Josh Ranks the Star Trek Movies — Part 2!
On Wednesday I began ranking the Star Trek films, from worst to best. Here is the rest of my list, numbers 4-1. These are, by far, my favorite Star Trek films. These films are not only head and shoulders above the seven other Trek films in quality, but all four of them rank amon
Josh Ranks the Star Trek Movies From Worst to Best
Quite a lot of websites picked up the story of how, at a recent Star Trek convention, fans ranked the twelve Trek films from worst to best. Badass Digest’s Devin Faraci wrote a terrific piece on the ranking, sharing his thoughts on all the films. It’s a hoot to read, a
Josh Reviews The World’s End
I feel like ever since the release of 2007’s Hot Fuzz, there have been rumors of a third cinematic collaboration between Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, and Nick Frost, a third and final installment in their jokingly-named “Cornetto Trilogy.” (Both Shaun of the Dead and
Josh Reviews Kick-Ass 2
The first Kick-Ass film was something of a minor miracle. It’s hard to believe it actually exists. (Click here for my original review.) That anybody ever thought Mark Millar & John Romita’s profane, hyper-violent riff on super-heroes was suitable source material
Josh Reviews In a World…
Before I went to see In a World…, I knew who Lake Bell was. I certainly recognized her face from here and there. I had nothing against her as an actress, but mostly I knew her as someone involved in projects I had absolutely no interest in seeing (What Happens in Vegas, It&#
Josh Reviews Blue Jasmine
It was over thirty years ago when Woody Allen himself made reference to fans who preferred his “earlier, funnier movies” (in 1980’s Stardust Memories, to be exact, and holy cow I can’t believe how long ago that movie came out). There are a great many people o
Josh Reviews The Heat
If I had just been considering it based on the plot description, The Heat is probably not a movie I would have gone to see. But director Paul Feig’s projects always have my attention. (Mr. Feig is the creator of the brilliant Freaks and Geeks, and most recently he directed t
Josh Reviews The Way Way Back
After a summer of moderately disappointing blockbusters, my favorite film of the season so far is a delightful little gem of a flick, The Way Way Back! I love a good coming of age movie, and in particular I am a sucker for films that focus on the specific sub-culture of kids taking su
Josh Reviews The Wolverine
I think if I had never read Wolverine, the classic 1982 mini-series written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by Frank Miller & Joe Rubinstein, I would have had a lot more enjoyment from the new film The Wolverine. I think The Wolverine is a very solid film, an excellent Wolverin
