And so, Marvel Studios brings audiences the story of Doctor Strange, another arrogant prick who needs a lesson in humility. Does this superhero origin story stack up with Marvel’s best or is this a subpar effort? Continue reading

EPISODE 110: CAPTAIN AMERICA: NEVER ENDING PODCAST
Have you seen Captain America: Civil War yet? No? Good, because once you listen to Hodgepodge Podcast 110, you won’t have to see it.

Doug’s 2016 Summer Movie Preview!
It’s that time of year again—that time when blockbusters come out to play. However, in 2016, you’d be hard-pressed to see the summer movie-going season as any different from the rest of 2016 so far. February brought us Deadpool, March was Zootopia and Batman v Superman, (yes, despite the critical shellacking, it made money), and April has just delivered The Jungle Book. But during the summer months, these colossal movies will be coming at audiences every week.
As usual, I’ve compiled a list of the films I’m most looking forward to with some B-listers thrown in as well. The dates listed here are subject to change, but I’ve got all these films in order of release as of today. Click on the film titles to see the trailers. And as has been the case several times since I started the annual feature, it all kicks off with a Marvel movie… Continue reading

Doug Reviews: Deadpool (2016)
It’s been a long road to movie theaters for Deadpool. For a little over a decade, Ryan Reynolds has been trying to get the “Merc with the Mouth” into cinemas. He had a bit part in X-Men Origins: Wolverine – an adaptation of the character so botched, it almost killed any hope of ever seeing Deadpool on the big screen ever again. However, through perseverance – and a few key leaks of script and footage over the years – Fox gave the project the green light and he is finally barreling into theaters. However, is the film really worth all this hype? Continue reading

Doug Reviews: Fantastic Four (2015)
By now, you’ve probably heard about the terrible reviews that 20th Century Fox’s reboot of Fantastic Four has been receiving. There are reports of Director Josh Trank being pulled off the film and key scenes being scrapped by the studio—lots of behind the scenes drama. However, is the film really that bad as all the reviews suggest? Well, yes and no. Continue reading
