Josh Reviews Manchester By The Sea
Casey and Ben Affleck both earned my approbation forever with 2007’s Gone Baby Gone, a magnificent and heartbreaking piece of work. That film was Ben Affleck’s directorial debut and Casey played the lead role. If you haven’t seen it, go see it right now. I̵

Josh Reviews Netflix’s Season Three of Black Mirror!
I adored the original six episodes made of the British TV show Black Mirror. Series creator Charlie Brooker had made a riveting modern/day Twilight Zone, with each episode a completely stand-alone installment presenting a look at the ways that technology has the potential to be terr

Josh Reviews Westworld Season One!
I’m a little bit behind on all of my TV watching. In this era of Peak TV, there is so much great television to watch that I find it hard to keep up! Being a fan both of sci-fi and HBO, I was of course hugely excited last year as I read about the development […]
Days of De Palma (Part 19): Passion (2012)
I am excited to have finally arrived at the end of my journey through the filmography of master director Brian De Palma. (Well, the end for now – Mr. De Palma is alive and well, and hopefully has additional films in his future!) 2007’s Redacted was a rough watch —

“Evil Wears Every Possible Mitten” — Josh Reviews Amazon’s The Tick!
I’ve been a fan of Ben Edlund’s wonderful superhero parody, The Tick, since (almost) the very beginning. Friends in high school turned me on to the wonderful black-and-white comic, published by New England Comics, soon after those early issues were published in the late
Josh Reviews Rogue One!
Let me get this out right at the top: Rogue One is better than The Force Awakens. For those looking for a spoiler-free review, there you go. For everyone else, buckle in, let’s go! I have for years been dreaming of seeing a brand new Star Wars film on the big screen that I could
