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 […]
Josh Reviews Val
The documentary Val, directed by Leo Scott and Ting Poo, explores the life and career of Val Kilmer. Utilizing the epic trove of home video footage that the actor has recorded throughout his life, both at home and on the sets of many of the movies in which he has performed, the doc

Josh Reviews The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone

Josh Reviews The Suicide Squad
Five years after the first disappointing Suicide Squad film from DC/Warner Brothers comes another attempt at the property, the similarly-titled The Suicide Squad, written and directed by James Gunn. It’s sort of crazy to me that DC/Warner Brothers can’t or won’t ma
Josh Reviews Batman: Soul of the Dragon
Batman: Soul of the Dragon is one of the most interesting DC animated direct-to-DVD/blu-ray films to come down the pike in the past several years. This out of continuity story features Bruce Wayne/Batman and other (relatively obscure) DC characters in a 1970’s style martial a
