Josh Reviews Noah
Holy cow I was absolutely blown away by Darren Aronofsky’s Noah. Settle in and get comfortable, because we have lots to discuss as I attempt to dig into my reactions to this film. I thought my previous post, my analysis of the ultimately disappointing The Amazing Spider-Man
Josh Reviews The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Get comfy, folks, we have a lot to discuss with this one. When The Amazing Spider-Man 2 works, it works very, very well. There are aspects of this film that are truly amazing (pun very much intended). And when The Amazing Spider-Man 2 doesn’t work, and boy are there a lot of
Star Wars Casting and News Around the Net
So… has there been some Star Wars news this week…? Well, let me just say this, which I’m sure I’ll be repeating over and over again ad nauseam between now and Dec 18, 2015. I would love nothing more than to see a great new Star Wars movie in a theatre at some
Star Trek Voyager: Protectors
I’ve had a fun over the last month or two, catching up with all of Kirsten Beyer’s Star Trek Voyager novels that take the characters of that show forward from the events of the TV series’ finale. As I have repeatedly mentioned, Voyager is my least favorite of the T

Cerebus the Barbarian Messiah
Cerebus the Barbarian Messiah: Essays on the Epic Graphic Satire of Dave Sim and Gerhard is exactly what the book’s title promises. It’s a collection of essays by different authors, attempting to take a serious, scholarly look at various aspects of Cerebus, Dave Sim &
News Around the Net
This “Modern Seinfeld” twitter feed is pretty amusing. I guess the premise is these guys are coming up with Seinfeld ideas, if the show was being made today. This one really made me laugh: George gets dumped for being a “toilet texter.” GEORGE: “What
Josh Reviews Captain America: The Winter Soldier
As Marvel Studios impresses yet again with another high quality super-hero film, one that honors and respects the source material while also being accessible to newbies and entertaining as a film in its own right, it’s easy to forget what a miracle this is. There are so many w
Star Trek Voyager: The Eternal Tide
This Star Trek Voyager novel, The Eternal Tide, is one I’d been dreading. To my huge shock, I’ve found myself quite enjoying Kirsten Beyer’s post-finale series of Star Trek Voyager novels (click here for my review of Full Circle, here for my review of Unworthy, and h
