I am sad that we are preparing to bring the Doctor Strange Event, better known as #DoctorStrangeEvent, to a close. This was my first Marvel Press Event with Disney and I am so excited and thankful to have been a part of the magic that is this movie. If you haven’t made it to the theaters yet, Doctor Strange is now playing in theaters everywhere! While in Los Angeles for the #DoctorStrangeEvent we had the opportunity to attend an advanced screening of the film. We also sat with the stars of the film Benedict Cumberbatch (“Dr. Stephen Strange”), Rachel McAdams (“Christine Palmer”), Mads Mikkelsen (“Kaecilius”), Tilda Swinton (“The Ancient One”), Director Scott Derrickson, and today, I am thrilled to share with you fun from our sit down with … [Read more...]
Dolby Cinema ~ Experience Doctor Strange #DolbyCinema #ShareAMC #DoctorStrange
Have you ever been to a movie theater with recliners? I mean a real movie theater, not a home theater. A week ago the answer for me was no. As of today I can change my answer. Now it is a resounding YES. And I have to admit that I am impressed. Today I got to go see Doctor Strange at the Dolby Cinema at AMC West Chester. Let me rephrase that. Today I was lucky enough to experience Doctor Strange at the Dolby Cinema at AMC West Chester, and it was amazing. I’ve been to theaters were the seats leaned back, but never actually reclined. I have been to theaters that had surround sound, but never actually immersed you in the sound experience. Doctor Strange is a movie that you need experience, not just see and you need to go to a Dolby Cinema … [Read more...]
Doctor Strange Movie Review
I suppose you could call me a fan-girl. Each movie we see draws me in more to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I’m not in the same league as the hubby mind you. Let’s put it this way, when I first found out I was going to go to LA for the Doctor Strange press trip, I had to ask the hubby if he could better explain Doctor Strange. I had gleaned a little knowledge from the preview trailers but still ... not enough to call me knowledgeable. As a result, I had to endure a half hour of him telling me. I am always telling him he needs to talk more, but I finally had to tell him to stop. I knew enough to know I was intrigued. Doctor Strange is not your ordinary Marvel Super Hero. And the movie bears this out. One of Marvel’s great strengths … [Read more...]
MADS MIKKELSEN ~ Exclusive Interview: Doctor Strange
One of the last interviews that we conducted was with Mads Mikkelsen who stars as Kaecilius in Marvel’s DOCTOR STRANGE, in theaters THIS FRIDAY, November 4, 2016. Now, I have to be honest, this was the interview that I was least prepared for and rather nervous about. I know this will be shocking but I don’t really know a great deal about Mads career. I recall him in movies like King Arthur, The Three Musketeers, and I can’t wait to see him in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story BUT in our home, we spend most of our time watching Disney so I’m not up to date on his lead role in Hannibal. I’m sorry! I hear it is amazing!! On the flip side, this guy was pretty intimidating in his role as Kaecilius. Don’t get me wrong, I loved him in the movie … but … [Read more...]
