Josh Reviews Avengers: Endgame!
In yet the latest feat of I-can’t-believe-they-did-it, Kevin Feige and the team at Marvel have stuck the landing. Avengers: Endgame is a deeply satisfying, profoundly moving, and incredibly fun culmination to a decade-plus of movie-making. They have woven together threads an
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
Josh’s Favorite Movies of 2017 — Part Two!
Click here for part one of my list of my Favorite Movies of 2017! Let’s continue… 15. Coco — Once again, the mad geniuses at Pixar have crafted a film that is fun, visually stunning, and emotionally complex. The “hook” of the film is young MiguelR
Josh Reviews Spider-Man: Homecoming!
Sam Raimi’s first two Spider-Man movies are fantastic, and they deserve an enormous amount of credit for helping launch our current golden age of super-hero films. So I knew a good Spider-Man movie could be made!! But boy it had been a while. Spider-Man 3 was a huge disapp
News Around the Net
We’ve been getting some fun teases lately for Guardians of the Galaxy volume 2. (Great title, by the way.) This is a solid poster and the tag-line, “obviously”, is genius. And then there is this tantalizing new trailer: That hits all the right notes for me. L
Marvel Triumphs Again with Captain America: Civil War!
Marvel Studios is on a winning streak the likes of which I am hard-pressed to recall (the last decade of Pixar movies is the only thing I can think of that comes close) and Captain America: Civil War is even better than I had dared hope, an extraordinarily HUGE movie with astounding a
The Best Not Quite “To Be Continued” Endings of Franchise Films
One of my complaints about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was how much of the film was filled with shameless plugs for future DC Universe films. I am all for connectivity between superhero films, thus establishing a shared universe of story-telling. That is, in fact, one of th
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
Josh Reviews Chef
I’m a big fan of Jon Favreau the actor/performer, and I’ve also become a big fan of Jon Favreau the director. It’s easy to forget, now that the Marvel movies have become such a successful juggernaut, just what a minor miracle the original Iron Man was. That movie
Josh Reviews Iron Man 3!
Iron Man was a magical film, a movie that caught a very specific, crazy sort of lightning in a bottle. I remember seeing it in a theater that very first time and realizing immediately that it was something special. It was intense and bad-ass but also incredibly funny and light-hea
