Catching Up on 2016: Josh Reviews The Beatles: Eight Days a Week — The Touring Years
The Beatles: Eight Days a Week — The Touring Years is a new documentary by Ron Howard, focusing on The Beatles’ whirlwind years spent touring all over the globe between 1962 and 1966. I’m a huge Beatles fan, so I was immediately interested in this film, even as I w
Days of De Palma (Part 20): De Palma (2015)
I feel like Noah Baumbach and Jake Paltrow’s documentary De Palma was made just for me. As I was finishing my lengthy “Days of De Palma” project of watching all of the films directed by Brian De Palma, I learned of the existence of this documentary. Oh my god! Ho

Star Trek: Prey Book 2: The Jackal’s Trick
I really loved Hell’s Heart, Book 1 in John Jackson Miller’s new Prey trilogy of Klingon-centric novels. Continuing Pocket Books’ expanding post-Nemesis Star Trek saga, Prey sees the Federation-Klingon alliance frayed to the breaking point. Discommendated Klingon

Catching Up on 2016: Deadpool

Josh Reviews O.J.: Made in America
I was blown away by how much I enjoyed Ryan Murphy’s ten-episode The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story. I loved it so much that I was eager to stay in that world and learn still more about everything and everyone involved in the O.J. trial. As much as I had been h
News Around the Net!
So, was that the craziest end to an Oscars broadcast ever??? Holy cow. I have never seen anything like that before. I feel terrible for all the La La Land folks, but I am also overjoyed that Moonlight won. I loved that film. Overall I thought the show was very solid. Jimmy
Oscars 2017
I love watching the Oscars because I love the idea of celebrating movies for three hours. But I don’t take the Oscars too seriously, because if I did, I’d just get maddeningly upset about their choices. Instead, I prefer to relax, not place too much importance on who w
