Josh Reviews The Outlaw King
In Netflix’s new film The Outlaw King, actor Chris Pine reunites with 2016’s Hell or High Water director David Mackenzie for this tale of Robert the Bruce’s rebellion against the British in the 1300’s. The film opens with the surrender of several Scottish lor
Josh Reviews Andy Serkis’ Mowgli
I’ve been following the long path of Andy Serkis’ Mowgli to the screen for years, and I am delighted to have finally seen it via its home on Netflix. Mr. Serkis began developing this adaptation of Rudyard Kipling’s stories (collected in the book All the Mowgli stories
Josh Reviews Creed II
I am not a huge Rocky fan. I’d seen and enjoyed the original Rocky, but to this day I’ve never seen any of the sequels. I wouldn’t have expected that I’d even have gone to see a Rocky spin-off, let alone that I’d have enjoyed it. But I was blown awa
Josh Has Seen a SNEAK PEEK of AQUAMAN!
Over the weekend I had a chance to see a SNEAK PEEK of the latest big new DC Universe movie: Aquaman! While rumor has it that Warner Brothers won’t be continuing with this current iteration of the interconnected DC movie universe following the less-than-stellar reception of Just
Josh Reviews the Third New Star Trek Short: “The Brightest Star”
The third of four new Star Trek short films, dubbed Short Treks, has arrived: “The Brightest Star.” This short story presents a concise version of the origin of Saru, the Discovery’s Kelpian science officer played by the phenomenally-talented Doug Jones. The stor

News Around the Net! UPDATED with Avengers 4 Trailer!
UPDATE: The first trailer for Avengers 4 has finally dropped! First off: the title. Endgame. That’s… OK. Not a bad title, but it’s a bit generic. I think the phrase “endgame” is a bit overused in genre circles, and Dr. Strange’s line in Infi
Late to the Party: Josh Reviews Veep Seasons One and Two!
Julia Louis Dreyfus’s show Veep always interested me. I was, of course, an enormous fan of Ms. Dreyfus from Seinfeld. The cast looked great (Arrested Development alum Tony Hale’s involvement got my attention), and the political setting really interested me. But somehow, I ne
William Goldman’s Adventures in the Screen Trade!
I was saddened by the recent passing of William Goldman. Mr. Goldman was a talented author of many famous and great (many are one or the other, and many are both) novels and screenplays, including The Princess Bride (the novel and the screenplay), Marathon Man (the novel and the scr
Josh Reviews Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald
I quite liked the first Fantastic Beasts film. I enjoyed being back in the world of Harry Potter (what has now been dubbed “The Wizarding World”), and I thought the film was fun if a little slight. (It was a gentler, more meandering tale than the last few Harry Potter
