Returning to Star Trek: New Frontier
About twenty years ago, I started reading the Star Trek novels published by Pocket Books. At the time, Star Trek: The Next Generation was on the air, probably in the second or third season. There were no other spin-off shows, and only four Trek movies. I’d seen those four
Arrested Development Lives! Josh Reviews Season Four
“I think movies are dead. Maybe it’s a TV Show.” For three wonderful, beautiful shortened seasons on FOX that aired from 2003-2006, Mitchell Hurwitz and an extraordinary team of writers and performers spun comedic gold out of the misadventures of the spoiled, selfi
Star Trek: The Next Generation Continues… (Part II)
Last week I wrote about the first two books in Pocket Books’ re-launch of the Star Trek: The Next Generation novel series, set after the final canonical on-screen Next Gen adventure, the (truly terrible) film Star Trek: Nemesis. Here are my thoughts on books two and three of t
Josh Kneels Before Man of Steel
I love Richard Donner’s Superman: The Movie from 1978, and for much of my life I thought Superman II was even better. (My preference has swung back slightly, in recent years, towards the original film.) Those two movies were a huge part of my childhood, and more than any Sup
News Around the Net!
OK, this is the greatest thing I have seen in a long time (BUT BEWARE SPOILERS IF YOU ARE NOT UP TO DATE WITH GAME OF THRONES!!!) I love The Princess Bride! I’ve completely lost faith in M. Night Shyalaman over the past decade, but that being said I still think Unbreakable is hi
The End of Geoff Johns’ Green Lantern Epic!
I came in very late to this party. Beginning back in 2004 with Green Lantern: Rebirth, writer Geoff Johns began weaving an epic outer space saga in the pages of Green Lantern. Not only did Mr. Johns completely revitalize and re-energize the Green Lantern comic book (returning orig
“If You Awaken That Beast… It Will Destroy Us All!” First Trailer for The Desolation of Smaug!
The first trailer for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug has just been released, and it is pretty terrific: Beorn! Bard! Legolas! Barrels out of Bond! And Smaug!! Can’t wait.
“You Know Nothing, Jon Snow” — Josh Reviews Game of Thrones Season 3!
It seems like the third season of Game of Thrones began just a few minutes ago and now, ten pretty terrific episodes later, it’s over and the long, long wait until next spring and the next season begins. Overall, season 3 of Game of Thrones was another phenomenal season of this
Superman Unbound
The latest DC Universe animated direct-to-DVD/blu-ray film has arrived: Superman: Unbound. Like many of these DCU animated DVDs have been, this new film is an adaptation of a great story from the comics — in this case, Geoff Johns, Gary Frank, and Jon Sibal’s reinvention
Star Trek Continues!
Well, Star Trek Into Darkness was a disaster (click here for my full review), but luckily there are still a lot of incredibly devoted, creative Star Trek fans all over the world keeping the fandom of Star Trek alive. I have written a lot on this site about the amazing fan-produced epi
