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
Josh Reviews Like Crazy
If Like Crazy is playing anywhere near you, I really encourage you to seek out this wrenching little film. The movie stars Anton Yelchin (who played Chekov in J. J. Abrams’ Star Trek reboot) and Felicity Jones (getting a tremendous amount of acclaim, and deservedly so, for this
Star Trek Myriad Universes: Shattered Light
A few years ago, Pocket Books released a terrific two-book series entitled Star Trek: Myriad Universes. (Read my review here!) Each book featured three novellas, each written by a different author, and each featuring a fascinating “what-if” tale set in a different era o
From the DVD Shelf: Attack the Block
I’d been reading about Joe Cornish’s directorial debut, the British sci-fi/horror/comedy film Attack the Block, all year. The low-budget film was a hit on the festival circuit, and was trumpeted by several of my favorite on-line film reviewers, notably Drew McWeeny at Hi
Josh Reviews The Ides of March
It’s been a while since I’ve seen a good, angry political thriller, so I quite enjoyed George Clooney’s latest directorial feature, The Ides of March. Perhaps thriller is the wrong word, since that word conjures thoughts of films featuring mysteries or action/suspens
From the DVD Shelf: Your Highness
In the DVD’s special features, Zooey Deschannel describes the film Your Highness as a dirty version of The Princess Bride, and I’d say that’s as good a description as any for this very profane, very funny fantasy film. I won’t call it a spoof, because Your Hig
