#REVIEW: “AVENGERS: ENDGAME”

Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong Eleven years, twenty-one movies and one final epic conclusion Marvel delivers yet again with not only the best Avengers movie to-date, but the best in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Avengers: Endgame delivers on all fronts and fulfills its promise as we conclude the epic Infinity Saga.

#REVIEW: “HIGH LIFE”

Review by George Kozera for Mr. Will Wong We first meet Monte (Robert Pattinson in an award-worthy performance) gently attending to his baby daughter. Shot in close-ups, it is heartwarming but we see a mixture of deep love and fear in Monte’s eyes and quickly learn that they are the last survivors on a mission in outer space. We see him dress the dead crew members in spacesuits and throw them one by one off the space craft. As the bodies float in the twinkling darkness, the credit HIGH ... Read more

#REVIEW: “STOCKHOLM”

Review by George Kozera for Mr. Will Wong STOCKHOLM is based on a true story about a bank robbery and hostage situation that took place in in the late 70s. The actual event coined the phrase “Stockholm Syndrome” which is when hostages come to sympathize with their captors. And as the Movie plays out, we can understand this feeling. We first meet Kaj (played superbly by Ethan Hawke) as we dons a disguise making him look like a member of the Rolling Stones circa the Sticky Fingers album ... Read more

#REVIEW: “HELLBOY”

Review by Jonathan Godfrey for Mr. Will Wong Comic Book Movies are 80 years young, and bigger than ever before. Shazam just struck a chord with fans, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe soon will hit its crescendo with Avengers: Endgame. Sandwiched in-between is Hellboy, the reboot of Mike Mignola’s occult icon. Hellboy was first brought to screens in 2004 by Guillermo del Toro. He took the source material and made two magical movies. They were unique from the comics, far less inspired by ... Read more

#REVIEW: “MISSING LINK”

Review by George Kozera for Mr. Will Wong MISSING LINK opens with 19th century British explorer/monster-hunter, Sir Lionel Frost, watching calculatingly bemused as his assistant is swallow genuinely-funny by the Loch Ness Monster. As voiced by Hugh Jackman, Frost may be brave, but we learn quickly he is also incredibly self-centered and an incorrigible snob as well. However, his pomposity is lessened when compared to Lord Pigott-Dunceby (Stephen Fry), the chairman of the Optimates Club, a ... Read more

#REVIEW: “PET SEMATARY”

Review by Jonathan Godfrey for Mr. Will Wong The tagline, “sometimes dead is better,” is a reminder that life isn’t everything. All things must pass, including us… but what if there were a way to raise the dead? We’ve asked ourselves this question since time immemorial. Pet Sematary asks a secondary, and more sinister question: what if the dead weren’t the same when they arose? King came up with the concept for Pet Sematary when he returned to Maine and found that the children in ... Read more

#REVIEW: “SHAZAM!”

Review by Mr. Will Wong DC Comics at long last get their due, achieving a fine balance of heart, nostalgia and superhero action in their latest, SHAZAM! Filmed right here in Toronto, the Philadelphia-set story centers on orphan Billy Batson (Asher Angel) whom after several stints in adopted homes, lands in the care of the Vazquez family. Determined once again for it not to work out as their now sixth adopted child, Billy one day finds himself transported to a different realm on a subway ride ... Read more

#REVIEW: “THE BEACH BUM”

Review by George Kozera for Mr. Will Wong Writer/Director Harmony Korine is an anomaly. From his auspicious debut at the age of 19 as the Screenwriter of Larry Clark’s KIDS to his last effort where he directed James Franco to unforeseen heights in SPRING BREAKERS seven years ago, his movies challenge, entertain and infuriate as well. With THE BEACH BUM, the most weed-centric movie since Cheech and Chong days, Korine visual style is beyond reproach but the Movie lacks a cohesive ... Read more
