Is a TV-show adaptation of Brian Michael Bendis & Michael Avon Oeming’s wonderful comic-book series Powers finally going to happen? This project has been developed for YEARS, most recently at FX, but now it seems there’s a 10-episode order from Sony Pictures TV for P
Star Trek Voyager: Children of the Storm
I never much liked Star Trek: Voyager. It was always by far my least-favorite of the Trek TV shows. However, I’m quite enjoying Kirsten Beyer’s post-finale series of Voyager novels. (Click here for my review of Full Circle, and here for my review of Unworthy.) It
Josh Reviews The Monuments Men
Two of the films George Clooney has directed are among my very favorite films. I think his debut film, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, is probably in my top 20-30 films of all time. It’s a deliriously clever, mind-bending piece of work, with a dynamite script by Charlie Kau

There’s no doubt in my mind that Spike Jonze is one of the very finest filmmakers working today. Like most of the rest of the world, I was quite taken by his loopy first film, 1999’s Being John Malkovich (I can’t believe it came out so long ago — I need to fi
Josh Reviews Sherlock Season 3!
I fell in love, last year, with the BBC’s modern-day reinvention of Sherlock Holmes, Sherlock, when I watched the first two seasons on DVD. Starring Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch, the show is a dynamic, clever spin on the Holmes mythos. (Click here for my review of
Star Trek Voyager: Unworthy
In my opinion, Star Trek: Voyager was by far the weakest of the Star Trek TV series. I felt that the show never lived up to its premise (of the difficulties one lone starship would face, all on their own eighty thousand light-years from home), and even more disappointingly, I felt t
Badass Sunday Comics and the Jewish Comix Anthology!
I’m pleased that an “oldie but goodie” from Motion Pictures has again been included in Badass Digest‘s new feature, Badass Sunday Comics! This is a bi-weekly post that includes comics poking fun at a variety of movie-related topics. It’s a fun feature
Oscars 2014!
Well, the academy’s list of Best Picture nominees didn’t look much anything like my list of the Best Movies of 2013, but that’s to be expected! (For comparison’s sake, click here for part one of my Best Movies of 2013 list, here for part two, and here for par
Josh Reviews Philomena
Based on the book The Lost Child of Philomena Lee by Martin Sixsmith, the film Philomena tells the based-on-a-true-story of Philomena Lee (Judi Dench), an elderly Irish woman. Fifty years earlier, she became pregnant as a young girl and was sent to an Irish Catholic convent. She d
“World’s Greatest” — Mark Millar & Bryan Hitch’s Fantastic Four
After re-reading Jonathan Hickman’s run on The Fantastic Four, I decided to continue — moving back a step, actually — to re-read Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch’s 12-issue run on FF that immediately preceded Mr. Hickman’s taking over the series. I didn̵
