Marvel’s latest offering, Doctor Strange, continues the studio’s winning streak when it comes to critics, holding steady at a 90 percent rating on aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes, a 7.9/10 on IMDB, and a 72 percent on Metacritic. The psychedelic solo movie received critical acclaim, although some did feel that it stuck just a little too closely to the Marvel formula, and that it was especially similar to the first film in the MCU, Iron Man....
As Doctor Who fans are well aware, the series’ incredible longevity is due in large part to a clever bit of narrative chicanery – that being the Doctor’s ability to regenerate his body, paving the way for the show to make a relatively seamless transition from one actor to the next and, in effect, turn the occasion into an event unto itself. The crafty loophole has been used in recent years to shift from Christopher Eccleston to David Tennant to Matt Smith, and most recently Peter Capaldi, but the Doctor has been regenerating on TV for decades....
PlayStation 5 will come with lots of new features, making it a worthy upgrade over the last generation PlayStation 5. As Games are getting bigger and bigger, the game disks are also getting more prominent in terms of size(storage). Going into the year 2021, things are going to be more challenging, and we will see more significant-sized gaming titles, especially considering the support for high-resolution gaming these days. So how will the PlayStation 5 fair against this changing scenario?...

Marvel Studios’ Phase 3 started last year on the right foot with Captain America going against Iron Man in Captain America: Civil War and later introducing a new member to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Doctor Strange. The Sorcerer Supreme had a successful run on his first solo film and is expected to return in Thor: Ragnarok next to the God of thunder. But just like with any adaptation of a superhero to the big screen, there were many concerns among fans over the portrayal of Stephen Strange, particularly the character’s costume, as it could have easily fallen in the “cartoonish” category....
The third episode of Doctor Who season 11, “Rosa,” left a lot of questions unanswered about its main villain. This was a historical episode unlike anything we’ve ever seen before in Doctor Who, a character piece that also acted as a social commentary on the issue of racism and prejudice. Where previous episodes dropped tantalizing hints about season 11’s arc, “Rosa” was a chance for showrunner Chris Chibnall and co-writer Malorie Blackman to explore the true potential of a time-travel series....
Gerard Butler reprises his role as Secret Service agent Mike Banning in Angel Has Fallen, but does the threequel include a post-credits scene? Butler made his debut as Agent Banning in 2013’s Olypmpus Has Fallen, an R-rated action thriller (often described as “Die Hard in the White House”) directed by Antoine Fuqua. The film received lukewarm reviews overall, but drew praise for its ’90s action movie throwback style, and went on to become a modest success at the box office (grossing $170 million against a $70 million budget)....
The discussion of whether or not there are multiple Death Stranding endings has been a somewhat persistent one across the community despite very early indications suggesting that would not be the case. Hideo Kojima is known for playing coy with a lot of his narrative beats, however, and he’s buried hidden endings and cutscenes deep into previous works like Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, so fans have remained at least a little skeptical of the facts surrounding the possibility of multiple Death Stranding endings....
Before Doctor Sleep was a critically acclaimed movie, it was a book by Stephen King, and here’s why the legendary author decided to write it. An incredibly prolific literary force, King has written over 60 full-length novels, and more than 200 short stories, but one thing he’s rarely done is write sequels to his work. While lots of King movie adaptations have gotten sequels, they’re almost always not based on the author’s work, and instead use his prior material as a jumping off point for an original follow-up....
Marvel’s Doctor Strange is well into its theatrical run, earning universally positive reviews and over half a billion dollars in less than three weeks. With most fans having already seen the second Marvel Studios production of 2016 by now and with no more Marvel TV Netflix series airing until next year, it’s time to look back on 2016 and specifically, where Doctor Strange leaves the Marvel Cinematic Universe months after the events of Captain America: Civil War....
