“What Kind of Day Has it Been” — Josh Bids Farewell to The Newsroom
I have enormous respect for the talent and skill of Aaron Sorkin. He has written the screenplay for some of my very favorite movies (A Few Good Men tops the list, but I also love The Social Network, Charlie Wilson’s War, Moneyball, and many others), and he is responsible for t
Josh Reviews The Newsroom Season Two
The two-hour finale of The Newsroom season two, “Election Night” Parts I & II, were in my opinion probably as good as the show has ever been in its two short seasons on HBO (ten episodes in season one, only nine in season two). This is good news and bad, as on the on

This is an old clip (it’s from 2012), but I just saw it for the first time and loved it: a revival of “Who’s on First” with Jimmy Fallon, Billy Crystal, and Jerry Seinfeld! This made me laugh a LOT. Ladies and gentlemen: Good Will Batman. This is an interes
The Newsroom Returns For Season Two
Aaron Sorkin’s The Newsroom has returned for season two, and I have seen the first two episodes. If you loved season one, I think you will love season two. And if you hated season one, I think you will hate season two. Because not much has changed. For me, I find myself caug

Yesterday I began my list of my Top 10 Movies from 2010. Here now are numbers 5-1! 5. Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work — This documentary totally took me by surprise and completely changed the way I look at Joan Rivers. As the cameras follow Ms. Rivers for a year of her life, w
Josh Reviews The Social Network
It’s hard for me to a recall another film that has so bravely allowed its lead character to come off as so completely unlikable. In The Social Network‘s power-house of a first scene, Mark Zuckerberg (played by Jesse Eisenberg) is clearly presented to us as a Grade-A, pr
From The DVD Shelf: Josh Reviews A Few Good Men (1992)
A Few Good Men is one of those movies that I saw countless times in the nineties, to the point that I knew the film so well that it bored me. But then I stopped watching it, and when I decided to pop the film into my DVD player earlier this month, it had been […]

So is Peter Jackson going to direct The Hobbit? Or will it be his protege Neill Bolmkamp, who directed District 9? Who knows — I just hope this mess with MGM gets sorted out soon. I’m still getting over my enormous disappointment that MGM’s financial situation resu
