“Accentuate the Positive” — Treme Returns!
It’s been a long wait since last summer, but one of my favorite series from 2010 finally returned with new episodes this past Sunday night — David Simon (The Wire) and Eric Overmyer’s Treme! Season two picks up about six or seven months after the events of the seaso
Star Trek Lives! Josh Reviews Enemy: Starfleet!
After a long, long, looooong wait, a new full-length episode of Star Trek: Phase II has been released on-line. It’s called Enemy: Starfleet! and it is dynamite. Watch it here! If you’re any sort of fan of Star Trek, this is well-worth your time. I’ve written befo
From The DVD Shelf: The Natural (1984)
I have fond memories of watching The Natural with my father as a kid, but it’s been quite a number of years since I’d seen it last. When I saw a blu-ray of the film on-sale at Amazon for just a few bucks, I snatched it up. What fun it was to revisit this fine […
News Around the Net!
Though I think the quality of his films has dipped considerably in the last decade or two, I remain an enormous Woody Allen fan. So I tip my hat to Juliet Lapidos from Slate Magazine who just watched every single Woody Allen film and summarized what she’s learned. It’s
It’s a Madhouse!!!
I cannot believe that that there really is a new Planet of the Apes film being released this summer. I simply find it difficult to wrap my mind around that gloriously outlandish fact. But look! Visual evidence!! Watch the trailer in super-high resolution here! Can’t wait.
Josh Reviews Paul!
It seems to me like Paul, the new film from Simon Pegg & Nick Frost, has been flying far under the radar. That’s too bad, because the two men (who, along with Edward Wright, were responsible for Spaced, Shaun of the Dead, and Hot Fuzz) just might be the finest comedy duo w
Spielberg in the Aughts: Munich (2005)
I’m here at last with the long-delayed final installment of my Spielberg in the Aughts series with a look at Mr. Spielberg’s 2005 film, Munich. This was pretty much the only Spielberg film from the last decade-and-a-half that I’d unabashedly loved when I first saw it
When Harry Met Sally 2
This could be the greatest thing I’ve ever seen ever: When Harry Met Sally 2 with Billy Crystal & Helen Mirren from Billy Crystal
The Worst Movie Endings of All Time
A few days ago, Devin Faraci wrote a great piece over on Badassdigest.com (a really phenomenal site that I can’t recommend highly enough) about the terrible ending of the classic Bill Murray film, Stripes. Mr. Faraci is right on the nose — the last 30 or so minutes of Stri
Josh Reviews The Adjustment Bureau!
I’m always intrigued, but a bit worried, when I hear that another Philip K. Dick story is being turned into a movie. Many adaptations of Mr. Dick’s work have been pretty horrid, and even the ones that are great (such as Total Recall and Blade Runner) tend to diverge pret
