Movie Reviews #2: Doctor Strange 

First of all, lets talk about what snacks I snuck into the movie Doctor Strange. I went to Jack N The Box to get those mini churros. (Yes im not suppose to be eating those but whatever) I honestly did not want to see Dr. Strange. Why? As a die hard Marvel Comics fan, I hated Dr. Strange growing up. I thought he was a punk. Lmfao. Stubbornness right. Benedict Cumberbatch stars as a egotistical Neurosurgeon names Stephen Strange. He gets into a violent car accident (while texting and driving nonetheless) and he ended up with severe nerve damage in his hands. Obviously his fine gross motor skills are null and void after countless surgeries, so he seeks a higher power. While doing some research, he found a patient who had healed himself somehow through some unknown power. (It was Benjamin Bratt) Hell tells Dr. Strange to go to Nepal and seek a place known as Kamara Taj. Once he finds it, he meets Karl Mordo (who is played by Chiwetel Ejiofor)  a student of the Ancient One (played by Tilda Swinton). 

Of course Dr. Strange is stubborn and does not want to give in to the Ancient One’s teachings, but he soon becomes a master sorcerer. The bad guy in the film is Kaecilius  ( played by Mads Mikkelsen, and if you don’t remember him, he played Let’s Chiefe in 007 Casino Royale) 

Kaecilius is a former student who wants to summon dark magic to bring a dark deity to earth known as Dormammu. 

You have to watch this movie if your a marvel head. Thor makes an appearance as the credits are going off, and another infinity stone has been revealed. 

I give this movie an A-.

  1. Black folks know they can’t follow rules.
    I had a friend bring in some homemade fried chicken to the theater.
    No lie!
    And it was NOT me, I promise
    Lady G tries to keep it classy!

    Not that I’m not into your review, I just don’t care about superhero movies.
    I’ll holler back when you do another good rom/com!

  3. Lol @ sneaking food into the theatre. Them prices be outrageous. They want like 5 bucks for a bag of Skittles near me – and then they got the nerve to search women’s purses to make sure they ain’t sneaking none in!

    I never thought you’d be into a movie like this! Good review! Will I watch it? Probbbbbably not, lol. I could never get into hero films with all the action.

    Isn’t there a movie with Denzel coming out? You have to review that!

      • So if you look at my movie stubs on the review pics, it says SEAT. So at Century Movie theaters, you gave to select the your seat. It’s supposed to prevent people from movie hopping, I guess. I feel violated. What if I selected to a seat and it’s broke, or I wanna change seats? Lmfao. That’s why I go to the movies on a weekday morning, when it’s just me and this old white couple. It’s funny because that old white couple and I prolly seen 7 movies this year. They mad cool. Hahahahahahahahaha.

      • Ha! You have my permission to do exactly that. As long as they are spicy nacho Doritos. I’m not going down for anything basic :X – I saw Fences! It was very deep and emotional for a lot of people. I just didn’t care for the amount of camera time Denzel received in comparison to the other actors. Although, I understand completely why he did. I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it.

      • Lol! Spicy Nacho are the best! Honorable mention to the Sweet Chili ones, too!

        Hmm – now I have to see it! Will probably peep it tomorrow. I read the play in high school and saw a small time local version of it a few years ago. It is beautifully written; I love the analogy between life and baseball. Do you think it was good overall? I hope they did the book justice, you know?

      • Ok I didn’t see the play nor read the book but it was kinda weird to see Denzel play that rile. It was a “good uncomfortable” with me.

      • Lol! You know my type … if I can’t play in the game, I’m grabbing my basketball and taking it home lol.

        Almost definitely has to be Spicy Nacho or Sweet Chili. Those Cooler Ranch joints are yet to prove themselves.

      • I dont like the Taco ones. Ewwwww. It’s funny on a random note, I couldn’t stop thinking about your poem you wrote a few months ago about people going to the bathroom when the house is quiet. It’s Hella funny now in my head, anytime someone is in the bathroom I try to tune out any noise I hear. Like I’ll turn the TV up. Hahahahahahaha dam u Daryl.

      • Lmaooo! Its madddd awkward, right!? Turning the TV up is exactly what I’ll do, or I’ll try to busy myself with some pointless task. Lol sorry to bring that to your attention. On a slightly related note, have you seen that commercial on TV for V.I. Poo – the deodorizing spray that you put into the toilet so your shit don’t stink. Stuff like this makes me want to throw my TV out the window lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L37-3v7DyYs

  7. The special effects look really great! I used to read the comic book as a kid. So I know the whole back story on Dr Strange. I never got a chance to see the film when it was out. I will have to wait for the dvd. But I already knew this film would be good.
