Catching Up on 2015: Josh Reviews The End of the Tour
I missed The End of the Tour when it was first released last summer, but it was a top priority for me to check out when it was released on DVD/blu-ray. I usually watch a ton of films in December, trying to catch up on as many films from the previous year as I can, […]
The Top Twenty Movies of 2015 — Part One!
Overall, I think that 2015 has been a pretty terrific year for movies. Perhaps not as spectacular as originally predicted, though. In the months leading up to 2015, there were a flurry of articles about how 2015 was going to be insanely, unprecedentedly over-stuffed with exciting ne

The beginning of The Muppets, the new film starring Jim Hensen’s creations, presents us with a world much like our own: one in which the Muppets have been pretty much forgotten, passed over in favor of more modern sources of entertainment. Beseeched to get the gang back togeth
Josh Reviews I Love You, Man!
In I Love You, Man, Paul Rudd plays Peter Klaven, an LA real estate agent who discovers, after getting engaged to his girlfriend Zooey (Rashida Jones), that he doesn’t really have any male friends he could ask to be his groomsmen. With some help from Zooey and his brother Robb
Seen any good movies lately?
I made a comment in my 1st blog entry for the site (on April 15th) about our being in the midst of a movie dead-zone currently. Has anyone else noticed this? There are a lot of exciting summer movies just over the horizon (things kick off with Iron Man in just two weeks)…but its
