Josh Reviews Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
Well, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice isn’t the catastrophe that I’d thought it would be based on the terrible trailers, but that doesn’t mean it’s anything approaching a good movie. The film is fun to watch, in a brain-dead sort of way. Seeing Batman an
Josh Reviews Season 2 of Netflix’s Daredevil!
I thought that the first season of Netflix’s Daredevil was spectacular, dark and complex and very adult, a triumphant declaration of intent for Netflix’s Marvel shows. Jessica Jones, the second Marvel show, was every bit as good, telling a wrenching story of a young woma

Dear Paramount/CBS and Disney/Lucasfilm, Why Won’t You Let Me Give You My Money?
Dear Paramount/CBS and Disney/Lucasfilm: Hi! My name is Josh, and I’m a pretty big fan of two franchises that you each own, Star Trek and Star Wars. Now, I’m not a dress-up-in-costume-as-one-of-your-characters at a convention or movie theatre level of fan, but I am the

I really enjoyed Hayley Atwell’s character, Peggy Carter, in 2011’s Captain America, The First Avenger, and I was thrilled when her character spun off as the lead of a TV miniseries last year, Agent Carter. That first season was solid though not spectacular. Ms. Atwell
New Project in the Works and News Around the Net!
So one of the reasons that there haven’t been any new comics up on the site for quite a while is that I’ve been working on a variety of other illustration projects that I hope will someday see the light of day. One of them is a graphic novel proposal called Loved with th
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, […]
Catching up on 2015: The Death of “Superman Lives”: What Happened?
Back in the mid-nineties, Tim Burton came very close to directing a Superman movie, to be titled Superman Lives, that would have starred Nicolas Cage in the title role. This is one of the great cinematic what-ifs. What on Earth would a Tim Burton Superman movie have been like? W
The Dark Tower, Ghostbusters, and News Around the Net!
So, it looks like the long-gestating film adaptation of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower series is finally, actually happening! I am thrilled by the casting of Idris Elba as Roland Deschain and Matthew McConaughey as the Man in Black. (And extra points to Mr. Elba for his great
