Grant Morrison’s Batman Epic Part 6: Batman Incorporated
Back in 2006, Grant Morrison began writing DC Comics’ flagship Batman title. Now, seven years (and two title changes) later, Mr. Morrison’s epic Batman saga has concluded. Over the past six months I have had a heck of a time re-reading Mr. Morrison’s story from s
News Around the Net
This is fantastic: Tom Hiddleston (who played Loki in both Thor movies and The Avengers) doing a phneomenal impression of Owen Wilson, had Owen been cast as Loki. Check this out. West Wing fans! Did you see this clip of Allison Janney performing The Jackal on The Arsenio Hall Show
From the DVD Shelf: The Place Beyond the Pines
I didn’t see director Derek Cianfrance’s 2010 film, Blue Valentine, though I certainly read about it when it came out. (The film got a lot of acclaim, and also a lot of ink due to its NC-17 rating.) It’s a film I am interested in seeing one of these days, but for
Star Trek Titan: Fallen Gods
Star Trek: Titan has been a continuing series of novels, for the past several years, chronicling the continuing adventures of Captain William T. Riker, following the events of the final Next Gen movie, Nemesis, and Riker’s finally accepting a captaincy of his own. I have very
Josh Reviews Machete Kills
First of all, let me put your mind at ease. I know you were all worried, but even though Machete Kills represents a dramatic expansion of the Machete mythos, I promise that you will be able to understand all of the film’s complexities even if you haven’t seen the first f
Josh Reviews Gravity
I had seen and enjoyed director Alfonso Cuaron’s 2001 film Y Tu Mama Tambien and 2004’s Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, but it was 2006’s extraordinary Children of Men that made me a fan of Mr. Cuaron’s for life. Like so many, I have been eagerly a
Josh Relishes Listening to the New Collection of Music From Star Trek: Deep Space Nine!
Following last year’s release of the terrific collection of music from Star Trek: The Next Generation, I was flabbergasted to hear of the release of a similar collection of music from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. DS9 is my very favorite of the Trek TV shows, but it also feels l
Josh Reviews The Spectacular Now
I am a sucker for a good coming of age story, and this season has seen a couple of excellent ones. I was over the moon about The Way Way Back (click here for my review) and I was equally smitten by James Ponsoldt’s new film The Spectacular Now. It’s a beautiful, powerf
Late to the Party: Josh Reviews Breaking Bad Season One
I’ve been wanting to start watching Breaking Bad since it first started. I never watched Malcolm in the Middle, but it seemed clearly to me that Bryan Cranston was a great actor, and seeing him in a dramatic role was appealing. And as a die-hard X-Files fan, I of course knew
Star Trek: The Next Generation — Soundtrack Collection!
I have been loving the steady release, over the past several years, of the complete soundtracks for almost all of the Star Trek films. It is incredible to be able to listen to those wonderful Trek soundtracks in their complete and un-edited form. As a reminder that Star Trek has had
