#REVIEW: “EASTER SUNDAY”
Review by Mr. Will Wong
Though EASTER SUNDAY takes elements we've seen before in Dysfunctional Family Comedies, it still does it in an impactful way speaking in a voice that is long overdue to be seen and heard.
Comedian Jo Koy is featured front and center here in this latest effort from fellow Funnyman/Director Jay Chandrasekhar. Koy places a fictionalized version of himself, Joe Valencia, who is struggling to get that next big gig, auditioning for an upcoming TV Series. He must balance ...

#REVIEW: “NOPE”
Review by David Baldwin for Mr. Will Wong

#REVIEW: “VENGEANCE”
Review by Nicholas Porteous for Mr. Will Wong
'You're a guy who already has everything. Why do you need a Podcast?', asks one of the Supporting Characters in B.J. Novak's directorial debut Vengeance, which he also writes and stars in. Instantly, this Movie needs to dig itself out of a hole. Our Protagonist has everything. He's just trying to get one more thing. The stakes could not be lower. And the new thing he's trying to get? It's a Podcast. Remember when I said the stakes could not be ...

#REVIEW: “THE GRAY MAN”
Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong
Anthony and Joe Russo, you either know them from your favourite Television Show, or you know them from your favourite Marvel movie (Winter Soldier, Civil War, Endgame, Infinity War). And when they get together and tell you they’re going to deliver an Action Movie with Ana De Armas, Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans, the excitement is palpable. However, when that Action Movie can arguably be put into the same category as Ethan Hunt, then it stamps itself ...

#REVIEW: “MR. MALCOLM’S LIST”
Review by George Kozera for Mr. Will Wong
Let us immediately address the elephant in the room. Can MR. MALCOLM’S LIST survive the scrutiny of being compared to “Bridgerton”? Both are Regency period pieces set in the 1800s, with an inclusive multi-racial Cast. Each has its share of dialogue spoken with impeccable British accents, while strolling in lush gardens or exquisite rooms in stately manors or the ubiquitous Balls.
Directed by Emma Holly Jones and written by Suzanne Allain (who ...

#REVIEW: “THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER”
Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong
The Marvel Cinematic Universe fatigue is real, there is no denying that fact. It was real before Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame but there was a clear payoff after a decade. With Phase Four of the MCU, we’re recoiling from the events of Endgame still while our heroes are trying to move on with their lives, figure out what’s going on, and just trying to live as best they can. However, fans are hitting a wall. There is simply too much ...
