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
Josh Reviews Don Jon
Don Jon is written, directed by, and starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt. It’s a great film and I love watching something that feels like a unique, singular voice (as opposed to the movie-by-committee sameness found in so much Hollywood product). This has been a great season for d
Batman: The Long Road Home
I’ve been having a grand old time, over the past six or so months, re-reading Grant Morrison’s years-long Batman epic, as well as many of the other Batman stories published around the same time, in the last few years of DC Comics’ pre-“New 52” continuity.
Josh Reviews Orange is the New Black Season One!
A few weeks ago, my wife convinced me that we needed to check out Netflix’s series (that was released over the summer) Orange is the New Black. I am glad she did, because we tore through the series’ thirteen-episode first season in just a little over a week, and I am thr
