Isabelle Huppert walks out and stands in front of her classroom in Serge Bozon's Mrs. Hyde and she seems to disappear into the wall - the chalk on the chalkboard has more color than she does. She's paste in sensible shoes. We first meet her being harangued publicly by her students, and in a slow painful succession of scenes she's humiliated by everyone she comes into contact with. This is no Huppert Dragon Lady, then.
And then, voila, she's struck by lightning. And given what we drag into the movie theater with us, given this film's title, we think to ourselves, "Cue the dragon!"
So the most interesting thing about Mrs. Hyde is simultaneously its most frustrating thing - it's as if Bozon took it as a challenge to deny us what we came to this movie for.

No matter how much we cover about these films leading up to their release, the amount of work that goes into them, and the number of stories that can be derived are almost endless. As such, there's always a good number of facts and anecdotes that slip between the cracks of all our coverage. If you're a film junkie like us, audio commentaries serve as great insight into these films from the filmmakers themselves, and the one for Doctor Strange was no exception.
In the Digital HD release of Doctor Strange, director Scott Derrickson delved into many details from the film. From the controversial casting of Tilda Swinton to some of the callbacks and homages he threw into the picture, there were a great number of details we relished in our watchthrough of the audio commentary.
Here are 41 things we learned from Scott Derrickson in the commentary:

James M. Cain’s 1941 novel Mildred Pierce offers a venal and self-destructive view of America not with a story of respectable bourgeois society, not the criminal underworld. A de-classed, suburb-dwelling nobody fights her way onto the social register by using men and by hard work… and then watches as her obsessive goals blow up in her face In Cain’s worldview it’s every woman for herself. He drags in an odd personal theme,...

“Doctor Strange’s” whitewashing controversy continues to be a main point of discussion. Diversity and the casting of the Ancient One were once again the hot topics at Thursday night’s world premiere held at the Tcl Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.
The film’s director, Scott Derrickson, told Variety that he thinks “diversity is the responsibility of the directors and producers” and once again explained why Tilda Swinton’s was the perfect Ancient One.
“In this case, the stereotype of [the Ancient One] had to be undone. I wanted it to be a woman, a middle-aged woman. Every iteration of that script played by an Asian woman felt like a ‘Dragon Lady,” he said. “I’m very sensitive to the history of ‘Dragon Lady’ representation and Anna May Wong films. I moved away from that. Who’s the magical, mystical, woman with secrets that could work in this role? I thought Tilda Swinton.

After decades of rumors and speculation, Olivia de Havilland finally addressed her alleged feud with sister and fellow actress Joan Fontaine, on her 100th birthday. In an interview with the Associated Press, de Havilland admitted that her relationship with Fontaine, whom she took to calling “Dragon Lady,” was strained, but she stopped short of calling it a “feud.” “A feud implies continuing hostile conduct between two parties. I cannot think of a single instance wherein I initiated hostile behavior,” she said. “But I can think of many occasions where my reaction to deliberately inconsiderate behavior was defensive.” Also Read: Happy 100th Birthday Olivia de Havilland,...
