Catching Up on 2010: Josh Reviews Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work
Before I finalize my Best of 2010 lists (which will be coming in a few weeks), I’ve been trying to catch up on some of the movies/TV shows/comics/etc. that I’d missed during the past very busy twelve months. One of the films that I was bummed to have never gotten to was
From the DVD Shelf: Josh Reviews the original TRON (1982)
Before seeing the new, big-budgeted sequel Tron: Legacy, being released this week by the Walt Disney Company, I decided that I really needed to go back and watch the 1982 original. That proved a little more difficult than I had anticipated! I’d assumed that Disney would cash i
Spielberg in the Aughts: War of the Worlds (2005)
In 2005 Steven Spielberg returned to sci-fi with his version of H. G. Wells’ famous story from 1898, War of the Worlds. Not surprisingly, rather than being a period piece, Mr. Spielberg set his adaptation in the present day. Tom Cruise reunited with Spielberg to star as Ray Fe

EZ Viewing: Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
The second film in my EZ Viewing movie marathon is Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country! I respect J.J. Abrams for what he accomplished with his Star Trek reboot. (Click here for my review.) I enjoyed the flick, and am thrilled that Trek is exciting and “cool” again. But T
From the DVD Shelf: Josh Reviews Murder By Decree (1979)
After watching Time After Time, the 1979 film in which H.G. Welles matches wits with Jack the Ripper (read my review here), I decided to move on to another film in which a towering literary figure confronts Jack the Ripper. I’m speaking of Murder by Decree, which interestingly
From the DVD Shelf: Josh Reviews Time After Time (1979)
For years, Star Trek fans spoke of the odd-numbered curse that afflicted the Trek movies. The odd-numbered films (Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, and Star Trek V: The Voyage Home) seemed markedly inferior to the even-numbered ones (Star Trek II: T
From the DVD Shelf: Josh reviews Get Him To The Greek
I’m a big, big fan of Forgetting Sarah Marshall. That film really took me by surprise — it’s a very, very funny film, but also one that is remarkably endearing. The breakout star of the film was, of course, Russell Brand’s rock star Aldous Snow. Snow was a
