Everything Everywhere All At Once is one of the best movies of 2022 and rightly hailed as a career coronation for its lead, Michelle Yeoh. But the performance of Ke Huy Quan as Waymond Wang is also extraordinary, especially considering he hadn’t acted in over two decades.
Quan quit acting due to the tenuous position of Asian performers in Hollywood but felt inspired to return after the runaway success of another film that starred Yeoh.
Still, the road to his casting in Everything Everywhere hinged on something he had no control over. Quan recently explained in an interview that the road to Waymond was paved with Andrew Yang memes.

Raakh Ashes To Ashes
Starring Shaad Randhawa, Vir Das, Richa Chadha(guest appearance)
Directed Milap Milan Zaveri
Rating: ***(3 stars)
Vendetta is the flavour of the season, at least for the short film category .Just the other day I saw Adil Hussain, chilling in his avtar as a revenge seeker who had poor Vaquar Shaikh tied up battered bruised and dying in an abandoned warehouse.
It’s déjà vu time now with Milap Zaveri, so far known for writing banana and dildo styled sex comedies, who hurls a steely revenge saga at us with a sure handed narrative style that is just short of being considered a clutter breaker for the purveyor of cheesy comedies.
The problem is, we’ve seen this before and as mentioned, quite recently. In the short film Bandhi Adil Hussain was far more powerful in his vendetta. The victim there was gagged and rendered voiceless. The...

David Walliams has been sending Simon Cowell up again in the latest Britain's Got Talent trailer and promotional pictures released today (March 24).
Walliams poses as one of the music mogul's nannies - although perhaps not one we'd ever employ - wearing a nurse's hat with a brunette wig and a short maid's dress, complete with white apron.
As the pair's friendship seems to be based on outdoing one another by playing practical jokes, we round up a few of their recent attempts to wind each other up:
Driving Cowell crazy
Oh, David! Here he is pretending to be Simon Cowell's chauffeur during Britain's Got Talent auditions at London's Hammersmith Apollo. Walliams emerged from a Rolls Royce in a smart suit and typical chauffeur hat, before opening the door for Cowell. Although we're still not entirely sure why.
Big fan male

As promised, MTV aired an alternate ending to their wildly popular reality show "The Hills" on Friday (Aug. 9) as a part of its "RetroMTVBrunch."
When the series famously called it quits in 2010, fans were shocked by the last few minutes, during which it was revealed that stars Kristen Cavallari and Brody Jenner were on a studio backlot, winking at the very clear fact that much about this "reality show" wasn't real at all.
So, how did things wrap up this time around? True to form, Cavallari still chose to move to Europe (Yes, the entire continent. What? She'd pick a country/city by the time she landed at Europe Central Airport. That's a thing, right?) and still had her goodbye with Jenner in which audiences who'd long stopped caring since the departure of original star Lauren Conrad attempted to muster an ounce of interest. And then things got funky.

Why is it that movies about outer space always involve creatures of the slithery, reptilian variety? Sorry, but these slimeballs just aren't that scary – or original
Like all critics, I live in fear of accidentally giving away the ending of a movie, fearing the wrath and derision of the public, even though the trailers for most films tell you exactly what is going to happen anyway. Be that as it may, I am not going to spoil anyone's fun by revealing how Ridley Scott's new film Prometheus ends. Does the crusading scientist played by Noomi Rapace ultimately discover the meaning of life? Does the icy czarina played by Charlize Theron finally get to meet the intelligent life form – or life forms – that created humanity in the first place? Does the cheeky robot played by Michael Fassbender ever get to speak with the creatures that created the creatures that created him?...
