Josh Reviews Dune
Frank Herbert’s Dune is one of my very favorite novels. I adore it and have read it many times. (Each time I read it, I feel like I inch closer to full comprehension.) I have a soft spot in my heart for David Lynch’s 1984 adaptation of Dune; it’s a terrible mov

Josh Reviews The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone
I adore the first two Godfather movies. They’re certainly on my list of my ten favorite movies. It’s hard to say which one I like better; they’re both masterpieces. I’ve never hated The Godfather Part III. A sequel made so long after the original films
Josh Reviews Mute, the Second Film in Duncan Jones’ “Moon Trilogy”
I was blown away by Moon, Duncan Jones’ 2009 directorial debut. It’s a fantastic original sci-fi film, featuring Sam Rockwell in a terrific leading performance. (Well, actually multiple terrific leading performances… watch the movie!) Unfortunately, I havenR
