The Great Movie Drought of 2015 & Josh’s Want-to-See List
I watch a lot of movies. Not an absurd amount, but certainly more than the average bear. I usually get to a movie theatre at least twice a month, and watch lots of flicks at home on DVD, blu-ray or streaming. Unfortunately, I have been so busy for the past few months that I have
Days of De Palma (Part 11): Raising Cain (1992)
Slowly but surely, my journey through the films of Brian De Palma continues! (If you scroll down to the bottom of this post, you’ll find links to all the other Brian De Palma films I have watched!) Sandwiched in between two high-profile Brian De Palma films that I had never be
The Great Hellboy Re-Reading Project Part V: Plague of Frogs
I have recently begun an epic project: re-reading Mike Mignola’s complete Hellboy saga from the very beginning! What began as a series of sporadic mini-series and short-stories featuring the big red occult investigator has deepened over the past twenty years into what is, for

Josh Reviews Kingsman: The Secret Service
I was thrilled when I head that Matthew Vaughn would be directing an adaptation of Mark Millar & Dave Gibbons’ wonderful comic book series, The Secret Service. I adored the original comic, and I had loved Matthew Vaughn’s previous adaptation of a Mark Millar-written
Josh Reviews Star Wars Rebels Season One
The first twelve episodes of the first season of Star Wars Rebels were entertaining, good-not-great pieces of all-ages fun. The thirteenth and final episode of the first season was terrific and really made me sit up and take notice, and I started to get excited for the potential of
Josh Reviews Agent Carter: Season One
I had high hopes for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. when it launched last year. The idea of a Marvel TV show was of course of interest to me, but what really excited me was that, as opposed to the various DC Comics superhero shows over the years, this new Marvel TV show would be set in [&he
