Mr Holland’s Opus

John Stark

I often find myself tackling new releases, and I rarely ever have the time to come back around to a classic, or a favorite of mine. So, for my birthday, as a gift to myself, as the first birthday being on the TomatoMeter, I wanted to review a film I love. I think all critics have a few films that fall off the beaten path of typical classic fare, which are films that just hit them in the right way, and maybe not the same for everyone. I often cut to the chase nowadays and say my favorite film is … Continue reading Mr Holland’s Opus

John Stark

Where I Watched It: AMC Plus English Audio Description?: no I do still watch AMC Plus films and shows from time to time, because I have a subscription.

They have almost no audio description, but in my initial conversations with their customer service reps, I was told they were expanding their audio description offerings, and would be revamping the app to make it work better with screen readers. Neither of those things have happened. Their big new movie releases seem to always lack audio … Continue reading Murder At Yellowstone City
