You Need Faith For That To Work, Mr. Vincent!

That’s paraphrasing vampire Jerry Dandridge (Chris Sarandon) to Peter Vincent (Roddy McDowall) from Tom Holland’s 1985 Fright Night, though it fits what I think I’m seeing from Marvel Studios’ upcoming Doctor Strange. It feels almost as if Kevin Feige (or his bosses at Disney, maybe) has a bit less faith in it than in prior projects. And keep […]

A Strange Doctor Strange Trailer

And […]

Doctor Strange Conjures Up Some Levity

I mentioned a few posts ago that I wouldn’t be writing much about Marvel Studios’ upcoming Doctor Strange out of fear of spoilers, though I think that the new trailer is important for reasons I expand upon below. What I was wondering was how Marvel Studios’ upcoming Doctor Strange would add the levity, the light-heartedness that’s been crucial to […]

More Doctor Strange ‘Motion’ Posters

While not strictly speaking ‘trailers,’ I don’t quite know where to put this latest crop of Doctor Strange motion posters.  And while admittedly there’s less ‘motion’ than a curious melting around the abdomen, that’s technically motion too. Here’s Baron Mordo (that’s his name and not a title, honorary or otherwise, played by Chiwetel Ejiofor) Might I offer you […]

What’s So Strange About A Little Less Doctor Strange?

Discover a new hero. Benedict Cumberbatch is Doctor Strange. See Marvel's #DoctorStrange in theaters November 4th! pic.twitter.com/kWvIPce6me — Doctor Strange (@DrStrange) September 27, 2016 Reading my blog, you’ve probably noticed that there’s been a dearth of Doctor Strange-related posts, despite there being quite a bit of material released over the past few months. That’s no […]

Ghost Rider Unleashed on the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

As you can tell from the trailer above, one of Marvel Comics’ Ghost Rider’s (there have been at least three or four variations on the character) is making an appearance on Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and honestly I am not sure what feel about that. Reason being, unlike over at DC Films and DC Television (I […]

Thor: Ragnarok’s Resident Wild Card

Marvel Studios’ upcoming Thor: Ragnarok looks to be the most intriguing release thus far, and most of the reason for it are due to idiosyncratic director Taiki Waititi. He’s the director of quirky dramedies like Eagle vs Shark and What We Do In The Shadows and if the trailer he released at ComicCon is any indicator he intends […]

The Old And The New: Marvel Studios’ Openings Comparison

If you were paying attention during the second trailer for Marvel’s Doctor Strange–and it’s pretty awesome–you probably noticed that the Marvel Studios opening has changed. Here’s the original. I like it because it harkens back to the roots of Marvel Studios, which is comic books. It’s relatively simple, with great music by Brian Tyler that comes across heroic […]

Why Doctor Strange Is Crucial To The MCU

It’s been a long time away!  I’ve hopefully straightened out all the hullabaloo revolving around my domain, and things should be back to normal. Most recently I haven been thinking about how it is that Marvel’s Doctor Strange is perhaps one of their most important releases, and crucial to the future of the MCU, or Marvel Cinematic […]

Love Disney, But Iger Seems A Bit Douchy

I am a huge fan of Disney, not because of their characters–which for the most part I find cloying and treacly–than the business acumen of Bob Iger, who had the sense to see the value in LucasFilm, Marvel Studios, and Pixar, all of which he purchased; each of which are virtually licenses to purchase money. Captain America: […]
