  Everything Everywhere All at Once By Emily Hubbard A24 produce a hilarious, gut-wrenching, and absolutely bonkers trip through the multiverse  5/5 Cameras 🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥 Directed by: Daniel Kwan, and Daniel Scheniert Starring: Michelle Yeoh, Stephanie Hsu, Ke Huy Quan, and Jamie Lee Curtis  No Copyright Infringement Intended  If you’re a movie fan, you’ll know that Hollywood like to go through phases; The Rom-Com phase, The Western Phase, and more recently, The Superhero Phase. Now it seems, whilst Hollywood is still holding onto the latter, a new phase is emerging, The Multiverse Phase. Evidenced by movie titans Marvel Studios' recent flurry of universe-hopping releases, such as Spider-Man: No Way Home, and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, there seems to be a thirst for this type of genre. However, Marvel’s releases may have somewhat lacked in showing a wide range of universes (despite certain films’ titles), whereas Everything Everywhere All At Once grasp...

Gunpowder Milkshake (2021 By Emily Hubbard Karen Gillan led team-up doesn’t punch as hard as it hoped 3/5 Cameras 🎥🎥🎥 Directed by: Navot Papushado Starring: Karen Gillan, Lena Headey, Michelle Yeoh, and Angela Bassett Where to find it: In Cinemas Now and on Sky Cinema  No Copyright Infringement Intended  If you were to pitch me a film with the premise ‘a female John Wick starring Karen Gillan and featuring Michelle Yeoh and Angela Bassett’ I would immediately throw a big wad of money at you and demand to watch it instantly on the biggest screen possible.

Early on in the film, a series of events leads to Sam (Karen Gillan), and a group of female assassins, ha...

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021) By Calum Whitfield and Emily Hubbard Marvel’s master martial artist finally makes his big-screen debut in yet another entertaining entry in the MCU canon. 4/5 Cameras 🎥🎥🎥🎥 Directed by: Destin Daniel Cretton Starring: Simu Liu, Awkwafina, Meng'er Zhang, Tony Leung, and Michelle Yeoh Where to find it: In Cinemas Now No Copyright Infringement Intended The MCU is the biggest film franchise in the world, and with 24 entries before this one as well as several TV shows it’s impressive that it’s churned out a hell of a lot more hits than misses both financially and critically. But surely after 13 years, the bubble must be ready to burst soon. Is Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, the 25 th entry, the one to do that? The plot follows the character of Shang-Chi (played by Kim’s Convenience alum Simu Liu), a valet working alongside his best friend Katy (Awkwafina) at a San-Francisco hotel, who happens to be the son of immortal Ten-...
