Josh Reviews Doctor Strange
In Doctor Strange, Benedict Cumberbatch plays the incredibly skilled, and incredibly arrogant, neurosurgeon Dr. Stephen Strange. Strange is at the top of his field and he knows it. But his privileged life falls apart after a terrible car accident leaves him unable to use his hands
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
