News Around the Net
I really enjoyed this trailer for Picard, the new show in which Patrick Stewart will reprise his iconic role as Jean-Luc Picard: That’s a great trailer. Will the show be any good? Who knows. I’m dubious, mostly because I’m just not sure that Alex Kurtzman is th
Josh Reviews Spider-Man: Far From Home
While Avengers: Endgame was an epic, enormous culmination to the Marvel Cinematic Universe so far, it was actually Spider-Man: Far From Home that was the official end to Marvel’s “Phase Three” of films. (Kevin Feige just announced an exciting and weird array of fil
Josh Reviews Men in Black: International
I really enjoyed the first Men in Black film, made back in 1997. It’s not a perfect film, but it’s a lot of fun to watch. But none of the sequels have ever lived up to the potential of this series’ wonderful premise (of a secret group of men and women whose job i
Josh Reviews Toy Story 4
I have loved all three previous Toy Story movies. Toy Story 2 is one of my favorite sequels ever made, and I adored Toy Story 3 as well. The ending of Toy Story 3 felt like a perfect ending to the series, beautiful and heartfelt. And so I was a little nervous when Toy Story [&he
Star Trek: No Time Like The Past
I am having fun catching up on a number of Star Trek novels from recent years that I have missed. Most of these books that I had skipped reading are stand-alone tales from the Original Series era, and the first batch I have been reading have all been written by Greg Cox. I have qu
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

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
