From the DVD Shelf: Star Trek: First Contact (1996)
After enjoying the newly-released complete soundtrack to Star Trek: First Contact, I decided to re-watch the film itself. Star Trek: First Contact terribly disappointed me when it was first released (I can’t believe that was over fifteen ago!!). It’s grown on me in the
Josh Reviews the Newly-Released Complete Soundtrack of Star Trek: First Contact
There have been some very exciting Star Trek soundtrack releases over the past few months! Recently I have written about the complete soundtrack for Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, and the complete soundtrack for Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. I also recently picked up GNP
Josh Reviews Men in Black 3
It’s been ten years since the last Men in Black film. (Men in Black 2 came out in 2o02, and the first Men in Black came out back in 1997.) That’s a long, long time for a movie series to lie fallow. Is there an example of a sequel to a film franchise being released [&
In Praise of KHHHAAAAAANNNNNN!!!!
Earlier this month, the Alamo Drafthouse held an event I wish desperately I could’ve been at: as part of their Summer of 1982 series of events, they screened a 35 mm print of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. (This past June 4th was the thirtieth anniversary of the release of K
Green Lantern’s Light
When DC Comics rebooted their comic book universe with “The New 52” initiative, I was interested enough to pick up several new DC books that I hadn’t been previously reading. (For my initial thoughts on The New 52, click here and here.) Now that we’re about
Josh Reviews Prometheus
Sigh. I guess I’m just never going to see another good Alien movie, am I? Who’d have thought it would be so hard? Ridley Scott’s 1979 original seemed ripe for further exploration, not one of those movies that would be impossible to ever sequelize. And let’s n
“The Worst Ones Always Live” — Josh Reviews Game of Thrones Season Two
I have never read any of George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire novels. But I was hooked relatively quickly into HBO’s first season of Game of Thrones, and the masterfully crafted second-season, which just concluded, was equally enthralling. (I am a bit torn, now

Josh Reviews The Dictator
In his new film The Dictator, Sacha Baron Cohen plays Admiral General Aladeen, the deranged dictator of the made-up country of Wadiya. Aladeen has unparalleled levels of wealth and power, but a power-striggle with his trusted uncle and advisor Tamir (Sir Ben Kingsley) leaves him str
From the DVD Shelf: Mission: Impossible III (2006)
I really enjoyed the Brad Bird-directed fourth installment in Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible series (click here for my review), and that made me want to go back and watch the third installment. I’d really enjoyed Mission Impossible III back when it was released, and it
