From the DVD Shelf: Josh reviews Get Him To The Greek
I’m a big, big fan of Forgetting Sarah Marshall. That film really took me by surprise — it’s a very, very funny film, but also one that is remarkably endearing. The breakout star of the film was, of course, Russell Brand’s rock star Aldous Snow. Snow was a
Star Trek Typhon Pact: Zero Sum Game
David Mack is one of the best of the group of extraordinarily talented, reliable writers who have been writing new Star Trek novels for Pocket Books for the past several years. It’s the compelling work of these core writers that has kept me engaged with the novels’ expan

When I began this project of rewatching the last decade-and-a-half’s worth of films directed by Steven Spielberg, I was hoping that I’d discover (or rediscover) some great films that I had perhaps dismissed too easily when I originally saw them in theatres. I wondered i
