The Nun 2

John Stark

Where I Watched It: MAX English Audio Description provided By: Deluxe Narrated By: William Michael Redman Welcome to the sequel to the prequel which is a spinoff of a character featured in the sequel to The Conjuring. And they say Hollywood has run out of ideas. Pish posh. After the riveting terror of the first Nun film, I can understand why we are continuing with Taissa Farmiga, despite that Demian Bichir really did tremendous work in the first film. She’s likely asking for less money. And, with the money that they saved, they can offer a spot to Storm Reid, … Continue reading The Nun 2

The Nun

John Stark

Where I Watched it: MAX English Audio Description?: Yes For some reason, MAX hosts the entire Conjuring universe with audio description except Annabelle, and this doesn’t seem to strike them as odd? That meant when a sequel to The nun was scheduled to drop, i was able to check out the first film, which starred Demian Bichir and Taissa Farmiga. Now, that first name is deeply underrated in Hollywood. I know this franchise becomes all about farmiga’s novitiate and it’s such a cool juxtaposition because her big sister is the lead in The Conjuring films, but bichir is great in … Continue reading The Nun

10 Spooky Movies On MAX For Your halloween

John Stark

My second streaming service to get the treatment this year. I did Peacock last weekend, and now MAX. I plan on trying to fill the list with films that have audio description, but if i can’t hit 10 titles, I will fill in at the end, with some great movies that don’t have audio description but probably should. Just because I didn’t list it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. There are films on the service that would qualify that I haven’t seen (still waiting for HBO to put audio description on the first Annabelle before i watch the sequels), as … Continue reading 10 Spooky Movies On MAX For Your halloween

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

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

Box Office Predictions: 5/31-6/2- ‘Earth’ battles for the top spot

John Stark

1) Fast and Furious 6- 45M weekend, 200M total The franchise has been getting pretty good buzz. With such a huge opening, it’s almost impossible to not drop at least in half, which would leave it with about 45M this weekend, probably edging out After Earth and getting to keep the crown for a second weekend. 2) After Earth- 40M weekend Will Smith is still a pretty huge draw in terms of box office. Last summer’s Men In Black 3 opened to 54M, Hancock did 62M, and I Am Legend did 77M. Granted, his box office has been slipping a … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: 5/31-6/2- ‘Earth’ battles for the top spot
