“Visually, Marvel’s Doctor Strange is unlike any movie you’ve probably seen.” And that’s not hyperbole. Some of the visual effects in Scott Derrickson’s Doctor Strange may have had their genesis in other movies–such as Inception–but he takes them to places that you have never seen before. Green screen is also nothing new, but the way […]
As I’ve said before, and bears repeating; I really hate spoilers. There’s often something about the early reveal of crucial plot-points that reeks of someone out to steal everyone else’s joy. That being said, what I stumbled upon an article from Wegotitcovered.com it confirmed what I long hoped about the latest entry to the Marvel […]
‘Early Milky Way’ image via hubblesite.com Success breeds imitation, and in the past ten years few movie companies have been successful as Marvel Studios. And while many in the Hollywood community seem surprised, if they had any idea of the pent-up demand for seeing characters like Iron Man, Falcon and many others that millions of […]
It’s no secret that I don’t particularly like what Fox has done with the Marvel’s X-Men, though take that dislike and double it, and that’s approaches what I feel what they have done with Wolverine. And the worse thing for me is that it’s all about greed. Hugh Jackman’s portrayal (despite that, visually speaking, he’s not […]
It’s all about the attitude, baby.
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 […]
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 […]
If anyone had said that Marvel Television, when Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. premiered on ABC a few years ago, that they would come to dominate superhero television I would have been hopeful, but wouldn’t have treated them too seriously. Though having seen both seasons of Marvel’s Daredevil, as well as the first seasons of Jessica […]
At this point, if you’re a Netflix subscriber you’ve probably already started watching Marvel’s Luke Cage (if you haven’t binged all 13 episodes, that is) so I don’t have any intention of spoiling it for you. Except to say that the series is damn good television; so good in fact that–which I mention in my […]
