Josh Reviews Treme Season 3
I find Treme to be so much better than pretty much everything else on television these days, so it was with great sadness that I watched the final episode of Treme’s ten-episode third season. (The show will apparently be coming back some-time next year with a five-episode four
Star Trek Cold Equations Book 2: Silent Weapons
I really enjoyed The Persistence of Memory, the first book in David Mack’s new Star Trek trilogy, “Cold Equations,” so I was very excited to move on to book two. In Silent Weapons, Captain Picard and the crew of the USS Enterprise find themselves entangled in a com
Josh Reviews Jack Reacher
I’ve never read any of the Jack Reacher novels by Lee Childs, so I didn’t come into the film Jack Reacher sharing the pre-conceived upset that many Reacher fans had at the casting of the very short Tom Cruise as the 6’5″ tank of a man described in the books.

Watching Django Unchained, the new film from writer/director Quentin Tarantino, I kept thinking to myself that I can only imagine this must have been what watching Blazing Saddles was like, back in 1974 when it was originally released. Both films deal with slavery and America’
News Around the Net!
Have you seen the fake Arrested Development shows that have been popping up around Netflix? (Mock Trial with J. Reinhold, anyone?) Brilliant!! I have long ago lost all faith in M. Night Shyamalan, but my goodness this trailer for his new sci-fi film, After Earth, looks terrific:
Green Lantern in the New 52!
A little over a year-ago, DC Comics re-launched their entire universe. Abandoning all of their previous continuity, they re-started all of their characters and re-started every one of their comic book titles with a new issue #1. In that first month-or-two of this new DC universe,
