Josh Reviews IT: Chapter Two
Stephen King’s It is a magnificent novel, complex and horrifying and wonderfully memorable. The novel tells two interwoven stories: of how the Loser’s Club discovered and fought a horrifyingly evil entity in the small town of Derry in 1957-58, and how they returned to the
Josh Reviews the Animated Adaptation of Batman: Hush
Back in 2003, Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee produced a twelve episode story in DC’s Batman comic book called “Hush” that was a year-long mystery, introducing a new villain to the Batman pantheon. The story was a big hit with fans and has remained one of the memorable Batma
Josh Reviews Brooklyn Nine-Nine Season Six
A little over a year ago, at the end of Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s fifth season, the show was cancelled by FOX. I was so sad to read that news! For me, it was a wake-up call as to how much I’d grown to love this show. I didn’t realize how much I loved Brooklyn Nine-N
Josh Reviews Better Things Season Three
Pamela Adlon’s show Better Things continues to be one of my very favorite TV shows currently being made. I recently caught up with season three, and it’s every bit as magnificent as I had hoped. (Click here for my review of Better Things season one, and here for my rev
News Around the Net — UPDATED with Bond 25 Title
UPDATE: The Title of Bond 25 has been revealed: It’s an OK title. A bit generic, but also sort of classic Bond sounding. I just hope this movie is better than SPECTRE, which I found to be heartbreakingly disappointing. Recently I shared the exciting news that Brandon Routh
Josh Reviews True Detective Season Three
Like many, I loved the first season of True Detective. The ending was a little disappointing (in that the many plot threads weren’t wrapped up as neatly as I’d hoped), but I thought it was a riveting, smart, adult drama. The writing was sharp, the directing was memorab
Star Trek: Foul Deeds Will Rise
For a while now I have been catching up with a bunch of Star Trek novels that I had skipped reading when they were originally published. With more books on my “to-read” shelf than I had time to read, I often found myself choosing to read the Star Trek novels that were se
Josh Reviews Jon Favreau’s remake of The Lion King
It seems like it was just a few weeks ago that I was writing about the live-action remake of Aladdin, and stating that I don’t see any creatively interesting rationale behind Disney’s current predilection for remaking so many of their classic animated films in live-action.
Josh Reviews Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Seeing Pulp Fiction for the first time in the theater back in 1994 made me a Quentin Tarantino fan for life, and so I have been eagerly anticipating the release of his ninth film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. A new Tarantino film as always a cause for excitement! I was not disa
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
