It's only recently that Asian representation in the Hollywood industry has picked up - the first film with a predominantly Asian cast, Flower Drum Song, was released in 1961, while the third such movie, Crazy Rich Asians, was only released in theatres in 2018, a whopping 47 years later! Although, since then, there have been a slew of movies prominently...

If there's one adjective we'd use to describe this movie starring Michelle Yeoh, we'd call it wacky… to say the least. Yeoh plays Evelyn, a Chinese-American immigrant being audited by the Internal Revenue Service who must harness her newfound powers to work with parallel universe versions of herself to save the multiverse from destruction.

Crazy Rich Asians has a rather star-studded cast, including Ken Jeong as Goh Wye Mun, and Gemma Chan as Astrid Leong. Michelle Yeoh also puts on a spectacular performance as Eleanor Young, Nick's mother. You'll also spot familiar faces that you usually see on our local channels, like Pierre Png, Fiona Xie and Tan Kheng Hua.

When the people residing in the fantasy world of Kumandra are threatened once again by Druun who wiped out the dragons 500 years ago, a warrior named Raya embarks on a journey to find a legendary dragon, Sisu and stop the Druun for good. Along the way, they forge new friendships with Namaari , Tong and more.

The prolific Tony Leung portrays Xu Wenwu, Shang-chi's father, while Fala Chen and Awkwafina take on the roles of Shang-chi's mother and best friend respectively.The legend of Chang Er is one that most of us are familiar with - she ingested an immortality pill originally meant for her lover, Hou Yi, in an attempt to stop an enemy from stealing it. Thereafter, Chang Er ascended to heaven, but still longing to be as close to Hou Yi as possible, she chose to settle on the moon.
