#REVIEW: “LOVE AGAIN”
By Mr. Will Wong
I recall being quite bummed that we never got a chance to review LOVE AGAIN when it had its theatrical run, but luckily soon enough comes its at-home release. There are two types of people in this world. The type who cringe at Rom-Coms and others like me, who feel the genre unjustly is under-represented.
The Film by Jim Strouse certainly isn't short on talent. It is set against the backdrop of Céline Dion's music with Priyanka Chopra-Jonas starring as Mira, a ...

#REVIEW: “FORCE OF NATURE”
Review by David Baldwin for Mr. Will Wong
When I was much younger, I loved watching Mel Gibson movies with my Dad. He was one of his favourite actors and the Lethal Weapon films were in constant rotation in our VCR. It is these fond memories that really put me at odds with what we know now about who Gibson is when he is not in front of the camera. And those feelings were exactly why I decided to give his newest film, Force of Nature, a chance. The Film revolves around a group of art thieves ...

#REVIEW: “JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 3 – PARABELLUM” BLU-RAY
Following its $320 million-grossing success internationally, JOHN WICK 3: CHAPTER 3 - PARABELLUM surfaces via Home Entertainment. Fans of the Franchise can expect the same "ass-kicking" and thrills we've come to expect of the stuntman-turned-Filmmaker Chad Stahelski-directed Series as we see Wick (Keanu Reeves) become excommunicado with every assassin out to get him with a $14-million bounty on his head. The Cinematography by Dan Laustsen (The Shape of Water) is phenomenal and more importantly, ...

#REVIEW: “INSTANT FAMILY” ON BLU-RAY
INSTANT FAMILY is a Film of the now. We've finally embraced that there is nothing more relatable than a family with dysfunction. Director/Writer Sean Anders crafts a heartwarming Film which doesn't shy away from the ugly side of what it takes to be a family and does it with a lighthearted finesse.
The Comedy centers on a couple, Pete (Mark Wahlberg) and Ellie (Rose Byrne) whom after receiving a lot of taunting from their family, jokingly and then eventually seriously, decide to pursue ...

#REVIEW: “THE WIFE” ON BLU-RAY
By Mr. Will Wong
While it premiered at TIFF '17, Björn Runge's THE WIFE's path to the Oscars has been a slow, steady burn, not unlike unraveling of its characters.

They receive the surprise that Joseph will be awarded a Nobel Prize in Literature. Together with their son David (Max Irons), they are Stockholm-bound. The Story is told much ...
