Josh Reviews No Sudden Move
The great director Steven Soderbergh’s latest film, No Sudden Move, was recently released on HBO Max. The film stars Don Cheadle as Curt Goynes, a man just released from prison. Needing cash, he takes a job along with another criminal named Ronald Russo (Benicio del Toro).
Josh Reviews Ghostbusters: Afterlife
I think the original 1984 Ghostbusters is one of the most perfect movies ever made. I adore that film. It’s a brilliant comedy whose jokes still hold up decades later (and even after so many viewings that I have most of the movie memorized). At the same time, it’s al
Josh Reviews Oxygen
In the film Oxygen (available to view on Netflix), Mélanie Laurent plays the main character (whose name we don’t at first know), who wakes up trapped in some sort of futuristic medical pod. She doesn’t know who she is or how she got there. The pod has an A.I. called

The latest MCU film, The Eternals, brings Jack Kirby’s cosmic creations to the big screen for the first time. The film introduces audiences to the Eternals, a group of immortals who have been living on Earth for around seven thousand years. They were planted on Earth by giga

In Paul Feig’s 2018 film, A Simple Favor, we follow the unlikely friendship between tight-laced, goody-two-shoes single mom Stephanie (Anna Kendrick) and the mysterious, dynamic, sexy Emily (Blake Lively). When Emily disappears one day without a trace, the determined Stephanie

Josh Reviews Dune
Frank Herbert’s Dune is one of my very favorite novels. I adore it and have read it many times. (Each time I read it, I feel like I inch closer to full comprehension.) I have a soft spot in my heart for David Lynch’s 1984 adaptation of Dune; it’s a terrible mov
Josh Reviews Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
Shang-Chi (Simu Liu) and his best friend Katy (Awkwafina) are happy working go-nowhere jobs together, parking cars as hotel valets. But when Shang is attacked on a bus, the past he’d tried to bury comes rushing back. It turns out his father is Xu Wenwu (Tony Leung), a crime
Josh Reviews No Time to Die
No Time To Die is the fifth and final film starring Daniel Craig as James Bond. The film is excellent, with some terrific action set-pieces and also some lovely moments of emotional depth (something the series rarely saw before Mr. Craig took on the role). While the film is not ev
Josh Reviews Kevin Smith’s Red State
As I wrote recently in my review of Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, for the first decade or so of Kevin Smith’s film career I was a huge fan. I still have a lot of love in my heart for his first run of films: Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, and Jay and Silent Bob […]
