Josh Reviews Kick-Ass 2
The first Kick-Ass film was something of a minor miracle. It’s hard to believe it actually exists. (Click here for my original review.) That anybody ever thought Mark Millar & John Romita’s profane, hyper-violent riff on super-heroes was suitable source material
Josh Reviews In a World…
Before I went to see In a World…, I knew who Lake Bell was. I certainly recognized her face from here and there. I had nothing against her as an actress, but mostly I knew her as someone involved in projects I had absolutely no interest in seeing (What Happens in Vegas, It&#
“Not Great, Bob!” Josh Reviews Mad Men Season 6
Yes, I know the sixth season of Mad Men wrapped up a few months ago already, but it’s taken me a little while to catch up with this, the penultimate season of the show. What a fantastic season of television. I have written before that I enjoyed Mad Men from the beginning, and
Josh Reviews Blue Jasmine
It was over thirty years ago when Woody Allen himself made reference to fans who preferred his “earlier, funnier movies” (in 1980’s Stardust Memories, to be exact, and holy cow I can’t believe how long ago that movie came out). There are a great many people o
Ben Affleck is Batman? And Other News Around the Net
So Ben Affleck will be playing Bruce Wayne/Batman in the upcoming Man of Steel sequel (currently titled Superman vs Batman). How about that? I have very mixed feelings about this announcement, but this isn’t coming from a place of being an Affleck hater. Quite the contrar
Josh Reviews The Heat
If I had just been considering it based on the plot description, The Heat is probably not a movie I would have gone to see. But director Paul Feig’s projects always have my attention. (Mr. Feig is the creator of the brilliant Freaks and Geeks, and most recently he directed t
Josh Reviews the latest DCU Animated Adventure: The Flashpoint Paradox
After the dreadful Superman: Unbound (click here for my review), I am very pleased that the latest DCU direct-to-DVD animated movie, Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox, is a very solid, entertaining adventure, one of the strongest DCU animated outings from the past several years.
Grant Morrison’s Batman Epic Part 4: Time and the Batman
I’ve been re-reading Grant Morrison’s years-long run on Batman. 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: T
Trailers!
Except for The Way Way Back, which I loved (click here for my review!), it’s been a pretty mediocre summer of movie-going for me, with most of the highly-anticipated blockbusters feeling pretty “eh” to me. No solution, then, but to look forward towards other films
Josh Reviews The Way Way Back
After a summer of moderately disappointing blockbusters, my favorite film of the season so far is a delightful little gem of a flick, The Way Way Back! I love a good coming of age movie, and in particular I am a sucker for films that focus on the specific sub-culture of kids taking su
