(Almost) Fifty Years of 007! Josh Reviews Goldfinger (1964)
I’m only three films into my year-long (if not longer) project to revisit all 22 James Bond films, and I’ve already arrived at my very favorite Bond movies, and one of my very favorite films of all-time: Goldfinger. The film: The greatness of Goldfinger lies in how the fil
From the DVD Shelf: The Larry Sanders Show: Season One
Last week I wrote about season one of It’s Garry Shandling’s Show, the ahead-of-its time sitcom created by and starring Garry Shandling, that aired on Showtime from 1986-1990. As I have been watching It’s Garry Shandling’s Show, I have simultaneously been re-
Camp Ramah Goes Back to the Future!
I have written before about our annual parody videos that we create at Camp Ramah in New England to kick off our beginning-of-Staff-Week competitions. This year we went back to one of my favorite films from back in 1985: You can click here to see our previous parody videos of Avatar
News Around the Net
I have had to reevaluate my opinion of Adam Carolla after listening to his marvelous interview (well-over an hour long) with the great Albert Brooks. This is a MUST-LISTEN, friends. Attorney General Eric Holder has challenged David Simon to produce a sixth season of The Wire?? Tha
From the DVD Shelf: Cronos (1993)
I really enjoyed the two Hellboy movies directed by Guillermo del Toro, and the exquisite Pan’s Labyrinth made me a fan of his for life. Last year I tracked down his 2001 Spanish-language horror film The Devil’s Backbone, which I really enjoyed (you can read my review he
From the DVD Shelf: It’s Garry Shandling’s Show Season One
For as long as I can remember I’ve been hearing and reading about It’s Garry Shandling’s Show, the innovative sort-of-sitcom comedy show that Garry Shandling created and starred in on Showtime from 1986 to 1990. I adored The Larry Sanders Show (Mr. Shandling’
Star Trek Typhon Pact: Rough Beasts of Empire
Now this is more what I’m talking about! David R. George III’s new Star Trek novel, Rough Beasts of Empire, is by far the strongest installment in the Typhon Pact series so far, and one of the best Trek books I’ve read in years. This third Typhon Pact novel only en
Josh Reviews Super 8
J.J. Abrams’ new film, Super 8, is an unabashed love-letter to the late ’70s and early ’80s films directed by Steven Spielberg and, as such, seems like it was designed from top-to-bottom to tickle every movie-loving funny-bone in my body. I’m sure I’m n
Josh Enjoys the Release of Jerry Goldsmith’s Complete Score for Star Trek V!
As a big fan of Star Trek and of movie soundtracks, I’m starting to get spoiled. In the last few years we’ve seen the release, on lovely new CD sets, of the complete versions of James Horner’s amazing scores for Star Trek II and Star Trek III (click here for my rev
Apes! Apes! Apes! Apes! Apes! Apes!
I am loving the latest teaser trailer for the new Planet of the Apes flick: To this day I remain ridiculously in love with the five original Planet of the Apes flicks (the less we discuss Tim Burton’s “re-imagining,” the better) and am starting to get very cautiousl
