An Unexpected Journey
Stop reading and WATCH THIS NOW: Dear lord, we have to wait a FULL YEAR for this??? I’m not sure if I can make it! I’ve watched the trailer several times through already, and I just love it to death. And remember: this is just a teaser trailer for a film that is STILL
Josh Reviews Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol (and the Dark Knight Rises Prologue!!)
I’ve really enjoyed all three Mission: Impossible films, though none of them quite reached perfection in my mind. Probably my favorite part of all three films is the first 30 minutes of the first one, where we got to see an awesome team of super-spies engaged in some really fu
Days of De Palma (Part 1): Carrie (1976)
I’ve often enjoyed here, on the site, taking some time to watch or, in some cases, re-watch, a series of films by the same director. One of my very first blogs on the site was a look back at several of the films of David Mamet, and more recently I re-watched the last decade an
Tales From the Longbox
Here’s a run-down of some of the comic-books I’ve been reading lately: The New 52 — Back in September, I gave my comments on the big DC Comics’ series-wide re-launch. A few months later, with several more issues of a number of the DC titles under my belt, my
A Tale of Two Super-Hero Posters
Last week saw the release of teaser posters for two big super-hero movies coming out in Summer 2012, and they pretty powerfully indicate why I’m far more interested in one of these films than the other. First is Christopher Nolan’s third (and apparently final) Batman film,
Movies To See!
With Oscar-season upon us, and the end of the year approaching with blinding speed, I find that there are a TON of movies out or coming out in the near future that I really want to see: Hugo: Martin Scorsese has directed a 3-D family fantasy adventure? I am really hoping that this w
Days of Terrence Malick (Part 3): Days of Heaven (1978)
Ok, so it took me a little longer than I’d anticipated to get to the next installment in my “Days of Terrence Malick” series, looking back at the films of this acclaimed director. Re-watching The Thin Red Line (read my review here) made me want to watch the two fil
News Around the Net!
Check out this sneak peek at Game of Thrones season two! AARRGH, I can’t believe we have to wait until September! (But I’m intrigued by the rumor that seasons 3 and 4 will shoot back-to-back and will comprise a two-season adaptation of the third book, A Storm of Swords
Josh Reviews The Descendants
Last week I saw The Muppets and then The Descendants, in what has to be one of the weirdest double-features ever. I was really excited about The Muppets, and while I enjoyed that film (read my review here) I was surprised to end the evening having far preferred The Descendants! The
Josh Reviews The Muppets!
The beginning of The Muppets, the new film starring Jim Hensen’s creations, presents us with a world much like our own: one in which the Muppets have been pretty much forgotten, passed over in favor of more modern sources of entertainment. Beseeched to get the gang back togeth
