NOW SHOWING: This weekend's wide releases include Trolls, which is currently scoring 76 percent on the ol' Tomatometer; Doctor Strange, which is currently scoring 90 percent; and Hacksaw Ridge, scoring 89 percent.

DOCTOR STRANGE: I'm not the first to observe that this latest origin tale has echoes of Marvel Studios' first origin tale -- 2008's Iron Man.  After all, Stephen Strange's personality, problems, and journey to heroics are not terribly different from those of Tony Stark, though set against a backdrop of mysticism rather than technology.  And there's a slight echo of the original Thor, insofar as it provides a bridge between the two.  It is thus a tribute to all involved that this film still seems fresh, both in its psychedelia-meets-Inception visuals and in the performances of a strong ensemble led by Benedict Cumberbatch (who manages a variation on brillaint-but-arrogant different from his turns in Sherlock and The Imitation Game).  There are two extra scenes, so be sure to stay past the credits.
