Josh Reviews Blue Moon
Ethan Hawke stars in Blue Moon as Lorenz Hart, the real-life lyricist who wrote “The Lady is a Tramp,” “My Funny Valentine,” and many other songs, including “Blue Moon”, from which this movie draws its title. Mr. Hart spent years collaborating wit
Josh Reviews Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery
Wake Up Dead Man is the third Benoit Blanc murder mystery film written and directed by Rian Johnson. Knives Out was the first, followed by Glass Onion. I loved them both, and I’m trilled to report that Wake Up Dead Man is a thoroughly entertaining and completely satisfying n
Josh Reviews Modern Love
Amazon’s series, Modern Love, is based on the New York Times column of the same name. Each episode of this eight-episode anthology series adapts a specific Modern Love column. Each episode tells the story of a romance; though the episodes feature different types of love st
Josh Reviews Season Five of Black Mirror

Josh Reviews the BBC’s Sherlock Season Two!
A few weeks ago I wrote about the BBC’s excellent modern-day reinvention of Sherlock Holmes in Season One of their show Sherlock. When the credits rolled on the last episode, I quickly ordered season two from Amazon. Season Two is of even higher quality than Season One! With the
Josh Reviews the BBC’s Sherlock Season One
Back in 2010, I started hearing about the BBC’s new Sherlock series. The word was overwhelmingly positive — people seemed to love this new reinvention of the Sherlock Holmes character and mythos, set in modern-day London. I was interested, but frankly having just recen
