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

From the Mighty Marvel Archives: Avengers Assemble!
I’ve really been enjoying, over the past few months, dipping back into the archives of Mighty Marvel Comics to read some classic stories I’d never read before. As my anticipation for the Avengers theatrical film grew, I found myself drawn to a variety of stories from Ave
News Around the Net
Yes, this really is an enormous oil painting depicting The Death of Jennifer Sisko at Wolf 359. Love it. I’ve really been loving the first season of Lena Dunham’s HBO show Girls. For anyone out there who is similarly digging this weird, funny show, allow me to direct you
From the DVD Shelf: Out of Sight (1998)
Boy do I absolutely adore Out of Sight. It’s one of those films in whose world I wish I could go on living. There’s just something so magical about the combination of the script, the direction, the acting, and the whole tone that is created in the film. When watching O
