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

From the DVD Shelf: To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)
After re-reading To Kill a Mockingbird last month, I couldn’t resist re-watching the famous film adaptation from 1962 starring Gregory Peck. I’d seen the film before, many years ago, but I hardly remembered it. After having devoured Harper Lee’s magnificent novel
