Josh Reviews Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse!
Is it possible that I just saw the very best Spider-Man movie ever? I think I did! I have huge love for Sam Raimi’s first two Spider-Man films, and the recent Spider-Man: Homecoming was also terrific. But, my friends, I think we may have a new champion! The animated Spider
Star Trek: The Rings of Time
Looking at my “to-read” bookshelf a few months ago, I realized that I had a backlog of unread Star Trek novels from the past few years. Most of these were stand-alone novels set during the Original Series era. It wasn’t that I was uninterested in reading those no
Josh Reviews The Outlaw King
In Netflix’s new film The Outlaw King, actor Chris Pine reunites with 2016’s Hell or High Water director David Mackenzie for this tale of Robert the Bruce’s rebellion against the British in the 1300’s. The film opens with the surrender of several Scottish lor
Josh Reviews Andy Serkis’ Mowgli
I’ve been following the long path of Andy Serkis’ Mowgli to the screen for years, and I am delighted to have finally seen it via its home on Netflix. Mr. Serkis began developing this adaptation of Rudyard Kipling’s stories (collected in the book All the Mowgli stories
Josh Reviews Creed II
I am not a huge Rocky fan. I’d seen and enjoyed the original Rocky, but to this day I’ve never seen any of the sequels. I wouldn’t have expected that I’d even have gone to see a Rocky spin-off, let alone that I’d have enjoyed it. But I was blown awa
Josh Has Seen a SNEAK PEEK of AQUAMAN!
Over the weekend I had a chance to see a SNEAK PEEK of the latest big new DC Universe movie: Aquaman! While rumor has it that Warner Brothers won’t be continuing with this current iteration of the interconnected DC movie universe following the less-than-stellar reception of Just
Josh Reviews the Third New Star Trek Short: “The Brightest Star”
The third of four new Star Trek short films, dubbed Short Treks, has arrived: “The Brightest Star.” This short story presents a concise version of the origin of Saru, the Discovery’s Kelpian science officer played by the phenomenally-talented Doug Jones. The stor
Josh Reviews Green Book
Set in 1962, the film Green Book tells the story of the eight weeks that African-American jazz pianist Don Shirley (Mahershala Ali) and Italian-American Tony Vallelonga (Viggo Mortensen) spent on the road together. The out-of-work Tony was hired as Don Shirley’s driver, as S
News Around the Net! UPDATED with Avengers 4 Trailer!
UPDATE: The first trailer for Avengers 4 has finally dropped! First off: the title. Endgame. That’s… OK. Not a bad title, but it’s a bit generic. I think the phrase “endgame” is a bit overused in genre circles, and Dr. Strange’s line in Infi
Late to the Party: Josh Reviews Veep Seasons One and Two!
Julia Louis Dreyfus’s show Veep always interested me. I was, of course, an enormous fan of Ms. Dreyfus from Seinfeld. The cast looked great (Arrested Development alum Tony Hale’s involvement got my attention), and the political setting really interested me. But somehow, I ne
