“And They Have a Plan…”
The series may be over, but Galactica lives on! Some tantalizing clips from the two-hour Battlestar Galactica TV-movie “The Plan” have made their way onto the interwebs, courtesy of the fine folks over at Galactiaca Sitrep. Check ’em out! I can’t wait…
From the DVD Shelf: The Departed
As with Charlie Wilson’s War (which I wrote about on Wednesday), The Departed is a movie whose DVD has been sitting on my shelf for a while now, waiting for me to revisit it (after really enjoying my first viewing when I saw it in theatres). I am pleased to say I enjoyed the f
From the DVD Shelf: Charlie Wilson’s War
Picked this up off the DVD shelf recently, and I must say I enjoyed it as thoroughly as I did when I saw it in theatres last year. In his review of the film for the New York Times, A.O. Scott described Charlie Wilson’s War as “more of a hoot than any picture dealing with
Amen, Brother!
I love talking about movies. I don’t think that’s a terrible surprise to any visitor to this site. Whether I loved a movie or loathed it, I love picking movies apart and analyzing the acting, the directing, the visual effects, the score, the editing, the ins-and-outs of

Josh Reviews American Teen
In 2006, documentary film-maker Nanette Burstein and her team followed several teenagers through the course of their Senior Year of High School in Warsaw, Indiana. While a number of students applied to participate, the final film focuses on five kids, who seem to fit into typical Br
“If you are listening to this, you are the resistance” — Josh Reviews Terminator: Salvation
Bottom line on Terminator: Salvation — It’s not as good a Terminator movie as I would have hoped for, but don’t believe the reviews, it’s not nearly the catastrophe you’ve been lead to believe it is. Ever since James Cameron’s original masterpiece T
