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:

I recently stumbled across the work of Tony Stella, whose genuinely cool movie posters have caught the eye of film enthusiasts and art lovers worldwide. He likes to work in watercolor and ink wash but sometimes he will make an oil painting, depending on the film. Tony's very active on social media, and his Tumblr blog contains a massive collection of illustrated movie posters that are often better than the original. ...
Both my brother and I thought of ourselves as artists when we were kids. He the kind that could actually draw and paint, and me the kind that pretended that I could actually draw and paint. At least once a year (until I was 14 or 15) we bought art supplies at our favorite bookstore. We got paint brushes, watercolor sets, color pencils, crayons and paint tubes. But, soon I realized, I wasn't artistic and creative enough to pursue a degree in fine arts. And no amount of expensive equipment can make me a better artist. Sabi nga sa Tagalog, "nasa Indian yan, wala sa pana." Take, for example, Mark Powell. The London-based artist draws incredibly detailed portraits of elderly people using only a standard ballpoint pen. Know what I love more about Mark than his awesome drawings? His canvases. The University of Huddersfield graduate uses old envelopes, maps, books and newspapers to create incredible life-like illustrations. His obsession with vintage paper document...
