Here’s a fascinating/hilarious article assessing the Ghostbusters‘ Risky Business Plan. Those of you in finance, take note! And, speaking of Ghostbusters, here’s a link to 50 Reasons Why Ghostbusters Just Might Be The Greatest Film of All Time. Terminator: The Sa
Josh Reviews Star Trek: Voyager “Full Circle”
I can’t believe I actually purchased a book with Star Trek: Voyager in the title! (For those of you just tuning in, despite my intense love for Star Trek, I have a rather large amount of disdain for Voyager, the most boring and uninspired of the Trek series.) And even more t
Josh Reviews Year One
I love Harold Ramis. For his performance as Egon Spengler in Ghostbusters (and Ghostbusters 2) alone, the man deserves to be recognized as a comic genius. When you also consider his involvement in films such as Animal House, Caddyshack, Stripes, Groundhog Day, Anaylze This, and so
After “All Good Things” — Josh continues his review of The Sky’s the Limit!
Yesterday I began reviewing a collection of short-stories entitled The Sky’s the Limit, which was part of Pocket Books’ 20th anniversary salute to Star Trek: The Next Generation. In my last post, I reviewed the stories set during the run of the Next Gen TV show. Toda
Twenty Years of Next Gen!! Josh Reviews The Sky’s The Limit
2007 was, believe it or not, the TWENTIETH anniversary of the launch of the very first Star Trek spin-off, Star Trek: The Next Generation. The pilot episode, “Encounter at Farpoint,” is terribly clunky when looked at today, but as a kid watching that very first episode I
Attack of the Phantom! Josh has seen a brilliant fan edit of Star Wars: Episode II!
Earlier this year I wrote about The Phantom Edit of Star Wars: Episode I. Michael Nichols was a fan of Star Wars who, like sane people world-wide, was tremendously disappointed with Episode I when it was released in 1999. While the rest of us just whined to our friends, Mr. Nichol
A Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen F.A.Q.
Was I too gentle on the staggeringly mediocre Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen in my review of the film on Friday? After reading this extraordinary evisceration of the movie, every single point of which I agree with, I am beginning to think I was! If you’ve seen the movie,
Out of Energon: Josh Reviews Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
I was pretty forgiving when I saw Michael Bay’s first Transformers movie in theatres for the first time, two summers ago. Sure, it had its flaws, but nevertheless it was just an enormous amount of fun to see a live-action Transformers movie realized, complete with amazing over
From the DVD Shelf: The Color Purple
The Color Purple, released in 1985, finds director Steven Spielberg at an interesting point in his career. After having directed the first two Indiana Jones films as well at E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial in the early eighties, Spielberg apparently had a desire to move towards more wei
Geeks, Nerds, and John Hodgman
I posted a link to this on Friday, but in case you missed it, this is a must-watch:
