From moviesonline, Marvels Dr. Strange will be hitting DVD Shelves August 14th. Peel back the layers of reality, and behold a stunning realm hidden beneath. One of magic and wonder. Of sorcery and enchantment. Of ancient spells, secret doors, and remarkable heroes who protect us from evil. Because this is also a world of dark mysticism, malevolent forces, and unspeakable horrors. And within the shadows around us, a supernatural war is waged. But the balance is shifting. Darkness is winning. Yet there is hope….Join us as Dr. Stephen Strange embarks on a wondrous journey to the heights of a Tibetan mountain, where he seeks healing at the feet of the mysterious Ancient One. But before his wounds can mend, Strange must first let go of his painful past, and awaken a gift granted to very few. The gift of magic. Empowered as the new Sorcerer Supreme, Dr. Strange now tests his limits, rising up against monsters that push at the gates, facing the most terrifying entity humankind has ever known.

Jordan mentioned to me once about Peter Jackson staging that nasty wizard fight between Gandalf and Saruman in Fellowship of the Ring. Jackson said that in every movie he’d seen involving wizards, inevitably the “magic” effects would appear and ruin the whole thing.
When Jordan told me that, I immediately thought of the effects-laden Dr. Strange TV movie that was made in 1978. I enjoyed it as a 10-year-old but I bet it would look just horrible now. (I also just looked it up on imdb – turns out the villianess was played by the same actress who played Lucille Bluth in Arrested Development, and seeing as I was just talking about her in my comments on the LOTR post above, it must be Coincidence Day.)
My point? That Dr. Strange blurb perfectly evokes the lameness of those horrible special effects. “…behold a stunning realm hidden beneath. One of magic and wonder. Of sorcery and enchantment. Of ancient spells, secret doors, and remarkable heroes who protect us from evil.”
Craaaaaap!
