Josh Reviews Creed II
I am not a huge Rocky fan. I’d seen and enjoyed the original Rocky, but to this day I’ve never seen any of the sequels. I wouldn’t have expected that I’d even have gone to see a Rocky spin-off, let alone that I’d have enjoyed it. But I was blown awa
Josh Has Seen a SNEAK PEEK of AQUAMAN!
Over the weekend I had a chance to see a SNEAK PEEK of the latest big new DC Universe movie: Aquaman! While rumor has it that Warner Brothers won’t be continuing with this current iteration of the interconnected DC movie universe following the less-than-stellar reception of Just
Josh Reviews Green Book
Set in 1962, the film Green Book tells the story of the eight weeks that African-American jazz pianist Don Shirley (Mahershala Ali) and Italian-American Tony Vallelonga (Viggo Mortensen) spent on the road together. The out-of-work Tony was hired as Don Shirley’s driver, as S
Josh Reviews Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald
I quite liked the first Fantastic Beasts film. I enjoyed being back in the world of Harry Potter (what has now been dubbed “The Wizarding World”), and I thought the film was fun if a little slight. (It was a gentler, more meandering tale than the last few Harry Potter
Josh Reviews First Man
I’m a nut for science fiction as well as science fact — and so I was instantly excited when I heard that Damien Chazelle (Whiplash, La La Land) was directing First Man, a film telling the story of Neil Armstrong’s first landing on the moon. The film’s trailer
Josh Reviews Annihilation
I have a huge amount of love for Alex Garland’s directorial debut, Ex Machina, which he also wrote. If you haven’t seen that film, I exhort you to track it down immediately. It’s a riveting piece of speculative fiction, with extraordinary performances by Alicia V
Josh Reviews Won’t You Be My Neighbor?
Perhaps the best movie I saw this past summer was Morgan Neville’s wonderful look at the life and work of Fred Rogers, Won’t You Be My Neighbor? Like so many of my generation, I grew up watching Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood. The moral and life lessons of Fred Rogers
Josh Reviews The Predator
I’m an optimist, and someday I hope to see a new, truly great Star Trek movie in the theatres. Someday, I hope to see a new, truly great Alien movie in the theatres. And someday, I hope to see a new, truly great Predator movie in the theatres. This sure as heck ain’t i
Josh Reviews The Death of Superman Animated Film
Back in 2007, when DC/Warner Brothers began their series of direct-to-DVD animated films, the first project they tackled was an adaptation of the 1992-93 “Death of Superman” storyline from the comics. That animated film, Superman: Doomsday, was very entertaining and stil
Josh Reviews Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind
The new HBO documentary, Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind, is a fascinating and funny look back at the life and career of Robin Williams. If you’re a fan of comedy, and/or the work of Mr. Williams, I can’t imagine your not enjoying this film from director Marina Zen
