Black Mass (2015): Johnny Depp as James "Whitey" Bulger

Directed by Scott Cooper, based on the 2001 novel, Black Mass (2015) is a biographical crime film centered on James "Whitey" Bulger. The story follows Whitey Bulger's rise to power as leader of the Irish Mob, the Winter Hill Gang, in South Boston during the 1970's - 1990's and up through his run as a Most Wanted fugitive. Interesting is the parallel element that follows his younger brother, Billy Bulger, as he rises to political prominence in the Massachusetts State Senate. Gritty violence mixes with masterful performances. Johnny Depp is frighteningly tense in the lead role as Whitey Bulger. The supporting cast is great as well, including Benedict Cumberbatch, Joel Edgerton and Kevin Bacon.

Doctor Strange (2016): Marvel Comics. Benedict Cumberbatch, Symbolism and the Mystical Arts

Doctor Strange. 2016. Marvel Comics. Benedict Cumberbatch, Symbolism and the Mystical Arts

Directed by Scott Derrickson, based on characters created by Stan Lee, Doctor Strange (2016) expertly combines Superheroes with magic and symbolism. After an accident, Dr. Stephen Strange loses the use of his skilled hands… and while on a journey of physical and spiritual healing he is drawn into an enclave that practices the mystical arts. The script is well-written and the visual effects are astounding. Many parallels and connections have been noted between the mystical elements of the film and the esoteric nature of Masonic ritual… even down to the use of the name "Cagliostro" in one of the incantations. The cast does a great job, including Benedict Cumberbatch, Tilda Swinton, Rachel McAdams, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Mads Mikkelsen.
