A Complete Unknown

A Complete Unknown- Timmy’s Best Work Since Beautiful Boy Quick Take: As part of my screener bonanza, I received A Complete Unknown without audio description. So, this review is my first thoughts on the film, but by no means my final thoughts. It was enough to give me a taste, and to have some idea of whether or not this film has actors in winning performances. If we’re being honest, that’s why most people are here, to see Timothee Chalamet play Bob Dylan. How good is he? How close does he look to the part? The funny thing about being … Continue reading A Complete Unknown

Night Bitch- Amy Adams is The Most Relatable Mother Of 2024 Quick Take: I’m really just catching up in order, and now that this is on Hulu, I was ready to skip my first thoughts, and wait till I get to my inevitable second look with audio description. However, Disney had other plans. They dropped Night Bitch on Hulu without giving a consideration to making sure the necessary audio description was also day and date. It is funny how many times this has happened, and Disney never really apologizes, or improves. And, yes, Hulu, Fox Searchlight, they are Disney brands. … Continue reading Night Bitch

Where I Watched It: Netflix English Audio Description?: Yes I’ve seen this film compared to Paddington, but honestly that’s just disrespectful to Paddington. I suppose because both films originated as kids books, and Lyle is beloved somewhere, but Paddington and its sequel are actually good films. hell, even Clifford The Big Red Dog has a narrative that isn’t gibberish. This thing is awful. From the minute Javier Bardem starts the film as a failed magician, and there’s a bout of singing, I know I’m in for something. But when Shaun Mendes steps in to autotune Lyle, it seems like a … Continue reading Lyle Lyle Crocodile

Where I Watched It: Netflix Audio description Provided By: Post Haste Digital Written By William McDonaugh Narrated By: Kaitlyn Elizabeth You are going to read a lot of viewpoints out there on the internet from a dozen sources about Blonde. It will be remembered as one of the most divisive film of the year. My review might contain some spoilers, but only to refer to specific content within the film. Since Blonde was released, until my writing of this review, I’ve marinated a lot. I’ve seen reactions, and most of them have been incredibly negative, but everyone has a point. … Continue reading Blonde

C’Mon C’Mon

John Stark

Starring: Joaquin Phoenix, Woody Norman, Gaby Hoffman, and Scoot McNairy. Directed By: Mike Mills Where I Watched It: Apple VOD English Audio Description Available?: Yes The Plot: A radio journalist (Phoenix) is asked to look after his nephew (Norman) for a short period of time, and the two explore other parts of America together, as well as each other’s thoughts. What Works: A film like this always hinges on just how good the child actor is. And, I’m proud to report that Woody Norman is exceptional. I don’t think I’ve seen a performance this good in a movie since Jacob … Continue reading C’Mon C’Mon
