Josh Reviews Sherlock Season Four!
Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss’ wonderful series Sherlock returned in 2017 for a three-episode series four. I have adored this series, a modern-day reinterpretation of the Sherlock Holmes stories, since the beginning. I admire its intelligence and sophistication and the way

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

Josh Reviews Logan
It’s hard to believe that Hugh Jackman has been playing the character of Wolverine for almost twenty years now. Mr. Jackman’s casting was one of the many minor miracles that made Bryan Singer’s original X-Men film from 2000 such a wonderful revelation. It’s
Catching Up on 2016: Deadpool
I skipped Deadpool when it was released in theatres earlier this year. I was impressed that Ryan Reynolds had gotten his passion project made, and super-impressed that Fox had the guts to release an R-rated superhero film (and, even more, one that was directly connected to their X-M
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
