David Palmer7 Comments

For the first time in I don’t know how long, a Marvel movie has a distinct style. “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” follows Dr. Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) as he tries to save reality and a young girl (Xochitl Gomez) from an enemy that threatens to destroy multiple universes.

When the secret government facility she works at brings in an aquatic creature from the Amazon, she befriends it and seeks to break it out. Michael… Continue reading Beautiful, Engaging and Mesmerizing, ‘The Shape of Water’ May be 2017’s Best Film

It’s going to be awkward when Michael Fassbender wins the Oscar for Best Actor over Leonardo DiCaprio for a role that DiCaprio turned down… “Steve Jobs” is a biopic based on the man of the same name. Fassbender plays the titular Apple co-founder, while Seth Rogen portrays Steve Wozniak, Kate Winslet plays Joanna Hoffman, and… Continue reading ‘Steve Jobs’ Near-Perfectly Acted and Written Biopic
