REVIEW OF THE DAY: Doctor Strange
In my attempt to catch up with the movies of the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe), since I left off with Captain America: Civil War, it only makes sense to discuss the MCU film that followed right after, Doctor Strange. Strange is the fourteenth film in the MCU, focusing on supernatural superhero, Doctor Strange, a master of the mystic arts, also in comics having the title of the Sorcerer Supreme.

Selected Review of the Day: STAR WARS EPISODE III: REVENGE OF THE SITH (2005)
We finally come to the final Star Wars movie in the prequel trilogy, Revenge of the Sith.

But when he gets nightmares of his now wife, Padme Amidala (Natalie Portman), dying during the birth of the galaxy's future heroes, the Jedi turns to…
