Josh Reviews The BFG
I adored the work of Roald Dahl as a kid, and The BFG was in heavy rotation for me for many years. The idea of a movie adaptation of that terrific book was exciting, and that it would be helmed by Steven Spielberg — probably the greatest director working today — was even
Josh Reviews Finding Dory
Finding Nemo was a terrific movie, great fun and deeply emotional. It came towards the beginning of an incredible run of original Pixar films that would go on to include The Incredibles, Ratatouille, WALL-E, and Up. I adore the universe that was created in Finding Nemo, and it al
The Great Hellboy Re-Reading Project Part XV: The Reign of the Black Flame!
My epic project to re-read Mike Mignola’s complete Hellboy saga from the very beginning has entered the home stretch! 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

OK fellow nerds, buckle up for a deep dive into geekiness here. Two weeks ago, I reviewed the wonderful Star Trek: The Ultimate Voyage CD, a recording of the concert series celebrating 50 years of amazing Star Trek music. That two-disc CD contained 30 tracks (15 on each CD) of Trek

Josh Reviews Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Season Two!
I adored the first season of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and so of course I was hugely excited for the second season. Thankfully it does not disappoint! The series was originally developed by Tina Fey for NBC, as a follow-up to her recently-completed show 30 Rock. NBC however, demon
Josh Reviews The Jungle Book
When Jon Favreau shifted from directing smaller character-based films (like Made) to larger, more special-effects-driven films, he at first did so with a strong attachment to using traditional practical effects over CGI. (I never saw 2005’s Zathura, but I well remember all of
50 Years of Star Trek Music: Josh Enjoys Star Trek: The Ultimate Voyage Concert Tour CD!
So, I love Star Trek, and I also love movie soundtracks. That’s just the type of nerd I am. So, of course, I really love Star Trek soundtracks. I’ve written about quite a few here on the site. I was excited when I read that, in honor of Trek’s 50th anniversar
Josh Reviews X-Men: Apocalypse
The X-Men film franchise began with such promise but it’s been a big mess for quite a while now. Bryan Singer’s 2000 X-Men film launched the golden age of super-hero films that we’re still living in. No one had ever before brought a super-hero team to life on scr
