Josh Reviews This is the End
In This is the End, Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, Craig Robinson, James Franco, Jonah Hill, and Danny McBride play themselves, attending a housewarming party at James Franco’s new home, a party this is unfortunately interrupted by, well, the end of the world. Co-written and co-di
Catching Up on 2012: Take This Waltz
I went into Take This Waltz knowing full well that this wasn’t going to be the usual kind of Seth Rogen film. Frankly, I was excited by that idea! I have been a big fan of Seth Rogen since his work as a young kid on Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared. And while I haven’
News Around the Net!
Have you seen the fake Arrested Development shows that have been popping up around Netflix? (Mock Trial with J. Reinhold, anyone?) Brilliant!! I have long ago lost all faith in M. Night Shyamalan, but my goodness this trailer for his new sci-fi film, After Earth, looks terrific:
The Top 15 Movies of 2011 — Part One!
So last year I really struggled to come up with my Top 10 Movies list. I had a hard time finding ten films that I felt were really GREAT. What a difference a year makes! This year there were so many films that I loved that I wanted to include on my list that, for […]
Josh Reviews 50/50
In 50/50, Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays Adam, a young man who is diagnosed with cancer. (His physician gives him a 50/50 chance of survival, hence the title of the film.) While his relationship with his girlfriend Rachael (Bryce Dallas Howard) is rocked by this news, Adam finds surpr
Josh Reviews Paul!
It seems to me like Paul, the new film from Simon Pegg & Nick Frost, has been flying far under the radar. That’s too bad, because the two men (who, along with Edward Wright, were responsible for Spaced, Shaun of the Dead, and Hot Fuzz) just might be the finest comedy duo w
Josh Reviews The Green Hornet
Some movies are so bad that they are soul-crushingly painful. It kills me when I sit down in a movie theatre with great hope and anticipation for a new film, only to watch my dreams slowly shatter as the turd-on-film unfolds. I’m not talking about films that disappoint, I
Summer Movie Catch-Up: Josh Reviews Funny People
I read somewhere a reviewer refer to Judd Apatow’s new film, Funny People, as his “James L. Brooks movie.” Well, if James L. Brooks isn’t making James L. Brooks movies anymore (his last film was 2004’s Spanglish, which not coincidentally was also the la
Josh Reviews Observe and Report
About two-thirds of the way through Observe and Report, the new film written and directed by Jody Hill (who also wrote & directed the criminally under-seen The Foot-Fist Way), one character observes to another: “I thought this would be funny, but it’s just kinda sad.&#
Kevin Smith and Seth Rogen Make a Pretty Great Movie
In the new comedy Zack and Miri Make a Porno, we witness the interesting collision of two comedy worlds. Kevin Smith has been making raunchy comedies since his black-and-white, made-for-no-money-whatsoever debut film Clerks. Although his subsequent films (Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogm
