The Star Trek Saga Continues with Star Trek: Sacraments of Fire
We’re in the midst of one of the longest dry spells of new “official” Star Trek content since the decade between the cancellation of The Original Series in 1969 and the release of Star Trek: The Motion Picture in 1979. In the decade since the cancellation of Star T
Josh Reviews 10 Cloverfield Lane
I feel like 2008’s Cloverfield has been somewhat forgotten and/or dismissed in recent years, but I loved that film when it came out. Back in 2008 I wasn’t yet fed up with J.J. Abrams’ “mystery box” schtick and it was fun going into seeing that movie wit
Josh Reviews Angie Tribeca Season One
Considering that TBS decided to air all ten episodes of the first season of Angie Tribeca on one single day back in January, I suspect the network doesn’t have great confidence in this show. That’s a huge mistake, because Angie Tribeca is a delight, a relentlessly silly
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 the BBC Adaptation of Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell
Over the winter I read Susannah Clarke’s magnificent novel, Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell. I loved it, and highly recommend reading it. The book tells the story of two magicians attempting to bring magic back to England in the late 1800s. The novel is one of the best ex
The Great Hellboy Re-Reading Project Part XII: Hell on Earth!
My epic project to re-read Mike Mignola’s complete Hellboy saga from the very beginning rolls on! 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, for my money, the
Star Wars Rebels: Twilight of the Apprentice
The first season of the animated Star Wars Rebels was enjoyable, although more aimed at kids than adults. Things kicked into a high gear with the terrific season one finale, in which both Darth Vader (once again voiced by James Earl Jones) and Ahsoka Tano (Anakin’s apprentice
Josh Reviews Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
Well, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice isn’t the catastrophe that I’d thought it would be based on the terrible trailers, but that doesn’t mean it’s anything approaching a good movie. The film is fun to watch, in a brain-dead sort of way. Seeing Batman an
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
Catching Up on 2015: Josh Reviews The Overnight
In writer/director Patrick Brice’s bizarre 2015 comedy, The Overnight, Alex (Adam Scott) and Emily (Taylor Schilling) are a young couple who have just moved to LA. When Alex takes his & Emily’s young son to a local park, he starts chatting with another father, Kurt (
