Josh Reviews Isle of Dogs
I adored Fantastic Mr. Fox, Wes Anderson’s first foray into stop-motion animation from back in 2010, and so for quite some time I have been anticipating the release of his follow-up, Isle of Dogs, which Mr. Anderson wrote and directed. The film is set in Japan in the near futu
Josh Reviews Avengers: Infinity War!
Once again, the wizards at Marvel Studios have pulled off the near-impossible: seamlessly weaving together characters and story-threads from the previous EIGHTEEN Marvel Studios movies into an epic, compelling super-hero extravaganza that is fun, funny and heartbreaking in equal measu
Catching Up on 2017: Josh Reviews Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
I missed Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri when it was first released, but I was able to finally catch it right before the Oscars. I am glad I did. The film is a fascinating, funny, heart-wrenching character study about a group of flawed men and women in a small town in Missou
Josh Reviews A Wrinkle in Time
I loved A Wrinkle in Time when I was a kid. I remember I had a set of the three (at the time) books in the series by Madeleine L’Engle: A Wrinkle in Time, A Wind in the Door, and A Swiftly Tilting Planet. As I recall, I didn’t much care for A Swiftly Tilting […]
Josh Reviews Pacific Rim: Uprising
I wasn’t expecting that much from Pacific Rim: Uprising, and yet, the film still managed to underwhelm me. The film isn’t bad; it’s perfectly unoffensive yet instantly forgettable. I was super-excited for the first Pacific Rim, back in 2013. Any new film from Guillermo del T

Molly’s Game is Aaron Sorkin’s adaptation of the book Molly’s Game: From Hollywood’s Elite to Wall Street’s Billionaire Boys Club, My High-Stakes Adventure in the World of Underground Poker by Molly Bloom. Molly trained to be a competitive skier, but
Josh Reviews Black Panther
I know, intellectually, that Marvel Studios’ incredible streak of great movies is going to end sometime. It has to. No win streak can continue indefinitely. But it didn’t end this past weekend, as Marvel Studios released Black Panther, a fantastic addition to their
Josh Reviews The Cloverfield Paradox
I love both of the first two Cloverfield films. I think they’re both terrific, and underrated. (Click here for my review of Cloverfield, and here for my review of 10 Cloverfield Lane.) I was super-excited when I heard that a third Cloverfield movie was in the works, and I
