I I get the feeling that a lot of people may not liked the fate of the Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022) but one has to admit she was all sorts of awesome in the movie. From her introduction in Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) – though […]
While I enjoyed 2016’s Doctor Strange I wish that it had been…well…weirder. And to be fair there was quite a burden on director Scott Derrickson’s shoulders, namely now to introduce a character that’s amongst the weirdest in Marvel’s stable, but do so in a manner that doesn’t turn off people who’re grown accustomed to their […]
As if we needed any more evidence that Warner Bros is mismanaging DC Films: A Doctor Strange movie has out-opened Batman, $185 million vs $135 million, after its three-day premiere (from Friday through Sunday). Doctor Strange, a character most people have never heard of prior to his 2016 movie, has out-opened literally one of the […]
The teaser trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home dropped yesterday and it’s pretty good though I wonder if I would feel the same about if it weren’t for Tom Holland, who’s pretty charismatic, and Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) who’s the most interesting character in the trailer (which is notable because while I enjoyed his 2016 […]
Marvel Studios released a teaser teaser for their upcoming feature, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings starring Simu Liu (Kim’s Convenience) and it looks like it could be a lot of fun, which is if we’re to judge from the trailer has elements of action, heart and humor that’s come to be a […]
Having seen Tenet recently from the relative safety of my apartment, I’m glad that I didn’t risk my life to see it in a theater because it’s not only too long – at 2 1/2 hours it could have easily been whittled down at least a half hour – but it’s also more than a […]
I know, I know, recording clean audio is my current bête noire. It’s something I’m working on but the thing about sound recording is that where you are is where you are. You can’t reduce ambient sound in an area–because I’m not Doctor Strange–and have to deal with what I have. So until the lavaliere […]
The less said aboutthe particulars of Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Infinity War the better but know it rewards fans over casual viewers. That’s not to say that if you haven’t seen all 18 of the prior MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) movies you won’t enjoy it, though if you haven’t seen any Infinity War isn’t a great […]
I participated in a thread on Twitter with C. Robert Cargill (co-writer of Sinister, Sinister 2 and Doctor Strange) where he was talking about The Equalizer 2 and it’s director, Antoine Fuqua (who also directed the first movie). I described Fuqua as ‘the thinking man’s Michael Bay,’ and it’s an apt comparison because if you […]
“Let’s talk about this plan of yours.” says Star-Lord, while Peter Parker looks on bemused, while Drax looks just grim. “I think it’s good, except it sucks. Let me do the plan, that way it might be really good.” “Wow.” Tony Stark relies, perfectly capturing how much of an ass he thinks Quill is in […]
