Josh Reviews Rebel Moon Part One: Child of Fire
In Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon Part One: Child of Fire, Sofia Boutella stars as Kora, a young woman hiding out on a remote planet, in a small farming village. Her tranquil life is interrupted when the military forces of the “Motherworld” arrive, on the hunt for rebels
Josh Reviews the Snyder Cut of Justice League!
Let’s start here: I’m a Zack Snyder fan. I was blown away by his adaptation of 300 when it was released in 2006, and I’m a staunch defender of his adaptation of Watchmen (especially the super-long “Ultimate Cut”) which, while flawed, is still a heck of
News Around the Net
Wow — Wonder Woman 1984 will be released on HBO Max on Christmas Day! AND the film will also be showing in theaters. This is a very interesting strategy. I’m sure that most struggling theatre chains are happy to have this film showing theatrically — and I am ov
Josh Reviews Justice League!
Warner Brothers and DC’s new film, Justice League, is a milestone in their efforts to chase after the achievements of Marvel’s cinematic universe. But whereas Marvel’s last decade-worth of films has seen a remarkably cohesive, gradual unfolding and expansion of a u
Josh Actually Doesn’t Hate the Extended “Ultimate Edition” of Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice!
So, yeah, I wrote a pretty scathing review of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and also of the DC follow-up film Suicide Squad. I wouldn’t have imagined that I’d be in any sort of rush to watch Batman v Superman again any time soon (or even ever). But when I read th
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
Why Man of Steel is Good but not Great
It’s been fascinating, over the past few weeks, reading all of the varied reactions to Man of Steel. It has proved to be a tremendously divisive film, with some loving it and some really loathing it. Personally, I am somewhere in between. I had a great time seeing it in th
Josh Kneels Before Man of Steel
I love Richard Donner’s Superman: The Movie from 1978, and for much of my life I thought Superman II was even better. (My preference has swung back slightly, in recent years, towards the original film.) Those two movies were a huge part of my childhood, and more than any Sup
Josh Reviews the new Director’s Cut of Watchmen
Even before Watchmen was released in theatres, director Zach Snyder made clear, in interviews, that we’d be seeing his longer Director’s Cut released on DVD/Blu-Ray before too terribly long. Well, Watchmen: The Director’s Cut is indeed now available for all to see
“Amongst Horrors Must I Dwell” — Josh Reviews the Tales of the Black Freighter!
“Delirious, I saw that hell-bound ship’s black sails against the yellow Indies sky, and knew again the stench of powder, and men’s brains, and war.” So begins the Tales of the Black Freighter, the famed “comic within a comic” from Watchmen by Alan M
