Josh Reviews Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
I saw Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom well over a month ago, but I’ve avoided writing about it until now because my basic reaction to the movie can be boiled down mostly to: Ugh. I had a bad feeling about this film from the very first trailer. I love the original Jurassic Park,
Josh Reviews the HBO Adaptation of Fahrenheit 451
Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 is one of my very favorite books. The novel, written in 1953, is every bit as relevant today as it was all those decades ago when it was first published. When I first heard that HBO was working on a new adaptation, featuring Michael B. Jordan
Josh Reviews Incredibles 2
Back in 2004, Brad Bird’s The Incredibles was a revelation — an extraordinary animated film that was gorgeous and funny and moving. It was a major change of pace for Pixar (it was their first film with human beings as the main characters), and it was also, in the era bef
Josh Reviews Ant Man and the Wasp
2015’s Ant Man was a delight; a fun, relatively low-stakes romp in which Kevin Feige’s Marvel Studios team demonstrated yet again that they could bring an obscure (at least to non-fans) comic book character to gloriously vibrant life on-screen. The new 2018 sequel, Ant Man and t
Josh Reviews Solo!

Josh Reviews Tully
Tully marks the third collaboration between director Jason Reitman and screenwriter Diablo Cody. Their first film together, Juno, got a lot of (well-deserved) acclaim, but I liked their second film — Young Adult, starring Charlize Theron and Patton Oswalt — even more! It’s b
Josh Reviews The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling
I’ve been a huge fan of Garry Shandling for as long as I can remember. Mr. Shandling was a genius-level stand-up comedian, and he masterminded two of the greatest television shows ever made: It’s Garry Shandling’s Show and The Larry Sanders Show. It was Larry San
Josh Reviews Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay
In the latest direct-to-DVD/blu-ray DC Animated movie, Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay, we’re presented with the latest incarnation of the Suicide Squad. Amanda Waller dispatches her Task Force X (the “Suicide Squad”) to obtain for her a mystical “Get out of Hell
Josh Reviews Ready Player One
Steven Spielberg’s latest film, Ready Player One, is an adaptation of Ernest Cline’s popular novel of the same name. (Full disclosure: I have not read the novel, and so I will be judging Ready Player One fully on its strengths and weaknesses as a movie.) The story is s
