Josh Reviews Jurassic World
I was excited when I first heard about Jurassic World. I absolutely adore the first Jurassic Park. I think it’s one of Steven Spielberg’s very best films. (Click here for my thoughts on Jurassic Park’s 3-D re-release, and here for an earlier review when I was r
Days of De Palma (Part 12): Carlito’s Way (1993)
Slowly but surely, my journey through the films of Brian De Palma continues! (If you scroll down to the bottom of this post, you’ll find links to all the other Brian De Palma films I have watched!) As I have discovered, Brian De Palma’s career seems to unfold in waves. He
Josh Reviews Spy!
At this rate, I want Paul Feig and Melissa McCarthy to never stop making movies together. Ms. McCarthy killed in Paul Feig’s Bridesmaids, and then she stepped up into a co-starring role in Mr. Feig’s follow-up film, The Heat. In Spy, Ms. McCarthy and writer/director Feig
Catching Up! Josh Reviews Whiplash, The One I Love, and A Million Ways to Die in the West
I’m catching up with reviews of movies I’ve seen over the past several months! Onward: Whiplash (2014) — Every bit as compelling as I’d heard. Miles Teller first came to my attention in the excellent film The Spectacular Now (click here for my review), whic
Looking Back at Mad Max!
I am in almost physical agony that I haven’t yet seen Mad Max: Fury Road. I cannot believe that George Miller has returned to make another Mad Max film, THIRTY YEARS after the last film. And what’s more amazing is how spectacular it looks. I need to see this thing, a
Catching Up! Josh Reviews Powers Season One, Star Wars The Clone Wars “Bad Batch”, and Batman vs Robin

Josh Reviews The Avengers: Age of Ultron!
Marvel Studios is on a winning streak the likes of which I have rarely seen. (The only recent comparison I can draw is Pixar’s incredible run from Ratatouille in 2007 through Toy Story 3 in 2010.) Right before seeing The Avengers: Age of Ultron, one of my friends sent me a r
Days of De Palma (Part 11): Raising Cain (1992)
Slowly but surely, my journey through the films of Brian De Palma continues! (If you scroll down to the bottom of this post, you’ll find links to all the other Brian De Palma films I have watched!) Sandwiched in between two high-profile Brian De Palma films that I had never be
Josh Reviews Kingsman: The Secret Service
I was thrilled when I head that Matthew Vaughn would be directing an adaptation of Mark Millar & Dave Gibbons’ wonderful comic book series, The Secret Service. I adored the original comic, and I had loved Matthew Vaughn’s previous adaptation of a Mark Millar-written
Josh Reviews Selma
Selma, directed by Ava DuVernay, tells the story of several critical months in the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, leading up to the voting rights marches from Montgomery to Selma that took place March 7-25, 1965. This is a powerhouse of a film, absolutely riveting. The film wisely
