Benedict Cumberbatch continues his quest for awesomeness in 'Doctor Strange'
Doctor Strange looks like a grown up Marvel movie. It is by Scott Derrickson, whose previous films include The Day the Earth Stood Still and Sinister. He specializes in the macabre and the unusual. He wants to make you scream. Benedict Cumberbatch plays Dr. Stephen Strange, one of the best neurosurgeons in the world. After being severely injured in a terrible car accident, he heads to India to find a way to repair his trembling hands. He eventually meets the Ancient One (Tilda Swinton) and her student Karl Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor) and soon goes on a quest to master the magical arts.
The film, which also stars Rachel McAdams, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Mads Mikkelsen, opens in theaters on November 4. Check out the trailer below:
These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.
I really like these whimsical ceramic creatures by James DeRosso. Yes, they have bulging eyes and toothy grins, but they're not scary at all. The Portland-based artist started making cute monsters while he was a student to jokingly create gargoyle-like guardians for the kiln. After other students kept taking his quirky little figures, he realized there was a market for them. "I'm enjoying the whole monster making niche," James says. "It's amazingly gratifying to be doing ceramics full time and especially to be a teacher introducing kids to the joy of clay." Be sure to visit his website and like his Facebook page for the latest monster news.
What you see here is an art installation featuring 440 pairs of high heels. The shoes were recently hanged by Turkish artist and graphic designer Vahit Tuna on a facade of a building in downtown Istanbul to highlight domestic abuse. Each pair represents one of the 440 women killed in Turkey last year by their partner or husband. How sad that is.
