Josh Reviews the Animated Batman: Gotham by Gaslight
Batman: Gotham by Gaslight is an adaptation of the wonderful Gotham by Gaslight graphic novel from 1989 (written by Brian Augustyn and illustrated by Mike Mignola and P. Craig Russell). The story is set in a Victorian Era version of Gotham City, in which the vigilante Batman attem
Steven Spielberg Triumphs Again With The Post!
In 1971, the New York Times obtained a secret study prepared by the Department of Defense on the history of the United States’ involvement in Vietnam from 1945-1967. These documents demonstrated that a succession of Presidential administrations had been lying to the U.S. publi
Josh Reviews The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story
I’m late to the party on this one. I vividly remember all the hoopla surrounding the OJ Simpson trial twenty years ago, and frankly I wasn’t in a rush to revisit that tragic circus. And while I respect what Ryan Murphy has accomplished in television over the past decad
From the DVD Shelf: The Place Beyond the Pines
I didn’t see director Derek Cianfrance’s 2010 film, Blue Valentine, though I certainly read about it when it came out. (The film got a lot of acclaim, and also a lot of ink due to its NC-17 rating.) It’s a film I am interested in seeing one of these days, but for

Josh Reviews Batman: Under the Red Hood, the Latest DCU Animated Film!
I’ll admit, I had been starting to lose hope about the continuing series of DC Animated films, but Superman/Batman: Public Enemies was a step in the right direction, and the latest installment, Batman: Under the Red Hood, is even better. Under the Red Hood is based on the story-
Josh Reviews Dinner For Schmucks!
Hoo boy, this one was disappointing. I’m a big fan of both Steve Carell and Paul Rudd, and I thought Dinner For Schmucks had a premise that was so weird it seemed to promise good comedy. Rudd plays Tim, who is trying desperately to climb the ladder at the private equity firm a
Death in the Shadow of New Life — Josh reviews J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek!
It’s been a long road. After walking disgustedly out of the opening weekend screening of the catastrophically terrible Star Trek: Nemesis back in December, 2002, I knew that Trek was at a low point. It seemed uncertain what, if any, future the franchise had after the release
