I’d be the first person to admit that the scores for most Marvel Studios movies have been less than memorable (at this point only two tracks from Henry Jackman’s theme to Captain America: The Winter Soldier stick in my mind at, and those are ‘Winter Soldier’ and ‘Lemurian Star’) and that’s taking into account ALL […]
As I have written in the past, I’m not particularly fond of Gareth Edwards as a director. I think that he’s talented but the movies he’s directed so far never seem to fit well with his stylistic sensibilities. Monsters could have been titled ‘Traveling Through Mexico Meeting An Occasional Beastie‘ while Legendary’s Godzilla remake could have […]
Comicbook.com posted an international trailer for Scott Derrickson’s upcoming Doctor Strange, and you can see it here. I haven’t watched it because a movie trailer is a like a single puzzle piece, which when combined with others form a more complete image of what that movie happen to be. The problems start when you assemble those […]
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 […]

And […]
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 […]
I have to admit that I didn’t expect this trailer to drop quite so soon (especially since my last post was for the movie poster). So here’s the trailer, and what’s interesting is that we get a lot of Javier Bardem and no Johnny Depp at all. Is that an artistic choice? Could it have […]
Disney released a teaser poster for the latest movie in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise: Dead Men Tell No Tales. This leads me to a confession: I haven’t watched ANY of the Pirates movies to completion. They’re big, sprawling examples of modern filmmaking, and they just don’t work for me. And I not sure why. Maybe […]
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 […]
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 […]
