The Tony Blair Trilogy Part III: The Special Relationship
Following The Deal (click here for my review) and The Queen (click here for my review), Peter Morgan went on to write a third film about Tony Blair, one that, like The Deal and The Queen before it, would also star Michael Sheen as Mr. Blair: the HBO film The Special Relationship. This
Josh Reviews Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 1
It picked up a little bit in the final third, with the episodes set after the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, but nevertheless it’s hard to characterize the first season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as anything other than a colossal disappointment. When the show wa
News Around the Net!
It’s interesting that the only two network half-hour comedies that I watch these days… happen to be run by the same individual, Mike Schur. He made his bones on The Office (where he also played Mose), and he’s one of the show-runners of both Parks and Recreation an
The Tony Blair Trilogy Part II: The Queen
I saw and enjoyed The Queen when it was released back in 2006, but I had never seen the other two films that Peter Morgan had written about Tony Blair (all of which featured Michael Sheen as Mr. Blair, and the first two of which were directed by Stephen Frears). Last spring I watche
Josh Reviews Son of Batman
Well, I have just about given up on these direct-to-DVD DCU animated films. There have been some great ones over the years (Batman: Under the Red Hood is probably my favorite), but the series has been very hit and miss. Since Bruce Timm’s departure as mastermind of the serie
Josh Reviews Noah — Part Two!
Yesterday I began my review/analysis of Darren Aronofsky’s Noah. Let’s dive back in! At the end of part 1, I was talking about how I enjoyed that Darren Aronofsky didn’t shy away from depicting the presence of God and miracles in his film. In talking about miracu
Josh Reviews Noah
Holy cow I was absolutely blown away by Darren Aronofsky’s Noah. Settle in and get comfortable, because we have lots to discuss as I attempt to dig into my reactions to this film. I thought my previous post, my analysis of the ultimately disappointing The Amazing Spider-Man
Josh Reviews The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Get comfy, folks, we have a lot to discuss with this one. When The Amazing Spider-Man 2 works, it works very, very well. There are aspects of this film that are truly amazing (pun very much intended). And when The Amazing Spider-Man 2 doesn’t work, and boy are there a lot of
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
