Batman Begins

John Stark

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

Interstellar

John Stark

Where I Watched it: Amazon English Audio Description Provided By Deluxe Narrated By Tanzi Alexander I actually started rewatching all of Nolan’s films this year when I was asked to be a guest on a podcast, so I could discuss how Nolan’s films are great, and how they translate in terms of audio description. Since I’ve only been blind for the past six years, it means most of his catalog was available to me in their initial runs visually. So, I’ve seen interstellar, and I’m fairly certain a deep dive on my site will reveal my initial thoughts. I remember … Continue reading Interstellar

40 For 40: Part 2

John Stark

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

John Stark

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

Movie Review: Now You See Me

John Stark

STARRING: Mark Ruffalo, Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco, Morgan Freeman, Melanie Laurent, Michael Caine, Michael Kelly, Common WRITTEN BY: Ed Solomon and Boaz Yakin DIRECTED BY: Louis Leterrier From the Director of Clash Of The Titans is not really a good way to entice people into thinking your movie is intelligent. I really enjoyed the trailers to Now You See Me, and thought it might be a sleeper hit of the summer. Then, some reviews trickled in, and it seemed like a truly divisive movie. Love It Or Hate It. The film now sits at a lowsy … Continue reading Movie Review: Now You See Me
