Catching Up on 2012: Josh Reviews John Dies at the End
As soon as I heard the title John Dies at the End, I knew this was a movie I had to see. That was well over a year ago, and at the time I didn’t know anything about the film or anyone involved in it. I just knew that the title was awesome and that […]
Catching Up on 2012: Josh Reviews Brave
Each year, in preparation for my end-of-the-year “Best Of” lists, I watch a lot of movies. It’s become a bit of a tradition here on the site that, after posting my year-end lists, I write a series of “catching up on insert-the-previous-year-here” posts,
From the DVD Shelf: Josh Reviews Layer Cake
I saw Layer Cake in the theater, probably because I loved Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, and so I was excited for another British crime flick, and because the great Colm Meaney (who I had grown to love because of his years portraying Miles Edward O’Brien on Star Trek: The
From the DVD Shelf: Josh Reviews Star Trek: Generations (1994)

The Top 15 Movies of 2012 — Part One!

Josh Reviews Zero Dark Thirty
