Josh Enjoys a Double-Feature of Toy Story & Toy Story 2 in Glorious 3-D!!
Last week I had the pleasure of taking in a double-feature of Toy Story and Toy Story 2, re-done in beautiful 3-D. What a glorious time in a movie theatre! It seems that 3-D is really starting to be embraced by the studios. There have been a number of big 3-D releases in the past
Josh Reviews Julie and Julia
Here’s how not to get me excited about a film: start it off by trailers for Tyler Perry’s I Can Do Bad All by Myself, Roland Emmerich’s latest disaster flick 2012, Rob Marshall’s latest musical Nine, and about five other movies that you could not pay me enough
From the DVD Shelf: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Frost/Nixon, and Valkyrie
I know some people who can’t stand to see a movie a second time — they think “been there, done that, I’d rather see something new.” I certainly don’t have anything against seeing something new, but I’m also someone who loves seeing movies fo

So let’s get this out of the way: Office Space is one of the greatest films ever made. Just a phenomenal movie. Writer/Director Mike Judge’s second film, Idiocracy, was much, much weaker (although not so horrible that it deserved the way it was basically dumped direc
From the DVD Shelf: Josh Reviews Waltz With Bashir
I saw a lot of films in 2008 — but, of course, there were many that I wanted to see but just didn’t get to. (I listed several when I compiled my list of the Best Movies of 2008.) Of the films that I missed, the one I was most bummed about was Waltz With […]
From the DVD Shelf: Josh Reviews Diabolique (1954)
My wife borrowed the French movie Diabolique from her step-father, but after reading the description on the back of the case, which described the film as “an acknowledged influence on Psycho,” she decided that it would probably be too scary to watch. I, however, had neve
From the DVD Shelf: Josh Reviews Bottle Rocket (1996)
I walked into Wes Anderson’s film The Royal Tenenbaums totally unprepared for the idiosyncratic work of genius I was about to see. I had seen Rushmore on video a year or so earlier, but I’d gone in expecting a goofy Bill Murray comedy and so didn’t quite know what
Josh Reviews (500) Days of Summer
Romantic comedies are not really my thing. That’s not to say that I don’t enjoy movies that deal with romance. I often say that When Harry Met Sally is one of my three very favorite films (along with The Godfather and The Empire Strikes Back, if you must know). It̵
Josh Reviews the new Director’s Cut of Watchmen
Even before Watchmen was released in theatres, director Zach Snyder made clear, in interviews, that we’d be seeing his longer Director’s Cut released on DVD/Blu-Ray before too terribly long. Well, Watchmen: The Director’s Cut is indeed now available for all to see
Josh Reviews District 9
How many really great sci-fi films have there been in the last decade? It’s pretty slim, right? OK, J. J. Abrams’ Star Trek movie was pretty good… but before that? I can think of Cloverfield (2008), Children of Men (2006), Serenity (2005), The Matrix (1999), G
