Josh Reviews Spy!
At this rate, I want Paul Feig and Melissa McCarthy to never stop making movies together. Ms. McCarthy killed in Paul Feig’s Bridesmaids, and then she stepped up into a co-starring role in Mr. Feig’s follow-up film, The Heat. In Spy, Ms. McCarthy and writer/director Feig
The Great Hellboy Re-Reading Project Part VII: The Black Flame
I have recently begun an epic project: re-reading Mike Mignola’s complete Hellboy saga from the very beginning! 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, fo

I am in almost physical agony that I haven’t yet seen Mad Max: Fury Road. I cannot believe that George Miller has returned to make another Mad Max film, THIRTY YEARS after the last film. And what’s more amazing is how spectacular it looks. I need to see this thing, a
“Bravo.” Josh Bids Farewell to Mad Men!
Mad Men season one was, I am pretty sure, the first TV show set I ever owned on blu-ray. It was a gift, given to me soon after I bought my first blu-ray player. At the time, I’d heard about but had never seen this new cable show, and also I wasn’t sure if I […]

On my desk I keep a list of the various movies and TV shows that I’ve watched that I intend to write about here on the site. Lately that list has been growing very long! I have fallen somewhat behind on my blogging. So I’m going to try a new format here and post some

“The date is set!” — The X-Files returns to TV on January 24, 2016! Please don’t disappoint me, Chris Carter!! This is a great article listing 10 Making-Of Documentaries That Are Better Than The Actual Movie. In many of these cases I don’t actually ag
Josh Reviews Netflix’s Daredevil: Season One!
Let’s cut right to the chase: Netflix’s thirteen-episode first season of Daredevil is a triumph, a gloriously dark, gritty, adult depiction of The Man Without Fear. Netflix’s Daredevil is the finest super-hero television show I have ever seen. Am I exaggerating?
