Star Trek is 45 Years Old!
It’s difficult for me to believe, but Star Trek is 45 years old! On September 8th, 1966, NBC aired the first episode of Star Trek, “The Man Trap.” In celebration of Star Trek‘s 45th anniversary, I’m posting again this terrific video that was actually cr
News Around the Net!
Click here for a wonderful look at the films of the Coen Brothers. This fellow re-watched all of the Coen Brothers’ films (which sounds like a wonderfully fun project, by the way), and writes about his impressions of their body of work. It’s an impressive article, and
From the DVD Shelf: Fight Club (1999)
After re-watching David Fincher’s 1995 film Se7en (click here for my review), I couldn’t resist taking another look back at Fight Club. As with Se7en, I had seen Fight Club only once before. I’d really enjoyed it, but because of the violence and the extraordinari
Star Trek Department of Temporal Investigations: Watching the Clock
When Star Trek: Enterprise was cancelled after four seasons, it left several story-lines hanging. Many Star Trek fans, myself included, had been hoping that Enterprise would one-day chronicle the events of the Romulan War hinted at in episodes of the Original Series. (And, indeed,

Stephen King waited a long time — six years — between writing the fourth book in the Dark Tower series, Wizard and Glass, and writing book five. I didn’t take that long of a break, myself, but after reading the first four novels in the series last summer and early
From the DVD Shelf: Roger Dodger (2002)
In the biting, acid film Roger Dodger, Campbell Scott stars as Roger, a handsome, well-off, and very arrogant New York advertising executive who seems able to use his sharp tongue to talk any women he wants into having sex with him. One day his 16 year-old nephew, Nick (Jesse Eisenb
Star Trek: Troublesome Minds
Last spring I wrote a very positive review of the latest Star Trek: Phase Two episode, Enemy: Starfleet!, which was written by Dave Galanter. (If there are any Star Trek fans reading this who have not yet watched this awesome completely fan-made episode, you should do so immediately
Josh Reviews Cowboys and Aliens
Despite the silly title, I had pretty high hopes for Cowboys and Aliens. The idea of uniting Daniel Craig (James Bond) and Harrison Ford (Indiana Jones/Han Solo) is genius, and the film boasted a strong supporting cast, a solid director (Jon Favreau, who directed the magnificent fir
