Josh Reviews Moneyball!
Is anyone else as amused as I am by how closely Brad Pitt, in the new baseball film Moneyball, resembles Robert Redford in the classic baseball film The Natural (click here for my review)? It’s spooky, man! Anyways, Moneyball is adapted from the book Moneyball: The Art of Winn
The “Extended Cut” of Green Lantern Still Stinks
I was really disappointed by this summer’s Green Lantern. I had high hopes for the epic space adventure promised by the trailers, but what we got instead was a lame, Earth-bound mess. (Read my full review here.) I wondered if the “Extended Cut” of the film releas
Days of Terrence Malick (Part 1): The Thin Red Line (1998)
Terrence Malick directed two highly acclaimed films in the 1970’s (Badlands and Days of Heaven, neither of which I’ve seen, but I plan to remedy that soon — more on this later), and then he dropped out of sight for twenty years. Mr. Malick finally returned to the w

Avengers Assemble!
So surely you’ve all seen this, right? That’s a pretty solid trailer, but I find that I have to stop myself from being blase about the fact that they’ve actually gone and made an Avengers movie. I need to remind myself just how amazing and unbelievable it is that t
“We have the tools, we have the talent!” Josh Enjoys Ghostbusters Back on the Big Screen!
Did you know that Ghostbusters is back in theatres??? It’s true! At select cinemas across the country, Ghostbusters screened last Thursday night, and there are showings scheduled for this Thursday and the following Thursday as well! I was delighted to have been able to be
“Well Met in the House of the Rose” The Dark Tower VII: The Dark Tower
“We’ll go,” he said. “We’ll find the Dark Tower, and nothing will stand against us, and before we go in, we’ll speak their names. All of the lost.” “Your list will be longer than mine,” xxx said, “but mine will be long en
