Flight Risk

John Stark

This is kind of a terrible film. it just is, on so many levels, and none of them have to do with the politics around director Mel Gibson. it’s impossible, truly, to look at this film, and watch Braveheart, and somehow think that Mel Gibson is directing anywhere near the competency level he had. Even The passion Of The Christ and Apocalypto are better made films than this. Flight Risk feels like a film that Renny Harlin might have made to try and revive his career. This film definitely has audio description, and I’d recommend it for all the odd … Continue reading Flight Risk

The Too Much TV Roundup- 10/07/23

John Stark

Your TV news for the day is that the upcoming 3rd season of Vikings: Valhalla will be its last. 11) The Continental (Peacock) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Limited Thank God this is behind me. I was so over this show. Mel Gibson really gave his all to an unredeemable villain, but as far as the rest goes, this feels nothing like the franchise from which it was adapted. it has so much dialogue, it almost feels like a more violent TV adaptation of oceans 11. Final Grade: C- 10) Trophy Wife (hulu) English Audio Description?: No Status: Ended The … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 10/07/23

The Too Much TV Roundup- 09/30/23

John Stark

Welcome to Spooky Season, where I will be stepping up your coverage of the scariest and spookiest films to watch this season. But for today, it’s just a regular old roundup. 14) The Continental (Peacock) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Limited From the minds of people who never watched the original John Wick franchise comes a boring show with little to no action sequences and more dialogue in one episode than in the entire John Wick universe. I hate this show. Episode Grade: D+ 13) The Summer I Turned Pretty (Amazon) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Renewed I’m not really … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 09/30/23

The Too Much TV Roundup- 09/23/23

John Stark

The studios claim they have made their best and final offer to the WGA,. After four days of negotiations, the two are scheduled to meet again today. I do believe this has to be ratified by the membership, so if there aren’t major concessions made by the studios it won’t pass. Writers haven’t been picketing for 5 months just so AI can start becoming a credited screenwriter. 11) The Continental (Peacock) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Limited I suppose its possible that if I had never seen the John Wick films, I might have enjoyed this. However, i have seen … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 09/23/23

Father Stu

John Stark

Where I Watched It: Netflix English Audio Description?: Yes Narrated By: Andrea Breton I definitely wanted to like whatever the heck Mark Wahlberg was trying to do here, but it’s so hard to figure out what he wanted to actually do. First, much like Redeeming Love that opened in January of this year, this is a perplexingly vulgar Christian movie. And let’s be honest. That’s what this is. It’s a mainstream film about a guy who does not live the best of lives, or take religion seriously, until deep into the film he is involved in an accident that should … Continue reading Father Stu

The Replacements (16 People Who Almost Snagged Iconic Roles)

John Stark

Just caught this article (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/24/ryan-gosling-hugh-jackman-drive_n_3328690.html?icid=maing-grid7|maing7|dl13|sec1_lnk3%26pLid%3D318270)  and felt like relaying that info here. Did you know that… Jim Carrey was originally considered for Pirates of the Caribbean, but it would have conflicted with Bruce Almighty. Hugh Jackman was originally supposed to be the Driver in Drive. Everyone knows Ryan Gosling has a bromance with the director. Jackman was only originally considered when Neil Marshall was tapped to direct the film. Sean Connery was originally offered the part of Gandalf in Lord Of The Rings. It would have been Connery’s last role, had he been forced to do all three Rings films. … Continue reading The Replacements (16 People Who Almost Snagged Iconic Roles)
