The Hobbit Wraps Principal Photography!
I don’t know about you, but the Lord of the Rings music in the Man of Steel trailers I posted the other day really got me jonesing for The Hobbit. And lo and behold, Peter Jackson & co. have posted another production diary — a glimpse at Comic-Con and the end of princi
The Man of Steel Rises
Our first glimpse of Zack Snyder’s new Superman film, The Man of Steel, has arrived! Here’s an alternate version, with narration from Jor-El (Russell Crowe) rather than Pa Kent (Kevin Costner): I prefer the Pa Kent version myself, though both are strong. This is a very s
From the DVD Shelf: Josh Reviews The Dark Knight (2008)
My excitement is building for The Dark Knight Rises, which opens today! I hope to be seeing it soon, and of course I’ll be posting my thoughts right here as soon as I do. In the mean-time, let’s continue my look back at Christopher Nolan’s previous two Bat-films.
DC’s Infinite Crises — Part Three!
My rollicking journey through several years-old DC Comics events continues! I’ve already written about Identity Crisis here and Infinite Crisis here, so now my attention turns to Grant Morrison’s 2008 mini-series Final Crisis. Final Crisis — Vastly superior to 2005
Star Trek Typhon Pact: Plagues of Night & Raise the Dawn
After far, far too long a hiatus, the Deep Space Nine saga has come roaring back to the forefront of the Star Trek literary universe with David R. George’s magnificent, epic duo of novels: Star Trek: Typhon Pact Plagues of Night and Raise the Dawn. It was the post-DS9 finale ser
From the DVD Shelf: Josh Reviews Batman Begins (2005)
With Christopher Nolan’s third and apparently final Batman film only weeks away, I thought it would be fun to go back and re-watch his first two Bat-films. Having seen so many great super-hero films in the years since 2005, it’s easy to forget just how impressive Mr. Nolan
DC’s Infinite Crises — Part Two!
The word “Crisis” has always had a special meaning in the DCU, something solidified by the epic, line-rebooting Crisis on Infinite Earths from 1986. When Brad Meltzer titled his 2004 mini-series Identity Crisis, I wonder if he realized that his use of the “Crisis&#
Josh Reviews Moonrise Kingdom
I know some people who don’t care for the peculiar stylization of Wes Anderson’s films, but I am an enormous fan of his work, and the arrival of a new Wes Anderson film is always a cause for excitement for me. I particularly adored Mr. Anderson’s most recent film,
Josh Reviews The Amazing Spider-Man
I went into the theatre very dubious about the prospects for The Amazing Spider-Man being any good. I adored Sam Raimi’s first two Spider-Man movies. I felt they captured the character of Spider-Man absolutely perfectly, and they were a heck of a lot of fun. Spider-Man 3 w
DC’s Infinite Crises!
I’ve been having a ball, recently, reading the last few years’ worth of Geoff John’s work on Green Lantern. Click here for part one, in which I discuss Green Lantern: Rebirth and the subsequent collections of Mr. John’s work on the re-launched Green Lantern c
