Will Ferrell Sings the Star Trek Theme Song!
This is a must-watch, my friends. Thank me later.
From the DVD Shelf: Insomnia (2002)
There’s no question in my mind that Christopher Nolan is one of the best directors working today. There’s only one of his films that I haven’t seen (his first — Following — and I do hope to remedy that situation soon), and I have thoroughly enjoyed ever
News Around the Net!
The casting announcements have been coming fast and furious for the new Spider-Man film, but I just can’t muster up much excitement. I simply think it’s a terrible idea to re-boot the Spider-Man franchise, which felt to me like it still had a ton of gas in the tank (desp
Spielberg in the Aughts: Minority Report (2002)
When I first saw Steven Spielberg’s film Minority Report in theatres back in 2002 (the only time I’d seen the film until I watched it again on DVD last week), I remember it becoming startlingly clear to me that the man has trouble with the endings of his films. I recogn

“No force on Earth or Heaven could get me on that island” — Josh takes a look back at Jurassic Park III

Great Scott!! Josh is Blown Away by the 25th Anniversary Screening of Back to the Future!
In celebration of the film’s 25th anniversary (and also, not coincidentally, to promote yesterday’s release of the trilogy on blu-ray), movie theatres across this great nation of ours screened Back to the Future this past Monday night. I’m thrilled to say that I ha
Ex Machina #50
Yesterday I wrote about the wonderfully intelligent, compelling comic-book series Ex Machina. Last month, series creators Brian K. Vaughan and Tony Harris unveiled the series’ final issue: number 50. So what did I think of it? (I’ll try to be vague about the details, but
