Josh Reviews Silver Linings Playbook
Nothing in the plot description of Silver Linings Playbook really caught my attention, but the fact that it was written (adapted from the novel by Matthew Quick) and directed by David O. Russell automatically made the film something I was interested in. I don’t love all of Mr.
Star Trek: Immortal Coil
The Persistence of Memory, book 1 of David Mack’s so-far-great new Star Trek trilogy, Cold Equations, made repeated reference to events in a previous Star Trek novel: Jeffrey Lang’s 2002 book, Immortal Coil. Before continuing on to read book two of Mr. Mack’s trilogy

Josh Reviews This is 40
I’m an enormous Judd Apatow fan. I’m proud to say that I watched and loved Freaks and Geeks (the criminally cancelled-before-its time TV show created by Paul Feig and executive-produced by Mr. Apatow) back when it originally aired. Same goes with Undeclared, Mr. Apatow

Guessing About The Second and Third Hobbit Films!

The Date is Set — Yet the Truth is Still Out There…
“The date is set,” the Cigarette Smoking Man told us, back in 2002. December 22, 2012. Fans of The X-Files know what I’m talking about, of course. In the closing minutes of the series finale, we learned the date set for the coming alien invasion of the Earth: Decem
Josh Reviews The Life of Pi (3D)
Directed by Ang Lee, The Life of Pi is an adaptation Yann Martel’s novel (which I will state right here at the beginning I have not read) in which a young boy manages to survive a shipwreck and many months alone at sea on a tiny boat, with only a Bengal tiger for company. Pisc
