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
More Great Stuff From Comic-Con and Other News Around the Net!
Last week I wrote about a lot of stuff that had been released in and around Comic-Con that had gotten my nerd juices flowing. Here’s lots more fun stuff that didn’t make it into that post! Let’s begin with this spectacular trailer for the third season of Star Wars
News Around the Net: Comic-Con Edition!
There has been a TON of cool stuff hitting the web this past week during Comic-Con! Here’s some of what has caught my eye: OK, I strongly disliked Batman v Superman, but that doesn’t mean I’m not rooting for DC to release some strong films. I have always been a M
Josh Reviews Star Trek Beyond!
For the 25th anniversary of Star Trek back in 1991, we were blessed with the minor miracle that was Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. That film remains one of my very favorite Trek anythings, from all the many TV shows and movies. It’s a gorgeous film, surprising dark
Josh Reviews Paul Feig’s Rebooted Ghostbusters!
Let’s cut right to the chase: the original Ghostbusters is one of the all time great movies, definitely in my top ten. Paul Feig’s rebooted Ghostbusters can’t hold a candle to the original. But this new film is still a ton of fun, very funny and very enjoyable fr
Josh Reviews Independence Day: Resurgence

I adored the work of Roald Dahl as a kid, and The BFG was in heavy rotation for me for many years. The idea of a movie adaptation of that terrific book was exciting, and that it would be helmed by Steven Spielberg — probably the greatest director working today — was even
Josh Reviews Finding Dory
Finding Nemo was a terrific movie, great fun and deeply emotional. It came towards the beginning of an incredible run of original Pixar films that would go on to include The Incredibles, Ratatouille, WALL-E, and Up. I adore the universe that was created in Finding Nemo, and it al
The Great Hellboy Re-Reading Project Part XV: The Reign of the Black Flame!
My epic project to re-read Mike Mignola’s complete Hellboy saga from the very beginning has entered the home stretch! What began as a series of sporadic mini-series and short-stories featuring the big red occult investigator has deepened over the past twenty years into what is
