2023)

Where I Watched it: Disney Plus English Audio Description Provided By Deluxe Narrated By Michelle Deco When i was a little boy, I knew that you don’t reprimand your daughters. After all, that is Ariel’s big wish, among wanting to be part of a world that is foreign to her, and kids often look at worlds foreign to them and dream of one day being an astronaut, a superhero, a princess, or simply old enough to stay up past 8PM. The animated classic is often credited for saving Disney animation, and bringing the Disney musical into a whole new world. … Continue reading The Little Mermaid (2023)

My Father’s Dragon

Where I Watched It: Netflix Audio Description Provided By: Deluxe Written By: Andrea Mozerella Narrated By: Laura Post We are going to need to not nominate this one for an Oscar this year. If we could just not, that’d be great. When i first heard of this, I saw a critic asking fans what their favorite Cartoon Saloon film was, and i didn’t get the name recognition. I watched the film, and still didn’t care. Since then, I now know they are the Irish animation studio behind The Secret Of Kells. This animated offering has a stacked voice cast. Jacob … Continue reading My Father’s Dragon
