Josh Reviews Elysium
I was blown away by District 9, Neill Blomkamp’s directorial debut (which he also wrote). (Click here for my original review.) That film — and Mr. Blomkamp himself — felt to me like it came out of nowhere. I was dazzled by its combination of visual effects spec
Josh Reviews Larry David’s Clear History
I don’t know why I didn’t watch Larry David’s HBO film Clear History the second it first aired on HBO. Maybe the generic ads, or the even more generic title, neither of which gave me any idea of what the film was actually about? But I knew I couldn’t resist
Star Trek Enterprise: Rise of the Federation
I thought the post-finale series of Star Trek: Enterprise books was finished. Written exclusively by Andy Mangels & Michael A. Martin (and, in the later books, by Mr. Martin solo), this post-finale Enterprise series had gotten off to a great start. They cleverly undid the stupid
News Around the Net
This is an old clip (it’s from 2012), but I just saw it for the first time and loved it: a revival of “Who’s on First” with Jimmy Fallon, Billy Crystal, and Jerry Seinfeld! This made me laugh a LOT. Ladies and gentlemen: Good Will Batman. This is an interes
Josh Ranks the Star Trek Movies — Part 2!
On Wednesday I began ranking the Star Trek films, from worst to best. Here is the rest of my list, numbers 4-1. These are, by far, my favorite Star Trek films. These films are not only head and shoulders above the seven other Trek films in quality, but all four of them rank amon
Josh Ranks the Star Trek Movies From Worst to Best
Quite a lot of websites picked up the story of how, at a recent Star Trek convention, fans ranked the twelve Trek films from worst to best. Badass Digest’s Devin Faraci wrote a terrific piece on the ranking, sharing his thoughts on all the films. It’s a hoot to read, a
Josh Reviews The World’s End
I feel like ever since the release of 2007’s Hot Fuzz, there have been rumors of a third cinematic collaboration between Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, and Nick Frost, a third and final installment in their jokingly-named “Cornetto Trilogy.” (Both Shaun of the Dead and
Grant Morrison’s Batman Epic Part 5: The Return of Bruce Wayne
My re-reading of Grant Morrison’s years-long Batman epic continues! You can follow these links to read my previous reviews of the last several years of Batman continuity: Part 1 of Grant Morrison’s run on Batman, part 2 of Grant Morrison’s run on Batman, Batman: The
Star Trek Websites Link to My Star Trek Into Darkness Cartoons!
In a pretty cool turn of events, my Star Trek Into Darkness cartoons (click here for the whole run) have been getting a nice amount of love from a variety of Star Trek web-sites around the net over the past few days! Trekmovie.com included one of my strips in their “Star Trek In
Star Trek Revelation and Dust
I have written often on this site about Pocket Books’ spectacular series of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine novels, that continued the story of the characters from that great TV show (the best of the Star Trek series, in my opinion), beyond the series finale. There were about a doz
