Josh Reviews Amsterdam
Not long after watching and enjoying See How They Run, I moved on to another period-piece murder mystery film with a sprawling all-star cast that was released towards the end of 2022: David O. Russell’s Amsterdam. Christian Bale and John David Washington star in the film as Burt
Josh’s Favorite Movies of 2018 — Part Two!
On Friday I began my list of my Favorite Movies of 2018! Onwards: 15. The Year of Spectacular Men — Madelyn Deutch wrote and stars in The Year of Spectacular Men as an upbeat but somewhat lost young woman, Izzy. The film co-stars Madelyn’s sister, Zoey Deutch, as Izzy
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
From the DVD Shelf: Josh Catches Up With Ridley Scott’s Exodus: Gods and Kings
I missed Ridley Scott’s Exodus: Gods and Kings when it was released back in December, 2014, and the film’s dismal reviews kept me from rushing to watch it on DVD or streaming. But there was no way I could altogether skip a new film from Ridley Scott, one of the greatest
Josh Reviews American Hustle
There’s no question in my mind that David O. Russell is a terrifically skilled director, and it’s been interesting seeing how his recent films have been able to blend his idiosyncratic sensibilities with a slightly more mainstream approach. I had some problems with Silve

My excitement is building for The Dark Knight Rises, which opens today! I hope to be seeing it soon, and of course I’ll be posting my thoughts right here as soon as I do. In the mean-time, let’s continue my look back at Christopher Nolan’s previous two Bat-films.
From the DVD Shelf: Josh Reviews Batman Begins (2005)
With Christopher Nolan’s third and apparently final Batman film only weeks away, I thought it would be fun to go back and re-watch his first two Bat-films. Having seen so many great super-hero films in the years since 2005, it’s easy to forget just how impressive Mr. Nolan
Catching Up on 2010: Josh Reviews The Fighter
When I first heard about The Fighter, I thought “here we go again, yet another boxing movie.” But then I realized that, though I could certainly list a TON of boxing movies, I haven’t actually seen that many of them. I’m not at all interested in the “
“If you are listening to this, you are the resistance” — Josh Reviews Terminator: Salvation
Bottom line on Terminator: Salvation — It’s not as good a Terminator movie as I would have hoped for, but don’t believe the reviews, it’s not nearly the catastrophe you’ve been lead to believe it is. Ever since James Cameron’s original masterpiece T
