Josh Reviews Godzilla: King of the Monsters
Godzilla: King of the Monsters is pretty much exactly what I’d expected it would be: fun but dumb. The film is a sequel to Gareth Edwards’ 2014 Godzilla. I enjoyed that film, though I didn’t love it the way many others did at the time. I thought it was a very wel
Josh Reviews Late Night
In Late Night, written by Mindy Kaling and directed by Nisha Ganatra, Ms. Kaling stars as Molly Patel, a young woman hired as the only woman on the all-white-male writing staff of a late-night talk. That talk show is run by multi-decade late-night veteran Katherine Newbury, played
News Around the Net
I’m intrigued by this trailer for Ad Astra: I love sci-fi, and I’m always up for an original sci-fi story. This looks like it’s got a great cast, and visually the trailer is impressive. Here’s another trailer that has me intrigued: an adaptation of Doctor Sle
Catching Up On 2018: Josh Reviews Holmes & Watson
In my “Catching up on 2018” posts, I review films that I saw in my busy end-of-the-year rush to catch up with as many movies from 2018 that I’d missed. Good lord! What is the behind-the-scenes story that explains this dud? Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly are both c
Josh Reviews Disney’s Live-Action Remake of Aladdin
Let me say two things right at the top about Disney’s new live-action remake of their animated classic, Aladdin. First, I’m just not sure I see much of any creatively interesting rationale behind Disney’s current penchant for remaking so many of their classic an
Josh Reviews Dark Phoenix
I still remember how thrilled and excited I was when I saw the final shot of Bryan Singer’s X2 back in 2003. Jean Grey had sacrificed herself to save the X-Men in the battle at Alkali Lake, and in that final, blink-and-you-missed-it shot, we saw a hint of flame rising from und
Star Trek: Available Light
Simon & Schuster/ Pocket Books have been publishing Star Trek novels on a regular basis for as long as I can remember. (I believe their first one was The Entropy Effect by Vonda N. McIntyre from back in 1981, and they’ve been publishing Trek books consistently ever since.) B
Josh Reviews the Latest DC Animated Film: Justice League vs. the Fatal Five
The latest direct to blu-ray DC animated film, Justice League vs. the Fatal Five, is a relatively small-scale adventure arriving on the scene without too much to get your average fan excited. It’s not an adaptation of a famous comic book story, and on the surface there doesn&
Josh Reviews Atlanta Season Two: Robbin’ Season
I was a few years late, but recently I finally caught up with the first season of Donald Glover’s show Atlanta. It was every bit as fantastic as I’d heard! (Click here for my full review.) I didn’t waste any time before moving on to season two, which I enjoyed
Father Gaetano’s Puppet Catechism
Mike Mignola has been one of my favorite comic book artists for decades, and I have also fallen in love with his writing and storytelling skills through his Hellboy universe of comics, which Mr. Mignola has guided for twenty-five years (and which consistently tops my annual Best Comic
