Josh Reviews Score: A Film Music Documentary
I love movies, and I love movie scores. I’m not sure when I first started to realize that a part of what I loved about movies was their score; and that, beyond that, it was in fact the score that was a critical element of those movies I loved. It probably began with the Star
Josh Reviews Lady Bird
Set in 2002, Greta Gerwig’s film Lady Bird tells the story of a teenaged girl, Christine (though she prefers to go by “Lady Bird” — her given name in that, as she says in the film, “it was given to me, by me”) growing up in Sacramento. Lady Bird i
Josh Reviews Star Wars: The Last Jedi!
Star Wars: The Last Jedi, written and directed by Rian Johnson, is not at all the film that I expected it to be. It is very different from The Force Awakens, but a satisfying continuation of the story that film began. The film is exciting, suspenseful, and emotional. It is funny
Star Trek: The Original Series Gets the Series Finale it Always Deserved in “To Boldly Go” Part 2!
Star Trek: Continues is a fan-made enterprise (see what I did there?) begun five years ago in an attempt to create the never-made fourth season of the Original Series. In the past five years, Vic Mignogna and his fantastic team of collaborators have created eleven full-length episod
Josh Reviews Better Things Season Two!
I loved the first season of Pamela Adlon’s show Better Things, and the recently-concluded second season was every bit as fantastic. I feel like this show has been flying under the radar for many people, and that’s a shame. It’s one of the best currently-running T
Josh Reviews Coco
In Pixar’s latest masterpiece, Coco, we meet Miguel, a young boy growing up in a small Mexican town. His family are all shoemakers, and the expectation is that Miguel will follow in their footsteps (pun sort-of intended) and take up the family profession. But Miguel secretly lon
Josh Reviews Stranger Things Season Two!
Like most everybody else, I quite enjoyed the first season of the Duffer Brothers’ Stranger Things last year. (Click here for my review.) But while I enjoyed that first eight-episode installment, by the end of it I wasn’t sure the show could sustain a multi-season run.
Taking a Deep Dive into the Avengers: Infinity War Trailer!
Howsabout that new Avengers: Infinity War trailer, huh? That’s a great trailer. I feel as excited as I did during the months of anticipation for the first Avengers film, wondering whether Marvel would be able to pull off this grand experiment and succeed in their unprecedented
Josh Reviews Murder on the Orient Express
Murder on the Orient Express, directed by Kenneth Branagh, is the latest film adaptation of Agatha Christie’s 1934 novel. Mr. Branagh also stars as detective Hercule Poirot, who finds himself enmeshed in a complicated murder mystery while traveling from Istanbul to London on b
News Around the Net!
I have often described my precise level of nerdery as follows: I have been to many Star Trek conventions, but I have never dressed up in a costume at a Star Trek convention. (I am not in any way mocking cosplayers!! I am just using that as an example of where my nerd-ness lies.)
