“Darling, it’s the very fastest way to send news…”
“Yeah I got you! I got you on camera! You on candid camera now! You ain’t know ‘dat!”
—Brenda Meeks, Scary Movie (2000)
Deep in the heart of pandemic times, Josh fostered his love for the marvelous magic of cinema by creating a humble blog to collect quick thoughts on film and television. Over the years, the website has evolved into a true multi-media one-stop shop: Josh At the Movies.
Initially, this project was started as a way to honor films at a time when theaters everywhere were shuttered indefinitely, and now it has grown into a beauty beyond my wildest dreams. One of the best parts of this journey has been in discovering the wonder of independent cinema and film festivals. Expanding one’s scope beyond the generic mainstream and into a universe of endless possibilities was not something previously planned. Who would have thought that this exploration would eventually blossom into accreditation for multiple major film festivals, fostering relationships with distribution companies, interviewing talent virtually and on the red carpet, and being quoted in official advertising!
These are my scatter-brained thoughts about film, television, and the theatre, all collected in one convenient place. I deconstruct every reel as Chief Film Critic, often looking for the positives as much as possible in everything, from quick reviews to in-depth analysis. I am constantly quoting movies, and always exploring any avenues to foster an ever-expanding film knowledge. Look out for an injection of personality and opinion in every unique piece. Don’t forget to support your local theaters. I’ll see you at the movies!
