Dr Stephen Strange casts a forbidden spell that opens a portal to the multiverse. However, a threat emerges that may be too big for his team to handle.

Review: After all the teases and the potential plot discussions, the Multiverse of Madness has finally arrived and the bigger question remains if it's up to the mark. Well, it's a yes and a no. A no if you've been following too many of the theories which could've led to a mammoth of expectations from the movie and a yes because of a variety of reasons. A direct continuation of WandaVision and Far From Home, the Multiverse of Madness just scratches the surface of the Multiverse with this outing, which is great because since the Fourth Phase of MCU is inherently believed to be based on the Multiverse, you're comfortable in knowing there's so much more yet to come. In all honesty, beyond the Multiverse, it's the story of Doctor Strange and Wanda Maximoff with predominantly being Wanda's. Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda takes out all her guns in this outing, unleashing herself as the most dangerous villain you've seen as yet, even exceeding Thanos, in my opinion at least. This was also evident in Endgame when Thanos had to resort to 'Rainfire' when he encountered her. That Wanda has now grown 10x or more powerful. She was the show stealer in Multiverse of Madness similar to how Thanos and Thor were for Infinity War. Doctor Strange plays the perfect antagonist in her mind. American Chavez is also integral to the plot for obvious reasons e.g her multiversal travel abilities. How the three are interlinked goes back to the ending of WandaVision, a show which is significant and a prerequisite for every viewer who's going to watch this movie. With Sam Raimi on board known for his Evil Dead series, there are plenty of horror moments with jump scares included, which is unarguably a welcome addition to the MCU. MCU has been experimenting as of late with different styles of storytelling, thereby remaining relevant in the process. And it's the right choice because one can only do so much in the superhero genre. With a sitcom like presentation for WandaVision, Dynamic presentation of Moon Knight focusing on mental conflict and now elements of horror in this movie, it's an experiment which seems to be working. But yes, the movie does seem chopped because of quick change of scenes, but I guess it was done to put more focus on the pace of the movie and to avoid distraction from the central characters. My suggestion is to go into this without expecting a lot of theories you've read because in it's truest form it's an excellent film and a great harbinger for all the 'true' multiverse madness which is to follow.

Fresh is a movie which switches its genres 30 minutes in. It starts out as a Rom-Com with subtle hints of the horrors to follow. It's exactly after 30 minutes the opening credits roll in certifying the movie has begun because that's when the movie transitions into a Black Comedy Thriller. And although it's a promising and interesting start, that's also when the movie suddenly goes downhill and transitions into a pack of cliches. Even though I suspected from the get go where this is going to go since there are plenty of movies based on the same subject, I wanted to give it a chance because of the reviews I had read, but unfortunately the script is so bad and illogical that I ended up fast forwarding the final 40 minutes. It's not the fault of the actors because Sebastian Stan (Aka Winter Soldier/Bucky) plays his character perfectly well and puts on quiet comfortably his finest performance, but unfortunately the script turns out to be just bland that even the performances are unable to save it from a disaster. At some points the movie is confused itself if it intends to be dark or a black comedy. But anyways, it is what it is and my recommendation is to Skip It.

My oh my, what have I just watched. The Outfit is a rare gem gone unnoticed. I'm literally thinking of words to describe this piece of art. Just when I thought the mob thrillers are going through the same shtick, out comes The Outfit with a very unique take on the subject. It's a steady and slow burn thriller with plenty of twists and turns to catch you off guard. A cat and mouse thriller supplemented by a game of wits. It's a rare movie which feels like a theatrical experience, with just one setting of a tailor shop throughout the movie complemented by one of the finest scripts and performances. The Protagonist Mark Rylance as Leonard just steals the show altogether with a performance you don't often get to witness. It's hard to speak so much without spoiling it because trust me once this movie gets going, it's hard to figure out if one's lying or telling the truth, alas a game of wits. Please watch this.
