Josh Reviews Her
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

“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
News Around the Net

Star Trek: Peaceable Kingdoms
Since the summer, Pocket Books has been publishing an interconnected five-novel Star Trek series, “The Fall,” which has brought to a head many of the story-lines that have been running through the Trek novels for the past several years. “The Fall” began with
Josh Reviews Justice League: War
I am thrilled that DC’s series of Direct-to-DVD animated films exists, and I always look forward to the newest release. That being said, there’s no question that this series has been very hit-and-miss. There have been a few spectacular films (like Batman: Under the Red
