Days of De Palma (Part 15): Mission to Mars (2000)
My journey through all the films of Brian De Palma continues! (Scroll down to the bottom to see links to all of my previous reviews.) Following 1998’s Snake Eyes, a film with a poor critical reputation that I don’t think is at all deserved, we come to Mission to Mars,
Josh Reviews Vice Principals Season One!
I remember reading about The Foot Fist Way, the 2006 low-budget film directed by Jody Hill and starring Danny McBride. It got a lot of positive press and so I tracked it down and saw it during the film’s limited run in theatres. It was very funny and very uncomfortable. Th
The Great Hellboy Re-Reading Project Part XVII: Frankenstein Underground
My epic project to re-read Mike Mignola’s complete Hellboy saga from the very beginning is in its home stretch! Click here for part one, in which I discussed the very first Hellboy tale: the four-part mini-series Seed of Destruction. Click here for part two, in which I d
Star Trek: Force and Motion
Almost twenty years after the events of the fourth-season Next Gen episode “The Wounded,” (one of my very favorite episodes of Trek), Jeffrey Lang’s terrific novel Force and Motion catches up with the disgraced Benjamin Maxwell, former Starfleet Captain now working a
Late to the Party: Josh Reviews Better Call Saul Season One!
I started watching Breaking Bad on DVD right as the show was ending. There was so much critical love for that show, particularly in the months leading up to its finale, and I was eager to see what all the fuss was about! I thoroughly enjoyed Breaking Bad as I made my way through t
Days of De Palma (Part 14): Snake Eyes (1998)
A few years ago I decided to start watching all of the films directed by Brian De Palma. He’d always struck me as a very interesting director, one who had helmed a variety of very different films, and about whom there seemed to be a strong split in critical opinion. I knew t
Tales From the Blu-Ray Shelf
Not long after checking out the extended cut of Batman v. Superman (click here for my review on this “Ultimate Edition”), I decided to watch the recently-released-to-disc extended cut of Ridley Scott’s The Martian. I adored that film when it was released (and it wa
Josh Reviews Orange is the New Black Season Four
The fourth season of Orange is the New Black picks up right after the end of season three with the arrival of a large batch of new prisoners to Litchfield. The new prisoners, along with a new cadre of COs led by the military Piscatella, added a variety of interesting new characters
Josh Reviews HBO’s All The Way
The HBO film All the Way, directed by Jay Roach and written by Robert Schenkkan (adapting his play of the same name), is an in-depth look at the presidency of Lyndon B. Johnson. Specifically, All the Way focuses on the time between Johnson’s stepping into the Presidency follow
Josh Actually Doesn’t Hate the Extended “Ultimate Edition” of Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice!
So, yeah, I wrote a pretty scathing review of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and also of the DC follow-up film Suicide Squad. I wouldn’t have imagined that I’d be in any sort of rush to watch Batman v Superman again any time soon (or even ever). But when I read th
