Josh Reviews Suicide Squad
Following the disappointment of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, a movie that I found to be overly dour and grim and dull (and, even more problematically, filled with almost nonsensical plotting and paper-thin characters), I thought Suicide Squad looked like a breath of fresh air f
News Around the Net!
Let’s begin today with this: the single best joke told by every president, from Obama to Washington. Fox has greenlit 12 episodes of a 24 spin-off series, 24: Legacy. It’s hard to imagine my watching that since I didn’t make it past the first two episodes of 2014&#
The Best Not Quite “To Be Continued” Endings of Franchise Films
One of my complaints about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was how much of the film was filled with shameless plugs for future DC Universe films. I am all for connectivity between superhero films, thus establishing a shared universe of story-telling. That is, in fact, one of th
Catching Up With DC Animation: Bad Blood and Justice League vs Teen Titans
OK, quick summary: I fell in love with Batman: The Animated Series when it first premiered back in the nineties. Bruce Timm and Paul Dini forever defined Batman and so many of his supporting characters for me. I believe that Kevin Conroy is the best actor to ever portray Batman on
Rogue One and News Around the Net! UPDATED with Doctor Strange Trailer!
I suspect by now you’ve all watched the first teaser trailer for Rogue One, perhaps (like me!) several times: That’s a pretty terrific trailer. Not as instantly iconic as any of the magnificent trailers for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but still pretty great. It’
New Around the Net!
So, holy shit, I am seeing Star Wars: The Force Awakens a week from today! That a new Star Wars film, featuring the cast of the Original Trilogy, is so close to being a real thing that I can see, is incredible. I expected that someday there would be new Star Wars movies, but I [&h
Josh Reviews Justice League: Gods and Monsters
For many years, Bruce Timm was the mastermind behind Warner Brothers’ Animation’s wonderful DC Universe superhero shows. But in the past few years he has stepped away from the currently-running line of direct-to-DVD/blu-ray movies, to what I feel is the detriment of the
News Around the Net
This video is amazing. It’s a nine minute mash-up of clips from lots of great movies to create the notion that there is one bar in which a lot of famous movie characters meet up. Check it out, it is great (despite the mis-spelling in the opening title): How about that love for
News Around the Net!
This trailer for SPECTRE is pretty great: I am tremendously excited for the reintroduction of S.P.E.C.T.R.E. and Blofeld to the Bond films — for the first time in four decades!! — and I really hope they don’t blow it. This new trailer looks large-scale, and I am th
News Around the Net!
It’s Comic-Con in San Diego, and so lots of cool stuff has been popping up all over the web lately. Let’s take a look! I am a little dubious about Batman v Superman, but damn if this lengthy trailer isn’t pretty cool: I mean, come on, who ever thought we’d ac
