Josh Reviews Spider-Man: Far From Home
While Avengers: Endgame was an epic, enormous culmination to the Marvel Cinematic Universe so far, it was actually Spider-Man: Far From Home that was the official end to Marvel’s “Phase Three” of films. (Kevin Feige just announced an exciting and weird array of fil
Josh Reviews Men in Black: International
I really enjoyed the first Men in Black film, made back in 1997. It’s not a perfect film, but it’s a lot of fun to watch. But none of the sequels have ever lived up to the potential of this series’ wonderful premise (of a secret group of men and women whose job i
Josh Reviews Toy Story 4
I have loved all three previous Toy Story movies. Toy Story 2 is one of my favorite sequels ever made, and I adored Toy Story 3 as well. The ending of Toy Story 3 felt like a perfect ending to the series, beautiful and heartfelt. And so I was a little nervous when Toy Story [&he
Josh Reviews Godzilla: King of the Monsters
Godzilla: King of the Monsters is pretty much exactly what I’d expected it would be: fun but dumb. The film is a sequel to Gareth Edwards’ 2014 Godzilla. I enjoyed that film, though I didn’t love it the way many others did at the time. I thought it was a very wel
Josh Reviews Late Night
In Late Night, written by Mindy Kaling and directed by Nisha Ganatra, Ms. Kaling stars as Molly Patel, a young woman hired as the only woman on the all-white-male writing staff of a late-night talk. That talk show is run by multi-decade late-night veteran Katherine Newbury, played
Catching Up On 2018: Josh Reviews Holmes & Watson
In my “Catching up on 2018” posts, I review films that I saw in my busy end-of-the-year rush to catch up with as many movies from 2018 that I’d missed. Good lord! What is the behind-the-scenes story that explains this dud? Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly are both c
Josh Reviews Disney’s Live-Action Remake of Aladdin
Let me say two things right at the top about Disney’s new live-action remake of their animated classic, Aladdin. First, I’m just not sure I see much of any creatively interesting rationale behind Disney’s current penchant for remaking so many of their classic an
Josh Reviews Dark Phoenix
I still remember how thrilled and excited I was when I saw the final shot of Bryan Singer’s X2 back in 2003. Jean Grey had sacrificed herself to save the X-Men in the battle at Alkali Lake, and in that final, blink-and-you-missed-it shot, we saw a hint of flame rising from und
Josh Reviews the Latest DC Animated Film: Justice League vs. the Fatal Five
The latest direct to blu-ray DC animated film, Justice League vs. the Fatal Five, is a relatively small-scale adventure arriving on the scene without too much to get your average fan excited. It’s not an adaptation of a famous comic book story, and on the surface there doesn&
Josh Reviews the Amazing Documentary About Star Trek Deep Space Nine: “What We Left Behind”
On Monday night I had the pleasure to see, on the big screen, the extraordinary documentary What We Left Behind, looking back at my favorite of the Star Trek shows, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. The documentary was directed by Ira Steven Behr, who was the show-runner of DS9 for most
