After over two weeks of pretty much just watching and reviewing indie films and obscure gems (and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World), it was time to go bigger and more recent. I have been anticipating Spider-Man: Homecoming since it was announced a while back, and I have been eagerly awaiting it – I think Marvel…

Doctor Strange (2016)
I believe that in any form of art or creation of something, the best way to create someone unique, original and meaningful is to put into the world what you want out of it. This applies to my film discussions and reviews as well – and when it comes to Doctor Strange, the only part…
