Star Wars Casting and News Around the Net
So… has there been some Star Wars news this week…? Well, let me just say this, which I’m sure I’ll be repeating over and over again ad nauseam between now and Dec 18, 2015. I would love nothing more than to see a great new Star Wars movie in a theatre at some
Star Trek Voyager: Protectors
I’ve had a fun over the last month or two, catching up with all of Kirsten Beyer’s Star Trek Voyager novels that take the characters of that show forward from the events of the TV series’ finale. As I have repeatedly mentioned, Voyager is my least favorite of the T
Milius
Directed by Zak Knutson and Joey Figueroa, the new documentary Milius shines a spotlight on a fascinating character, the screenwriter and director John Milius. In the seventies, Milius was part of a tight group of friends and filmmakers — including George Lucas, Francis Ford C
Josh Reviews The Grand Budapest Hotel
Ever since seeing The Royal Tenenbaums in theatres and being absolutely blown away, I’ve been a big fan of Wes Anderson. Over the last few years, the filmmaker has been on a particularly special, can’t-do-any-wrong winning streak. I thought Fantastic Mr. Fox was his st
Cerebus the Barbarian Messiah
Cerebus the Barbarian Messiah: Essays on the Epic Graphic Satire of Dave Sim and Gerhard is exactly what the book’s title promises. It’s a collection of essays by different authors, attempting to take a serious, scholarly look at various aspects of Cerebus, Dave Sim &
News Around the Net
This “Modern Seinfeld” twitter feed is pretty amusing. I guess the premise is these guys are coming up with Seinfeld ideas, if the show was being made today. This one really made me laugh: George gets dumped for being a “toilet texter.” GEORGE: “What

Star Trek Voyager: The Eternal Tide
This Star Trek Voyager novel, The Eternal Tide, is one I’d been dreading. To my huge shock, I’ve found myself quite enjoying Kirsten Beyer’s post-finale series of Star Trek Voyager novels (click here for my review of Full Circle, here for my review of Unworthy, and h
Josh Reviews the Final Episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Shockingly, the animated TV show Star Wars: The Clone Wars has, over the years, grown into a pretty terrific show and a fascinating expansion of the Star Wars saga. When the animated film was released to theatres back in 2008, I skipped it. I was totally soured on the prequels, an
Catching Up on 2013: The Bling Ring
Written and directed by Sofia Coppola, The Bling Ring is loosely based on the true story of a group of California teenagers who, in 2008-09, robbed the homes of a number of Hollywood celebrities including Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Rachel Bilson, and others. Marc is a quiet boy, a n
