Josh Reviews Nandor Fodor and the Talking Mongoose
Nandor Fodor and the Talking Mongoose stars Simon Pegg as the titular Nandor Fodor, a parapsychologist and author who investigated the paranormal. Nandor Fodor was a real person, and he really did investigate the stories of Gef (pronounced “Jeff”) the talking Mongoose on
Josh Reviews Truth Seekers Season One
I’m a huge fan of Spaced, the British TV show starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, and directed by Edgar Wright, that ran from 1999-2001. And of course I enjoyed the “Cornetto Trilogy” of movies (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and The World’s End). And so I w
News Around the Net — UPDATED with Bond 25 Title
UPDATE: The Title of Bond 25 has been revealed: It’s an OK title. A bit generic, but also sort of classic Bond sounding. I just hope this movie is better than SPECTRE, which I found to be heartbreakingly disappointing. Recently I shared the exciting news that Brandon Routh
Catching Up on 2015: Josh Reviews Man Up
Nancy (Lake Bell) is a single thirty-something who wants to find love but who, after a string of failed blind dates, is reluctant to continue putting herself out there. But when a miscommunication results in Jack (Simon Pegg)’s mistaking her for the woman with whom he has been
Josh Reviews The World’s End
I feel like ever since the release of 2007’s Hot Fuzz, there have been rumors of a third cinematic collaboration between Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, and Nick Frost, a third and final installment in their jokingly-named “Cornetto Trilogy.” (Both Shaun of the Dead and
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:
From the DVD Shelf: Mission: Impossible III (2006)
I really enjoyed the Brad Bird-directed fourth installment in Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible series (click here for my review), and that made me want to go back and watch the third installment. I’d really enjoyed Mission Impossible III back when it was released, and it
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 […]
A Steven Spielberg Double-Feature Part I — The Adventures of Tintin
Steven Spielberg has only directed one film since Munich (click here for my review) in 2005, and that was the tragically disappointing Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in 2008 (which I prefer to pretend never happened). That’s a long dry spell for one of the
Josh Reviews Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol (and the Dark Knight Rises Prologue!!)
I’ve really enjoyed all three Mission: Impossible films, though none of them quite reached perfection in my mind. Probably my favorite part of all three films is the first 30 minutes of the first one, where we got to see an awesome team of super-spies engaged in some really fu
