Thor: Ragnarok By Emily Hubbard  Taika Waititi gives a much-needed makeover to the God of Thunder and crew 5/5 Cameras 🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥 Directed by: Taika Waititi Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Mark Ruffalo, and Tessa Thompson Where to find it: Disney + No Copyright Infringement Intended  The Marvel Cinematic Universe (or MCU for short) is the world’s biggest movie (and now television) franchise. From the game-changing Iron Man to the unexpectedly great Guardians of the Galaxy, most people are likely to be aware of at least one entry in the ever-expanding superhero universe. You’d be forgiven, however, for not being all too familiar with the Thor franchise, as its first two movies are widely considered lacklustre compared to the rest of the MCU. However, just when it seemed like all hope was lost with the Asgardian God’s solo adventures, New Zealand powerhouse Taika Waititi swooped in and saved the day with the ultra-hilarious and refreshingly vibrant Thor: Ragnarok.

  Our Favourite Directors  To celebrate hitting 1000 views, we thought we would each dive into our five favourite directors. With so many great choices available there’s a good chance these lists could change day to day, but right now, here are each of our favourites! 1. Taika Waititi Taika Waititi is undoubtedly one of the most in-demand directors in current cinema, but I’m going to be honest, like a lot of other people, my first introduction to Waititi’s work was through 2017’s Thor: Ragnarok.

His work outside of the land of superheroes, however, is even more impressive. Oscar-winning Jojo Rabbit is a touching, yet absurd, film set in Nazi Germany that highlights t...

Free Guy  By Emily Hubbard Ryan Reynolds stars in the surprise hit of the summer  4/5 Cameras 🎥🎥🎥🎥 Directed by: Shawn Levy Starring: Ryan Reynolds, Jodie Comer, Joe Keery, and Taika Waititi Where to find it: Disney + and in cinemas  No Copyright Infringement Intended  Surprises are great, no matter how big or how small they may be. It could be a visit from a friend you haven’t seen in years, or just simply getting 10 chicken nuggets in your meal instead of 9. No matter the magnitude, a surprise is always great, which is partially what makes Free Guy so enjoyable. I have to confess, from its’ trailers I had low expectations of this film, expecting a low brow, cringey, run-of-the-mill Ryan Reynolds movie, but the end result could not have been more of a welcome surprise that resulted in a film that will almost definitely finish near the top of my year-end list. Directed by Shawn Levy, the man behind Night at the Museum, Free Guy follows Guy (Ryan Reynolds), an ex...
