The Orchard x Mr. Will want to give Readers a chance to win Run-of-Engagement Passes to see KINGS starring Daniel Craig and Halle Berry.

Synopsis:
Set against a backdrop of rising tensions in Los Angeles during the Rodney King trial in 1992, writer-director Deniz Gamze Ergüven‘s KINGS, stars Oscar winner Halle Berry and Daniel Craig as citizens of the same South Central neighbourhood.

MILLIE (Halle Berry) is a hardworking, tough and protective single mother with an affection for homeless children. She already has eight children living in her house and will soon bring home another. Her neighbor OBIE (Daniel Craig) is the local loose cannon, and the only white man in an area largely inhabited by African Americans, Latinos, and Koreans. With racial tensions running dangerously high, Millie and Obie would appear to be unlikely allies. Yet following the acquittal of four of the officers accused of beating Rodney King, these two must navigate the gathering chaos in the city to bring Millie‘s kids home safely.

Though KINGS doesn’t focus on the LA riots overall, it does delve into the impact and the fragility of family units during these circumstances. As the current social and political climate begins to mirror the turmoil and tensions of the past, the events depicted in Kings are, sadly, only more resonant today.

Slinky, sexy. We’ve waited a long time for new music from Ariana Grande and new Single NO TEARS LEFT TO CRY is gifted to us right in time for the weekend! Somewhat in the same vein as hits Be Alright and Into You from her Dangerous Woman Disc, with a bit of ’90s House Music meshed with current Pop sensibility and finished of course that signature emotional quiver in her voice.

Check-out the David Mayers-directed gravity-defying Video:

Right in time for Awards Season, THE OLD MAN & THE GUN gets a confirmed release date which suggests it just might be as great as it looks.

Synopsis:

THE OLD MAN & THE GUN is based on the true story of Forrest Tucker (Robert Redford), from his audacious escape from the San Quentin at the age of 70 to an unprecedented string of heists that confounded authorities and enchanted the public. Wrapped up in the pursuit are Detective John Hunt (Casey Affleck) who becomes captivated with Forrest for his commitment to his craft, and a woman (Sissy Spacek) who loves him despite his chosen profession. David Lowery (Pete’s Dragon, A Ghost Story) writes and directs.

Another Still:

This definitely looks like a TIFF ’18 contender, yes?

By George Kozera and Mr. Will Wong

Since the smash 2001 success of SUPER TROOPERS, Fans of the Broken Lizard Comedy Group have long been waiting on a follow-up. In Toronto to promote the anticipated Cult Hit Sequel were the men behind the laughs. Our George Kozera had the pleasure of chatting with Stars and Writers of SUPER TROOPERS 2 (directed by the Group’s Jay Chandrasekhar) including Erik Stolhanske (Rabbit), Paul Soter (Carl Foster) and Steve Lemme (Mac).

When a border dispute arises between the U.S. and Canada, our hapless heroes are called back to duty to patrol the disputed area (ironically, it’s in Quebec, notoriously accommodating to all things Anglophone!) You don’t have to be familiar with the original Movie as this sequel is fast and furious with laughter. We watch the five Americans try to make sense of the Canadian way of life…co-ed strip bars and a comprehensive health plan…a battle of “quien es mas macho” occurs, harvesting comic gold.

SUPER TROOPERS 2 not only throws jokes and gags at a frenetic pace, the celebrity camero are equally abundant. Rob Lowe, Lynda Carter, Jim Gaffigan and Fred Savage representing the red, white and blue, while Emmanuelle Chriqui, Will Sasso (brilliantly impersonating the vocal stylings of former Prime Minister Jean Chrétien), Tyler Labine and Bruce McCulloch as the Canadian contingent.

George chats with Stolhanske, Soter and Soter about the differences between screening this Film for Canadian vs. American audience, the decision to release the Film on a day synonymous with Cannabis Culture and also some of the exciting said cameos. Is it safe to say the Trio are obsessed with MRWILLWONG.COM?
