Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom

John Stark

There was a little conversation around making a film in a studio system with influence, and how Madame Webb likely had a solid creative team but Sony interfered and made shit. That conversation, for some reason, did not happen for Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom, a film do inconsequential, Warner Bros opened it the same weekend as two other Warner Bros titles (Wonka and The color Purple). Had they believed this sequel had gas in the tank, doing so for three recognizable franchise films over Christmas is insane. Even in a slower market affected by the strike, you are still … Continue reading Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom

Insidious: The Red Door

John Stark

Where I Watched It: Netflix English Audio Description?: Yes The Insidious franchise is something I’m not really familiar with. i did actually try to get caught up, but at the time, insidious was on MAX, and did not have audio description. Even with that, I did try to watch the first film so I could at least have some context. Obviously, a film full of nightmares and jump scares just doesn’t play well without audio description. Back when i could see, I do remember seeing stills of that Darth Maul looking creature, so I assume everything is just that. But, … Continue reading Insidious: The Red Door

The Conjuring: the Devil Made Me Do it

John Stark

Where I Watched It: HBo MAX English Audio Description?: Yes Narrated By: Tanzi Alexander Well, this series takes a sharp decline fast. This one does not care about building any kind of suspense. I’m not even sure it sets up a potential spin-off character like the Nun or Annabelle. it just kind of prolongs the franchise, and makes a cash grab. True, the second and third entries have better audio description, because this actually understands it’s a horror film and tries to translate what is scary about something into the description. It’s just, i didn’t find this film Scary. We … Continue reading The Conjuring: the Devil Made Me Do it

The Conjuring 2

John Stark

Where I Watched It: HBo MAX Audio Description Provided By: Deluxe Narrated By: Tanzi Alexander Well, I’m making my way through this franchise. Finally. Halloween gives me the opportunity to catch up on horror titles i either avoided or missed. After being pleasantly surprised with the direction James Wan went with the first Conjuring film, I figured I was in store for more of the same. Not really. The first film worked so well because no one really knew what to be ready for, or what was ahead. He held the audiences anticipation, making you wait almost uncomfortably long for … Continue reading The Conjuring 2

The Conjuring

John Stark

Where I Watched It: HBO MAX English Audio Description?: Yes When i set out to start some Halloween reviews, I landed on The Conjuring. Not only had the franchise become wildly successful, putting out two sequels (so far), but it spun off Annabelle (which also has two sequels), and The nun (which has a sequel on the way). I figured this would be a good start, especially considering its influence, and how many films have tried to recreate this magic since. Originally, I stayed away because I presumed the film was nothing but jump scares. James Wan (Saw) has never … Continue reading The Conjuring
