Josh Reviews The Nice Guys
Shane Black has been partially responsible for quite a few movies that I have loved (boy, twenty years ago I thought Lethal Weapon was one of the greatest movies ever made), but it was 2005’s Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (which Mr. Black wrote and directed) that made me a forever fan of
Josh Reviews Catastrophe Season Two!
I absolutely adored the first season of Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney’s Catastrophe, so of course I quickly moved on to season two. Thank goodness, it’s just as brilliant, hilarious and absolutely filthy as season one. For those of you not in the know, Catastrophe tells
Star Trek…Lives?
As I have often lamented here on this blog, it’s been a dark time for Star Trek fans. The Next Generation movie series sputtered to a halt with the dreadful Star Trek: Nemesis in 2002, and there hasn’t been a Trek series on TV in over a decade, since the cancellation of
Star Trek: Ascendance
I loved Sacraments of Fire, the first half of David R. George III’s new Star Trek: Deep Space Nine duology, and I’m pleased to say that the second book, Ascendance, is a strong conclusion to the story! Ascendance picks up right where Sacraments of Fire left off. The craz
The Great Hellboy re-Reading Project Part XIV: Lake of Fire
My epic project to re-read Mike Mignola’s complete Hellboy saga from the very beginning is finally nearing its conclusion! 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 wh
Marvel Triumphs Again with Captain America: Civil War!
Marvel Studios is on a winning streak the likes of which I am hard-pressed to recall (the last decade of Pixar movies is the only thing I can think of that comes close) and Captain America: Civil War is even better than I had dared hope, an extraordinarily HUGE movie with astounding a
News Around the Net!
Let’s begin today with this: the single best joke told by every president, from Obama to Washington. Fox has greenlit 12 episodes of a 24 spin-off series, 24: Legacy. It’s hard to imagine my watching that since I didn’t make it past the first two episodes of 2014&#
The Best Not Quite “To Be Continued” Endings of Franchise Films
One of my complaints about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was how much of the film was filled with shameless plugs for future DC Universe films. I am all for connectivity between superhero films, thus establishing a shared universe of story-telling. That is, in fact, one of th
Josh Reviews Catastrophe Season One!
Amazon’s six episode series Catastrophe, which originally aired in the U.K. on Channel 4, is a concentrated burst of comedic genius, fall-on-the-floor funny and staggeringly profane. I loved every minute of it. The series was written by Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney, who also st
Catching Up on 2015: Josh Reviews Me and Earl and the Dying Girl
Back in December, before finalizing my Best of 2015 lists, I watched a ton of movies, trying to catch up on 2015 films I’d missed. I’ve been writing about them in this “Catching up on 2015” series of blogs, and I believe I have now finally arrived at the last
