Late to the Party: Josh Reviews Louie Season Two
I am a huge fan of comedian Louis C.K.’s stand-up work. I think his recent stand-up films: Hilarious, Live at the Beacon Theater, and Oh My God, are among the finest stand-up performances I have ever seen. I really dug the first season of his FX show, Louie (click here for m

Josh Reviews Tusk
I’m a huge fan of Kevin Smith. I like his movies, and more than that, I like Mr. Smith himself. He’s a great character and a hilarious story-teller. There have been some fantastically-packed DVD and blu-ray releases of his earlier films, and sometimes I think the spe
From the DVD Shelf: Josh Reviews Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit
I am a huge fan, over-all, of the Jack Ryan film series and I believe this is a character, and a series, that still has quite a lot of gas in its tank. What a disappointment, then, to watch the latest installment, the rebooted Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, and discover a total waste of

Josh Reviews Orange is the New Black: Season 2
My wife and I tore through the first season of Orange is the New Black in about a week last October. (Click here for my review.) It’s been a long wait for season two! There are some shows that build gradually to popularity (like Seinfeld), while others explode onto the scene
Batman: Assault on Arkham
I have soured recently on the DC Animated direct-to-DVD/blu-ray releases, and I’m afraid their latest release, Batman: Assault on Arkham, does little to change my general impression that this line of animated films has lost its way. This film had a few things going for it off th
