The Electric State

John Stark

The Electric State (Netflix)- Millie Bobby Brown, Chris Pratt, Stanley Tucci, Anthony Mackie Years ago I remember when Robopocalypse was being kicked around as a potential summer blockbuster, based on a best-selling novel. I believe Spielberg was actually interested at one time, but likely became more interested in ready Player One. Sometimes it is a blessing in disguise to not have your book turned into a film. I loved the ready Player One book, but not the film. Robopocalypse likely dodged a bullet. What didn’t dodge the bullet is the Electric State. While I have not read the source material, … Continue reading The Electric State

the Last Voyage Of The Demeter

John Stark

I think more people should take a small section out of other novels and adapt them into their own movies. It is a banner idea. It could mean that all the deleted Quidditch stuff in Goblet Of Fire could make for its own film. Yeah, I said it. But, in the meantime, let’s talk about that one time Dracula was on a boat, and it’s not a cool Saturday Night Live song either. This was surprisingly good, despite the premise. from the very beginning, we see the titular ship floating to land, and someone goes to inspect and finds everyone … Continue reading the Last Voyage Of The Demeter

Cobweb

John Stark

Where I Watched it: Hulu English Audio Description?: No I was really looking forward to this, as the other critics I admire who saw this theatrically in July were mostly positive. Sadly, Cobweb was relegated to Hulu, where the great minds decided not to pursue acquiring an audio description track. So, sadly, this is from the perspective of a blind critic forced to watch this without accessibility, which is another reason studios should add me to their screener mailing list. How can I praise a horror movie if I don’t know what’s horrifying about it? My instinct would be to … Continue reading Cobweb

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

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
