Josh Reviews Netflix’s Luke Cage!
Season one of Netflix’s Daredevil was a revelation. I was blown away by that gritty, intense, adult take on Marvel’s blind super-hero. Season one of Jessica Jones was just as good if not better: a riveting take on a character whose life was torn apart by a trauma and a
News Around the Net
So, I assume by now you’ve all seen this: Who knows whether the final film will be good, but that trailer is spectacular. There is some truly gorgeous imagery (like everyone else, I went crazy for that overhead shot of the enormous toppled statue of a Jedi Knight), which ̶
Josh Reviews X-Men: Apocalypse
The X-Men film franchise began with such promise but it’s been a big mess for quite a while now. Bryan Singer’s 2000 X-Men film launched the golden age of super-hero films that we’re still living in. No one had ever before brought a super-hero team to life on scr
Marvel Triumphs Again with Captain America: Civil War!
Marvel Studios is on a winning streak the likes of which I am hard-pressed to recall (the last decade of Pixar movies is the only thing I can think of that comes close) and Captain America: Civil War is even better than I had dared hope, an extraordinarily HUGE movie with astounding a
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
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’
Josh Reviews Season 2 of Netflix’s Daredevil!
I thought that the first season of Netflix’s Daredevil was spectacular, dark and complex and very adult, a triumphant declaration of intent for Netflix’s Marvel shows. Jessica Jones, the second Marvel show, was every bit as good, telling a wrenching story of a young woma
Josh Reviews Agent Carter: Season Two
I really enjoyed Hayley Atwell’s character, Peggy Carter, in 2011’s Captain America, The First Avenger, and I was thrilled when her character spun off as the lead of a TV miniseries last year, Agent Carter. That first season was solid though not spectacular. Ms. Atwell
Can Nicholas Meyer Save Star Trek a Second Time? And News Around the Net!
I was of course excited several months back when news broke that a new Star Trek TV series was in development for CBS All Access. I have loved many of the big-screen Star Trek adventures, of course, but Star Trek belongs on TV. Star Trek began as a TV series, of course, and the va
