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
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&#
