Tango And Cash: 35th Anniversary

John Stark

Tango And Cash: 35th Anniversary- Sylvester Stallone + Kurt Russell = Lethal Weapons Quick Take: The 80’s knew how to make fun action films. We’ve confused many of them with being technically proficient, or film classics, but truthfully is there a difference between a fil that seems to have achieved a high level of filmmaking, or a film that achieved a high level of entertainment value, and has proven rewatchable as a result? Lethal Weapon and Beverly Hills Cop certainly come to mind, but the 80’s was full of fun buddy cop movies, including Tango And Cash. This Sylvester Stallone … Continue reading Tango And Cash: 35th Anniversary

The Expendables 4

John Stark

Where I Watched It: Digital Copy English Audio Description provided By: Deluxe Narrated By: Laura Post Cast: Jason Statham, Sylvester Stallone, Megan Fox, Andy Garcia, Randy Couture, Dolph Lundgren, Tony Jaa, and Curtis “50 Cent’ Jackson The dreaded 4th entry that bombed at the box office, and has been appearing on several “Worst of” lists. Just wait for the Razzies.Good news for these long in the tooth action stars. I can’t see how bad the visual effects are and if the fight choreography sucks. So, I’m all about the story, the characters, and… even that stuff wasn’t that good. However, … Continue reading The Expendables 4

Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 3

John Stark

Where I Watched it: Disney Plus English Audio Description?: Yes Narrated By: Laura Post There is something rather refreshing about watching a film after all the major critics who get screenings have had their say. Will I agree? Or, will I push back? I think Guardians on their final outing was mostly well received, and i agree with that. There’s something kinda disrespectful about Bob iger taking to platforms to claim the doom and gloom, and following some of the clickbait YouTubers who think Disney is broken. if anything, Guardians Vol 3 proves that Marvel isn’t broken, and Disney Plus … Continue reading Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 3

The Too Much TV Roundup- 07/12/23

John Stark

Yesterday was insane. Emmy nominations. Next year, i will start predicting bonkers choices just to match these Emmy voters. And, it was the last day of Prime day! What useless crap did you buy? Also, the SAg extension ended, which should mean the actors are on strike. i haven’t seen that officially, but that’s generally what means when a deadline passes. Considering I’ve heard the studios have no plans to negotiate with the WGA, and hopes to make them all poor so the writers will cave, I’m hoping the SAG strikes too. We need writers. Most of them. I know … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 07/12/23

The Too Much TV Roundup- 07/05/23

John Stark

By the way, there’s never been a better time to catch up on a show. If there’s something you didn’t watch initially, and were worried you’d never catch up on, the writers strike and possible actors strike will mean a lot of shows that would have returned in September, won’t be. 13) The Family Stallone (Paramount Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Renewed It’s just not my type of show. Even with Sly in it. I just don’t get this brand of programming. So, while I’m not mad at this show, I’ll be freeing up a slot in my weekly … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 07/05/23

The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/29/23

John Stark

After The Other Two dropped their big bomb yesterday, Reservation Dogs followed them with the exact same announcement, that the 3rd season will be it’s last. I remember when most shows wanted to hit season 4 because it put syndication into play, but with shows no longer running 22 episode seasons, there’s no need for that. Reservation Dogs would need nine seasons to get to that point. Also, ABC is sticking with Home Economics a little bit longer. A huge show of good faith, the network has extended the contracts for the cast while waiting decision on a renewal. I … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/29/23

I happened to stumble on a show I’ve been checking semi-frequently on audio description, and I found out that Yellowjackets (Season 1) now has AD. this was a show I had started, but didn’t finish. I’m starting over on it. See where it landed in the rankings below. 13) The Family Stallone (Paramount Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Renewed If Sly wasn’t in this, I wouldn’t watch it. There was one with some of the members of Clint Eastwood’s family a while back, and i didn’t care, because the main reason wasn’t in it.

Creed 2

John Stark

Where I Watched it: HBo MAX English Audio description Provided By: Deluxe Narrated By: Ron Snow not my first time on this film. But, with Creed 3, I wanted to go back around to the other Creed films and take a good hard look at them. I actually think I saw this without audio description the first time around, and now I’m getting the wonderful narration from Ron Snow that really is important to a boxing drama. This is definitely a genre that needs audio description, because even with the best sound design, and the most obvious dialogue, the fight … Continue reading Creed 2

Creed

John Stark

Where I Watched It: HBo MAX English Audio Description Provided By: Deluxe Narrated By: Ron Snow Another film that I saw when i could see, and now am rewatching for the first time with audio description. Creed is just an excellent movie. I’m not that big of a Rocky fan, and what Ryan Coogler has brought to Creed seems like the organic next step in the evolution of the franchise. When we last saw Rocky, he was dealing a lot with his son, and now he’s even older and wiser, and Adonis Creed is looking for a fight. The movie … Continue reading Creed

Samaritan

John Stark

Where i Watched it: Amazon Description Provided By: Deluxe Narrated By: William michael Redmond in the grand tradition of superhero movies, Sylvester Stallone is finally taking his stab at this genre. His long awaited attempt at a… oh, you mean he’s already done a comic book film before? Oh, he’s done multiple? Well then. I guess he’s addicted to being a hero. Samaritan feels very 90’s, in the way that we used to have these films where a major star would team up with a kid, but ultimately the forward motion of the film was provided mostly by the kid, … Continue reading Samaritan
