Josh Reviews Netflix’s Season Three of Black Mirror!
I adored the original six episodes made of the British TV show Black Mirror. Series creator Charlie Brooker had made a riveting modern/day Twilight Zone, with each episode a completely stand-alone installment presenting a look at the ways that technology has the potential to be terr
The Great Hellboy Re-Reading Project Part XIX: For Whom The Bell Tolls
And so, at last, we come to the end of my epic project to re-read Mike Mignola’s complete Hellboy saga! Click here for part one, in which I discussed the very first Hellboy tale: the four-part mini-series Seed of Destruction. Click here for part two, in which I discussed
Josh Reviews Westworld Season One!
I’m a little bit behind on all of my TV watching. In this era of Peak TV, there is so much great television to watch that I find it hard to keep up! Being a fan both of sci-fi and HBO, I was of course hugely excited last year as I read about the development […]
Days of De Palma (Part 19): Passion (2012)
I am excited to have finally arrived at the end of my journey through the filmography of master director Brian De Palma. (Well, the end for now – Mr. De Palma is alive and well, and hopefully has additional films in his future!) 2007’s Redacted was a rough watch —

“Evil Wears Every Possible Mitten” — Josh Reviews Amazon’s The Tick!
I’ve been a fan of Ben Edlund’s wonderful superhero parody, The Tick, since (almost) the very beginning. Friends in high school turned me on to the wonderful black-and-white comic, published by New England Comics, soon after those early issues were published in the late
Josh Reviews Rogue One!
Let me get this out right at the top: Rogue One is better than The Force Awakens. For those looking for a spoiler-free review, there you go. For everyone else, buckle in, let’s go! I have for years been dreaming of seeing a brand new Star Wars film on the big screen that I could
Josh Reviews Office Christmas Party
Josh (Jason Bateman) helps run the Chicago-based branch of a tech company, Zenotech, overseen by his friend Clay (T.J. Miller). The branch is doing OK, but Clay’s rivalry with his sister Carol (Jennifer Aniston), just appointed as the company’s C.E.O., leads her to threa
Josh Reviews Allied
For a long time, Robert Zemeckis was one of my very favorite filmmakers. There was a phenomenal stretch during which I felt that he was making movies that were aimed directly at me, at the exact things that I most loved. Back to the Future, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Contact…
Days of De Palma (Part 18): Redacted (2007)
We’ve arrived at the peunltimate installment of my journey through the films of Brian De Palma! (Links to all of my reviews can be found at the bottom of this post.) Though Mr. De Palma’s output has slowed considerably over the last two decades, he quickly followed up