Now firmly established as a huge success on both the critical and commercial levels, Marvel Studios’ latest MCU entry Doctor Strange managed to accomplish the goal of introducing another formidable hero to a cinematic pantheon that already includes heavyweights like Iron Man and Captain America. In addition to telling the origin story of brilliant but injured neurosurgeon turned powerful sorcerer Dr. Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), Doctor Strange also successfully injected a more supernatural and mystical side into the MCU....
Doctor Who has created some truly memorable villains. Only some can really stand the test of time though and the Cybermen have managed to outlive everything we could have expected of them. They are one of the three core villains of the show. While the Daleks and the Master both offer up a significant threat, the Cybermen have often acted as the villains for the finale of a series. But there’s still plenty we don’t know about this race of metal men....
Doctor Who may be a science fantasy show with a focus on monsters, emotions, and time travel, but there’s always room for wardrobe. Clothing in media often tells us a story, and for Doctor Who, those stories are often loud (the Sixth Doctor’s rainbow jacket springs to mind). Just as the Doctor’s style is eccentric, his companions typically enjoy cute but practical styles that often mirror or represent the characters’ backgrounds in ways that are fun to untangle....
New rumors revolving around Star Wars: The Last Jedi suggest that Luke Skywalker is hiding something rather important in the necklace that he wears in the film. The Last Jedi teaser trailer has inspired much fan guesswork, but it’s not as though there was a shortage of rumors surrounding the movie before then. So far, unconfirmed reports about everything from Supreme Leader Snoke’s appearance to the alien creatures that appear in The Last Jedi, have found their way online....
Doctor Strange’s C. Robert Cargill is reportedly returning to write the script for Doctor Strange 2. Marvel Studios is in the midst of promoting the end of Phase 3 in Captain Marvel and Avengers: Endgame, but have already begun moving on Phase 4. Sony’s Spider-Man: Far From Home will kick off the next phase and already is showing what it will look like, but the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe also continues to take shape....
Sinister director Scott Derrickson’s Doctor Strange will be the first Marvel Studios film to explore the concepts of magic, mythicism, and sorcery within the context of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, when it arrives in Fall 2016. Benedict Cumberbatch of Sherlock fame is playing Stephen Vincent Strange - the brilliant if arrogant surgeon who becomes a practitioner of the magic arts after a life-changing accident - in the movie and much has already been made of not just his abilities, but also the magical artifacts that Strange employs (such as the Cloak of Levitation)....
Former Doctor Who actor Arthur Darvill believes that Jodie Whittaker’s second season as the Doctor will be better than her first. Whittaker dominated headlines in 2017 when she became the first woman cast in the iconic Doctor role. Although many deemed the casting controversial, the BBC revealed Whittaker in her official costume as the Doctor several months later. Despite the naysayers, Whittaker’s first season as the Doctor premiered in 2018, when the first episode broke records as the most-watched of the series in its modern history....
A week after Pebble announced a color-screen version of its popular smartwatch, the Pebble Time, it has now announced a stainless steel model: the Pebble Time Steel. The metal version is available in silver, black and … gold finishes. Wonder where they got the inspiration for a gold finish with red strap? The Time Steel will retail at $299–a hundred bucks more than the plastic original, but still $50 less than the plastic-strap model Apple Watch....
Black Knight is joining the MCU in Marvel’s Eternals, but he should also appear in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. At Disney’s D23 Expo, Marvel Studios confirmed that Game of Thrones star Kit Harington has joined the cast of Eternals as Dane Whitman aka Black Knight, one of the only characters in the Eternals film who isn’t an Eternal. So far, Harington’s Black Knight is the only human character confirmed to have a role in the movie....
Outgoing Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat says it’s a possibility Pearl Mackie reprises Bill Potts in a future season of the show. Moffat has been a divisive figure in the fandom. Some praise his tenure in charge – which has covered Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi’s stints at the TARDIS control panel, as well as the 50th-anniversary special which brought back David Tennant – while others strongly take against it....
