Josh Reviews Looper
It’s always a great delight to see an original sci-fi film. We were all excited for Prometheus this past summer, but while that big-budget, mega-hyped film was a dud (click here for my review), I was positively thrilled by Rian Johnson’s new film, Looper. The year is 204
Josh Reviews the BBC’s Sherlock Season Two!
A few weeks ago I wrote about the BBC’s excellent modern-day reinvention of Sherlock Holmes in Season One of their show Sherlock. When the credits rolled on the last episode, I quickly ordered season two from Amazon. Season Two is of even higher quality than Season One! With the
The Marvel Universe Phase 2 Begins as the Mandarin Strikes!
Behold our first glimpse at the post-Avengers Marvel Movie Universe! How spectacular is that trailer? It’s visually gorgeous, and it promises a dark, things-go-really-wrong-for-our-hero vibe. Written and directed by Shane Black (go watch his magnificent film Kiss Kiss Bang Ban

Batman: Earth One
“Earth One” is a series of new original graphic novels from DC Comics. The idea is to re-invent their characters from zero by re-telling their origins as if they occurred in our world, a world without other super-heroes. They launched the series two years ago with Superm
From the DVD Shelf: The Color of Money (1986)
After watching The Hustler (click here for my review of that 1961 film), I immediately had to watch Martin Scorsese’s The Color of Money. This has to be one of the weirdest sequels ever made. Released twenty-five years after the original film, made by a different director, sho
