Planetary!
With the release of the long, long, looooong-awaited (the last issue was published in 2006!!) 27th and final issue of Warren Ellis and John Cassiday’s comic book series Planetary last month, I took the opportunity to re-read the entire series from start to finish. This only re
Josh Reviews Capitalism: A Love Story
Michael Moore’s latest film, Capitalism: A Love Story, starts off strong. The film juxtaposes narration from a movie about the fall of the Roman Empire with images of the United States of America from the last year and a half. Moore’s point is clear. It is hardly surpr

EZ Viewing IV: A Mighty Wind
The third film we screened at EZ Viewing IV was A Mighty Wind. A Mighty Wind is another fine film that I have a distinct memory of seeing for the first time (when I caught a sneak peek here in Boston) – although I have seen it many, many times subsequently!! Businessman Jonathan Ste
EZ Viewing IV: Star Wars & Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels
The first two films shown at EZ Viewing IV (my annual movie marathon) were: Star Wars: A New Hope — The Adywan Fan-Edit and Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels. What is the Adywan Fan-Edit of Star Wars? It is, bar none, the very best version of the first Star Wars film (I ref
