Josh Reviews Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
I absolutely loved Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes! The film is a wonderful continuation of the venerable Apes franchise (which I dearly love); it’s a beautiful sequel to the previous three-film trilogy (Rise, Dawn, and War for the Planet of the Apes) and also the start of a
Josh Reviews Rebel Moon Part Two: The Scargiver
Why did I watch this? I am not a believer in “hate-watching”. If I am confident I’m not going to like something, I don’t watch it. (This is why I stopped watching Star Trek: Discovery; why I’ve never seen Iron Fist season two, or the last 3-4 Transforme
Josh Reviews 3 Body Problem Season One!
In China in the 1960’s, young Ye Wenjie watches as her scientist father is murdered by a mob during a public “struggle session” during the Cultural Revolution. Decades later, during the present day, Ye Wenjie’s daughter, the physicist Vera Ye, commits suicide
Josh Reviews Tales of the Empire
There’s an enormously enjoyable animated corner of the Star Wars universe that many Star Wars fans know little about, but which has given me tremendous enjoyment over the years. The animated Clone Wars show started off wobbly but turned into a wonderful show whose final four e
Josh Reviews Unfrosted
Jerry Seinfeld produced, directed, co-wrote (along with Spike Feresten, Barry Marder, and Andy Robin), and stars in Unfrosted, a very silly movie telling an insane, very much NOT a true story of the creation of the Pop Tart. I’m a huge Jerry Seinfeld fan, so I was of course inte
Josh Reviews Steve! (Martin): A Documentary in 2 Pieces
I’ve been a fan of Steve Martin for as long as I can remember. I probably started with his films, movies like Roxanne and L.A. Story and Parenthood and My Blue Heaven and so many more… and then found my way back into his standup, which was amazing. (As I got older, I d
Josh Reviews Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire
In Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, once again the two behemoths have to team up to take on a larger evil. A signal from the “Hollow Earth” (a realm that maybe is another dimension, or maybe is actually inside Planet Earth?) (Either way, it was discovered back in Godzi
Josh Reviews The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare
Guy Ritchie’s The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is (loosely) based on true events from World War II, only recently declassified (and detailed in the 2014 book Churchill’s Secret Warriors: The Explosive True Story of the Special Forces Desperadoes of WWII by Damien Lewi
Star Trek: I, Q
I haven’t been writing much about Star Trek novels on this site lately. That’s because I haven’t been reading many! I seem to have gotten somewhat soured on the whole enterprise (see what I did there?) after Paramount and Simon & Schuster put the kibbosh on t
