Josh Reviews Furiosa
Mad Max: Fury Road is one of my all-time favorite movies. I have a lot of love in my heart for all three original Mad Max films, but Fury Road is true masterpiece, a master-class in how to tell story and create character through action. The film was a visceral action experience, a
Josh Reviews Thor: Love and Thunder
I enjoyed the first two Thor films, though in hindsight I think both count among the weaker of the MCU films. Thor: Ragnarok, directed by Taika Waititi, was a glorious surprise and a thrilling reinvention of the Thor character. It was epic and exciting and also deliriously funny a
Josh Reviews Bad Times at the El Royale
Bad Times at the El Royale takes place over one long day and night at the titular El Royale hotel, located on the border of California and Nevada. The El Royale used to be a happening spot, but its glory days are long in the past. Everyone who has chosen to come stay at the [&hell
Josh Reviews Men in Black: International
I really enjoyed the first Men in Black film, made back in 1997. It’s not a perfect film, but it’s a lot of fun to watch. But none of the sequels have ever lived up to the potential of this series’ wonderful premise (of a secret group of men and women whose job i

Josh Reviews Avengers: Infinity War!
Once again, the wizards at Marvel Studios have pulled off the near-impossible: seamlessly weaving together characters and story-threads from the previous EIGHTEEN Marvel Studios movies into an epic, compelling super-hero extravaganza that is fun, funny and heartbreaking in equal measu
Marvel Triumphs Again With Thor: Ragnarok!
Thor: Ragnarok is the third Thor film, but more importantly it is the incredible seventeenth film in the continuing and expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe. Looking back over these seventeen films, it is astounding to consider the incredibly high quality that Marvel has been able to
Catching up on 2015: In the Heart of the Sea
The director of Apollo 13 has a fan in me for life, and so a new Ron Howard film is always going to attract my attention. The idea of Mr. Howard directing a film telling the “true” story behind the book Moby Dick is an interesting hook. There are moments of greatness i
Josh Reviews Vacation
National Lampoon’s Vacation was a film I loved dearly when I was a kid. It was so funny and raunchy and felt a little bit dangerous to my young self. (I probably saw it at a younger age than I should have, though on the other hand perhaps that was the perfect age at which [&
