Josh Reviews Oppenheimer
A new Christopher Nolan movie is always exciting to me. I’ve been a huge fan ever since Memento. Some of his movies rank among my favorite films ever, such as The Prestige and The Dark Knight. I was surprised that I so disliked his most recent film, Tenet. Yet I remained
Josh Reviews Tenet
I’ve been a huge Christopher Nolan film ever since watching Memento back in 2000. I think that Tenet is the first Nolan film since 2002’s Insomnia that I didn’t see on the big screen. I desperately wanted to, of course, but I didn’t think it wise to go to a
Josh’s Favorite Movies of 2017 — Part Two!
Click here for part one of my list of my Favorite Movies of 2017! Let’s continue… 15. Coco — Once again, the mad geniuses at Pixar have crafted a film that is fun, visually stunning, and emotionally complex. The “hook” of the film is young MiguelR
Josh Reviews Dunkirk
In May of 1940, German forces had trapped the British Expeditionary Force, along with French and Belgian soldiers, along the northern French coast. The Allied troops pulled back to Dunkirk, but efforts at evacuation were at first thwarted by the German Luftwaffe. In what came to b
The Best Not Quite “To Be Continued” Endings of Franchise Films
One of my complaints about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was how much of the film was filled with shameless plugs for future DC Universe films. I am all for connectivity between superhero films, thus establishing a shared universe of story-telling. That is, in fact, one of th
Josh Reviews Interstellar
When it was first announced that Christopher Nolan would be making an original science-fiction film as his next project, featuring a top-shelf cast and utilizing a blockbuster-sized budget, I was quickly atwitter with visions of a masterpiece. After much anticipation, Interstellar h
News Around the Net
In one of my earliest posts on the site, I wrote my own follow-up to the famous Comics Journal article “Martin Wagner Owes Me Fifty Bucks,” in which I listed several comic book series that remained tragically never-completed by their authors. At the top of the list was D
News Around the Net!
This high school-set Game of Thrones parody, School of Thrones, is fantastic. Worth it for the awesome opening credits alone. I often wax poetic about my love for the great, much-missed The Larry Sanders Show. My buddy Ethan e-mailed me this link to a terrific interview with Jeffr
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
Josh Reviews Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol (and the Dark Knight Rises Prologue!!)
I’ve really enjoyed all three Mission: Impossible films, though none of them quite reached perfection in my mind. Probably my favorite part of all three films is the first 30 minutes of the first one, where we got to see an awesome team of super-spies engaged in some really fu
