Director Guillermo del Toro is known for the intense originality of his work, on vivid display in Oscar-winning films from Pan’s Labyrinth to The Shape of Water. For his latest, the Netflix animated film Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio, he again set a high bar for himself.

It’s a bit sad that “the slap” from this year’s Oscars, where Will Smith assaulted Chris Rock on stage, is overshadowing the release of “Emancipation.” No, that isn’t to say Will Smith is innocent of wrongdoing and shouldn’t be criticized.

Cats have nine lives, right? Well, what if you’re a swashbuckling kitty who craves adventure and danger, but you only have one life remaining?

It’s hard to not see how a Marvel Comics character like Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange has taken over the surrogate role of MCU leader post-Tony Stark as the cinematic universe has entered The Multiverse Saga, Strange’s domain. However, the British actor seemingly finds it hard to get those deeply emotional or character-driven scenes when you don’t have much screen time to play with in specific instances when they’re simply aiming to move the story along.  As Cumberbatch tells The Talks in a recent interview, when you only have five minutes in a massive Marvel movie like “The Avengers,” it can be tough as an actor to land the emotional aspects when the development of character isn’t exactly the focus and it can be mostly about servicing the story at hand.  READ MORE: Neil Gaiman & Guillermo Del Toro Pitched A ‘Doctor Strange’ Movie To Marvel That Would Have Taken Place In The 1920s “It’s not some sort of acting gym where you’re stripping off layers of self to reveal a layer of truth all the time,” said Cumberbatch.
