Movie Review: Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is now streaming on Disney+. As a Marvel fan, I’ve been waiting eagerly to see it, but I do have some thoughts. This time around, Doctor Strange, while trying to redeem himself by taking a kid under his wing, sets out to save the multiverse from the Scarlet Witch, aka Wanda, who has been turned evil by the book, The Dark Hold. While she is nasty as hell, killing hundreds of people, she’s out to find a universe where she can be with her sons, the ones she created in “Wanda Vision.” During our trip through multiple universes, we are introduced to several incarnations of Doctor Strange. One of the versions we meet is an undead Strange, and he’s fantastic. This movie has Sam Raimi all over it; you can not miss his style or flavor. Of course, what would a Rami film be without Bruce Campbell? Groovy ol’ Bruce makes a cameo,

DVD Review: The Stand: The Definitive 2 – Series Collection (1994 – 2021)

An accident at a military base unleashes the greatest plague mankind has ever known (nicknamed Captain Trips), and the resulting contamination begins decimating Earth’s population faster than shit through a goose. Adding to the apocalyptic calamity on hand is the fact that the hand-full of survivors that are seemingly immune to the disease begin having visions of either the kindly Mother Abigail (Ruby Dee) or the devilish Randall Flagg (Jamey Sheridan), and they are being called towards a rural cornfield in Colorado. Soon sides will be chosen, good and evil will have a final conflict, and the fate of the world will be decided! Comprised of one hell of a stellar cast, some impressive visuals, and gnarly effects and make-up, this adaptation of Stephen King’s epic The Stand is a fantastic fright flick that manages the Herculean task of boiling down the maestro’s dense work into something that both wouldn’t run 18,645 minutes in length and could actually be played
