Josh Reviews A Quiet Place: Day One
A Quiet Place: Day One is a prequel to the two A Quiet Place films, showing us what happened on the first day when the aliens who menaced John Krasinski & Emily Blunt’s family first arrived on planet Earth. The story focuses on Samira (Lupita Nyong’o), a young woman in hos
Josh Reviews The Naboo Movie
I’ll be back here soon with my detailed thoughts on The Acolyte, the latest Star Wars TV show, which just wrapped up this week. I also still have to finish and post my review of The Bad Batch season three. But the Star Wars thing I’m most excited to tell you all about
Josh Reviews Furiosa
Mad Max: Fury Road is one of my all-time favorite movies. I have a lot of love in my heart for all three original Mad Max films, but Fury Road is true masterpiece, a master-class in how to tell story and create character through action. The film was a visceral action experience, a
Josh Reviews The Boys in the Boat
The Boys in the Boat is based on the book by Daniel James Brown and tells the true story of the University of Washington junior rowing team and their eventual triumph at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin. The film adaptation was written by Mark L. Smith (The Revenant, The Midnight
Josh Reviews The Saint of Second Chances
I am head over heels in love with the documentary The Saint of Second Chances, directed by Morgan Neville (who directed the wonderful Mister Rogers documentary Won’t You Be My Neighbor?) and Jeff Malmberg. The film explores the story of Mike Veeck. His father was Bill Veeck, o
Josh Reviews Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part Two
DC/Warner Brothers seems to be wrapping up their “Tomorrowverse” continuity of animated films with a three-part adaptation of the seminal 1985-86 mini-series Crisis on Infinite Earths (by Marv Wolfman and George Perez). I was excited by the idea of a three-movie adaptati
Josh Reviews The Fall Guy
In The Fall Guy, Ryan Gosling plays stunt man Colt Seavers. We meet him at work on set, doubling for movie-star Tom Ryder (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), and flirting with his girlfriend, camerawoman Jody Moreno (Emily Blunt). But when a stunt goes wrong, Colt is badly injured and retreat
Josh Reviews Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
I absolutely loved Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes! The film is a wonderful continuation of the venerable Apes franchise (which I dearly love); it’s a beautiful sequel to the previous three-film trilogy (Rise, Dawn, and War for the Planet of the Apes) and also the start of a
Josh Reviews Rebel Moon Part Two: The Scargiver
Why did I watch this? I am not a believer in “hate-watching”. If I am confident I’m not going to like something, I don’t watch it. (This is why I stopped watching Star Trek: Discovery; why I’ve never seen Iron Fist season two, or the last 3-4 Transforme
Josh Reviews Unfrosted
Jerry Seinfeld produced, directed, co-wrote (along with Spike Feresten, Barry Marder, and Andy Robin), and stars in Unfrosted, a very silly movie telling an insane, very much NOT a true story of the creation of the Pop Tart. I’m a huge Jerry Seinfeld fan, so I was of course inte
