Catching Up! Josh Reviews Whiplash, The One I Love, and A Million Ways to Die in the West
I’m catching up with reviews of movies I’ve seen over the past several months! Onward: Whiplash (2014) — Every bit as compelling as I’d heard. Miles Teller first came to my attention in the excellent film The Spectacular Now (click here for my review), whic
Looking Back at Mad Max!
I am in almost physical agony that I haven’t yet seen Mad Max: Fury Road. I cannot believe that George Miller has returned to make another Mad Max film, THIRTY YEARS after the last film. And what’s more amazing is how spectacular it looks. I need to see this thing, a
Catching Up! Josh Reviews Powers Season One, Star Wars The Clone Wars “Bad Batch”, and Batman vs Robin
On my desk I keep a list of the various movies and TV shows that I’ve watched that I intend to write about here on the site. Lately that list has been growing very long! I have fallen somewhat behind on my blogging. So I’m going to try a new format here and post some
Days of De Palma (Part 11): Raising Cain (1992)
Slowly but surely, my journey through the films of Brian De Palma continues! (If you scroll down to the bottom of this post, you’ll find links to all the other Brian De Palma films I have watched!) Sandwiched in between two high-profile Brian De Palma films that I had never be
Josh Reviews Justice League: Throne of Atlantis
I had read that DC was planning on creating a new continuity amongst some of their animated films (while still continuing to release some one-shot, stand-on-their-own films like Assault on Arkham) that would parallel the newly-relaunched “New 52” DC Universe in the comics.

Catching Up on 2014: Josh Reviews Wish I Was Here
I enjoyed Garden State, the first film written and directed by Zach Braff, when it was released back in 2004. I’m surprised it took Mr. Braff so long before making a second film. Wish I Was Here caused something of a stir when Mr. Braff funded the project through kickstarter
Catching Up On 2014: Josh Reviews The Skeleton Twins
The Skeleton Twins is a remarkably accomplished first feature film from director/co-writer Craig Johnson. (Actually, I guess it’s his second film, officially, as his thesis film True Adolescents was released as a feature, according to wikipedia.) I am impressed that this you
Catching Up On 2014: Josh Reviews Obvious Child
Sometimes an actor will have a role, small or large, in a TV show or movie that I love so much, that for me the glow of that work will follow them in my mind, making me always interested in their future work. And so it is that Jenny Slate’s role as Mona-Lisa Saperstein on [&he
Catching Up on 2014: Josh Reviews Locke
I am hard at work on assembling my end-of-the-year Best of 2014 lists, and as part of that process, at this time of year I tend to engage in a fun ritual of trying to catch up with as many of that year’s films that I missed but wanted to see that I can. Which […]
