Josh Reviews Wrath of Man
Wrath of Man is the latest film directed by Guy Ritchie. Jason Statham stars as the man nicknamed “H,” a security guard for an armored truck company. In the film’s opening sequence, we see a group of armed men attack and rob one of the company’s trucks, lea
Josh Reviews The Suicide Squad
Five years after the first disappointing Suicide Squad film from DC/Warner Brothers comes another attempt at the property, the similarly-titled The Suicide Squad, written and directed by James Gunn. It’s sort of crazy to me that DC/Warner Brothers can’t or won’t ma
Josh Reviews Batman: Soul of the Dragon
Batman: Soul of the Dragon is one of the most interesting DC animated direct-to-DVD/blu-ray films to come down the pike in the past several years. This out of continuity story features Bruce Wayne/Batman and other (relatively obscure) DC characters in a 1970’s style martial a

Josh Reviews The New Mutants
The New Mutants film, directed by Josh Boone and written by Mr. Boone and Knate Lee, was originally filmed back in 2017. It was meant to be a spin-off of Fox’s X-Men film series, telling the story of a group of teenagers trapped in a hospital for young mutants whose powers ar
Josh Reviews Godzilla vs. Kong
Well, I have to admit to at least being somewhat impressed that the folks at Legendary powered through and made their monster-movie crossover, despite the somewhat lackluster box office performance of the previous movies in the series. For myself, I thought Gareth Edwards’ 201
Josh Reviews On the Rocks
Sofia Coppola’s latest film, On the Rocks, stars Rashida Jones as Laura, a woman who begins to suspect that her husband Dean (Marlon Wayans) is cheating on her. So Laura enlists the aid of her wealthy, playboy-like father, Felix, to track Dean and get to the bottom of what’s goi
