Josh Reviews the film 2010: The Year We Make Contact!
On Monday I wrote about Arthur C. Clarke’s magnificent novel 2010: Odyssey Two. After completing the novel, I couldn’t resist taking another look at Peter Hyams’ film adaptation, with the revised title of 2010: The Year We Make Contact. (It’s a film I had o

Josh Reviews the novel 2010: Odyssey Two by Arthur C. Clarke!
Last week I wrote about Stanley Kubrick’s film 2001: A Space Odyssey, as well as the novel by Arthur C. Clarke! I enjoyed both of those so much that I decided to continue onwards with the rest of the series of novels (as well as the film sequel). 2010: Odyssey Two is one of my
Lost Season Six So Far
I’ve been a fan of Lost since the beginning, and I have always been confident that the writers had a plan for the show, and that much of what seemed bizarre or unexplained at the time in the early seasons would ultimately be explained. Even in the somewhat uncertain 2nd &
From the DVD Shelf: Josh Reviews Homicide (1991)
One of my earliest posts on this blog was a look back through the films of David Mamet. One of the films I wasn’t able to review at the time was Homicide, because it was shockingly unavailable on DVD. Late last year, though, the fine folks at the Criterion Collection thankfu
Josh Reviews the novel 2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke!
On Monday I wrote about Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 film, 2001: A Space Odyssey. After re-watching that film last month, I was driven to pick up Arthur C. Clarke’s novel 2001: A Space Odyssey off my book-shelf to re-read that as well. I had read all four of Arthur C. ClarkeR
New Cartoons?
Sorry for the somewhat sporadic schedule of new cartoons, lately, gang!! My twin four-month-old daughters have been keeping me busy! I hope by next week to be back to our regular Monday-Thursday schedule. I’ve got a lot more Star Wars: Episode II cartoons coming, and I canR
From the DVD Shelf: Josh Reviews 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
I well remember my reaction upon watching Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey for the first time, many years ago. The star-child appeared, and the end credits rolled, and I turned to my brother and started laughing. “What the heck was THAT???” I had no idea
Star Trek: Titan (Book 3): Orion’s Hounds
Today I’m continuing my look at Pocket Books’ series of Star Trek: Titan novels, chronicling the post-Nemesis adventures of newly-minted Captain William T. Riker and the starship Titan. (Click here for my review of Book 1: Taking Wing, and here for my review of Book 2: T
From the DVD Shelf: Hot Fuzz (2007)
I consider Shaun of the Dead to be a near-flawless work of comedic genius. I’m not a fan of Zombie movies, but that didn’t stop me from falling head-over-heels in love with the bizarre, comedic creation of Simon Pegg & Edgar Wright. Shaun of the Dead lead me to see
