#REVIEW: “MARRY ME”
Review by George Kozera for Mr. Will Wong
In the interest of full disclosure, I am going to put this out right away and in front: I love Jennifer Lopez Rom-Coms. At the risk of being labelled low-brow or biased, her movies take me to a place that is comforting and entertaining and I have, many times, put plans aside if I see a television station program “Monster-in-Law”, “Maid in Manhattan” or “The Wedding Planner”, snuggle-up in front of the TV with a chilled vodka martini and let ...

#REVIEW: “DEATH ON THE NILE”
Review by Nicholas Porteous for Mr. Will Wong
In Death On The Nile - Kenneth Branagh's followup to 2017's Murder on the Orient Express - Inspector Poirot is back, and he has a metric ton of bland character motivations to convey before the inevitable murder! If you saw Murder On The Orient Express - or perhaps even just the Trailer for Murder and now Nile, as I did - you know what you're signing-up for: a cavalcade of stars and character actors, all with something to gain from murder, gathering ...

#REVIEW: “JACKASS FOREVER”
By Nicholas Porteous for Mr. Will Wong
The Jackasses are back, and for better or worse they haven't changed one iota. Experiencing Jackass Forever is just like getting on a very long, rickety roller coaster from the past. I knew exactly what I was getting, I got it over and over, and I felt a little sick by the end. 'It' being painful slapstick stunts, every bodily fluid, and the contagious energy of adult children licking batteries, rendered on the largest scale possible.
The ...

#REVIEW: “ALINE”
By Mr. Will Wong
On paper it all seems ridiculous. A fictionalization of the life of iconic Céline Dion, made without her involvement. But then again, Dion's life has been anything but ordinary, so a Film that swings big, is fitting! ALINE is co-written, directed by and starring double César winner Valérie Lemercier, and like the subject whom the story is based upon, it overcomes expectations to what is a triumph.
We meet Aline Dieu just as a child growing-up in family of some 50+... if ...

#REVIEW: “THE KING’S DAUGHTER”
Review by George Kozera for Mr. Will Wong
THE KING’S DAUGHTER opens deliciously with the iconic Julie Andrews narrating a scene where a young lady, Marie-Josephe (Kaya Scodelario) is having problems with her superiors in the convent (…how can you NOT break into a chorus of “Maria’s not an asset to the abbey”?) and is followed by the next scene which has King Louis XlV surviving an assassination attempt, that only intensifies his attempt to achieve immortality by any means. Louis XlV ...
