New BluRay Releases


i missed posting these two 7/3 releases. 'barbarella' is fun and 'under the tuscan sun' merely has a certain charm, mostly because of diane lane, but not much else.



both are available from amazon. just click on the banner on right sidebar

Josh's Juke Box: Donna Summer

i ignored ms summer's passing earlier this year because she turned on the gay community after WE made her a success. in retrospect however i can't deny the voice, the music or the presentation. so here we go with two of my favorite summer's songs.

'macarthur park'

'state of independence'

On This Day of Independence

he has my back


and now


'The Star Spangled Banner'


Josh's Jukebox: Happy July 4th 'America the Beautiful'

Josh's Juke Box: 'Firework'



seems appropriate for this independence day.
from the soundtrack of my mind


and katy perry

Here's to the Red White and Blue


'1776'



perhaps today is the day to catch up with '1776'. or see it for the first time. it was better on stage but the film is still grand.

Glee's Whole Cast Returning, Chord Overstreet Possibly Becoming a Regular

Glee showrunner Ryan Murphy told Vulture of his fifteen series regulars, "They're all coming back. Anyone who is a regular is coming back. Everyone said yes." Now that news is being corroborated by several sources, with the additional info that Chord Overstreet, who appeared in season two, left, and returned for part of season three, will be back and may become a regular. "Lea Michele and Cory Monteith are among those likely to be in most if not all episodes," according to Deadline, whileThe Hollywood Reporter writes, "Michele, Monteith and [Chris] Colfer are poised to return as series regulars."

A confusing portion of the casting confirmation lies in the fact that regular and recurring actors may not necessarily see more or less episodes depending on their statuses. Along those lines, Murphy originally said to us, "It doesn't mean everyone will be doing 22 episodes, but everyone wants to stay in our family and our world." He added, "I wanted to make sure those actors know that if they want to have a home, they have a home. If they want to explore new and different things while also having a home, that is also an option."

Start placing bets on which cast members square off with already announced guest stars Kate Hudson, Sarah Jessica Parker, and American Idol's Jessica Sanchez ... and on who mysteriously drops out of stories while exploring their Murphy-blessed, Glee-less freedom.

'Magic Mike' ***stars


'magic mike' is so much more than the way it has been packaged, it is the story of a man. his journey. it sure has some great sights for women and gay men. no doubt. but the story behind these male strippers is real and heartwarming.

channing tatum is a charmer. he has the best smile on screen today. and he can act. when he is serious he has the intensity of a montgomery clift. in playing himself he takes a risk. the risk pays off. he is truly one of the best of his generation. if he makes 'smart' choices he will evolve and stay around for years to come.

the true find for me in this film is actress cody horn as brooke. as the love interest she sweetly shines.

go see this one. get a large popcorn and enjoy.

'Evita' Gets BluRay Treatment

new this week to bluray



the critics were not kind. the audiences seemed to follow their lead. i totally disagree. 'evita' was a fine film musical. it was beautifuuly filmed and scored. madonna did her best work to date on film, actually it is her only good work on film. that aside, you should rent or buy this in bluray. it is a musical feast. available at amazon (see right sidebar).
