Creed 3

John Stark

Where I Watched It: Amazon English Audio Description?: Yes i had heard some truly terrific things about Creed 3 heading into my chance to see it, so the bar was high. I didn’t factor Jonathan Majors personal life into the film, because movies are a collection of the work of hundreds of people, and we have to stop doing that. There are plenty of people who do stunts, costumes, sound design, set design, and hell, just plain old production assistant work, who deserve to show their job to the world without everyone feeling like they can’t watch it because of … Continue reading Creed 3

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

Thor: Love and Thunder

John Stark

Where I Watched It: Disney Plus English Audio Description?: Yes The first thing you need to know about me is that going in, I’m a huge Thor Ragnarok fan. It is very much one of my favorite Marvel films ever. What Taika managed to do with a franchise that was laid to rest with The Dark World is amazing. Some people thought he turned Thor into a joke, and I think he really gave a breath of life into a character whose first two films left people rather tepid. So, I was predisposed to love this film. I have yet … Continue reading Thor: Love and Thunder

The Too Much TV Roundup- August 9th

John Stark

You know? This was a pretty good day in terms of television watching. Shows that had previously started to let me down have seemingly course corrected. 1) Breeders (FX/Hulu) English Audio Description Available?: no I generally really do try and make sure the show on top is an audio described title, which makes this all the more frustrating. but I swear, Breeders feels at times like it might just be the best show on TV. It certainly is the best one that no one ever seems to be talking about. In No more part 1, we are dealing with the … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- August 9th

The Best Of 2021

John Stark

With the Oscar’s swiftly approaching, and my Oscar final predictions released yesterday, it’s finally time to discuss who i think actually should have been nominated in the major categories, and who I would vote to win. This list will be completely different than the Oscar list, because I am just myself, I have no guild or board of people to mess up my nomination process, and my awards mean nothing. No actor is sitting out there waiting with bated breath to see if they will be included on Mac The Movieguy’s Best of 2021. Which is great for me, because … Continue reading The Best Of 2021
