#REVIEW: “THE INFILTRATOR”
Review by David Baldwin for Mr. Will Wong
It’s the 1980’s and U.S. Customs Service special agent Robert Mazur (Bryan Cranston) is eligible for retirement after being injured in an undercover sting operation. But he is not ready to quit just yet. He decides instead to go back undercover as a corrupt businessman, where he helps launder money for drug cartels linked to legendary drug lord Pablo Escobar. But the deeper Mazur gets, the more dangerous his job becomes.
The true story at the ...

#REVIEW: “SUICIDE SQUAD”
Expectations truly are impossible for David Ayer's DC Comics Adaptation, Suicide Squad and despite it managing to be an artfully-conceptualized piece - everything from its stunning CGI to costumes and a frenetic soundtrack (ranging from Twenty One Pilots to Eminem to Queen), it ultimately is lacking strength at the core.
Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) spends much of the introduction briefing us on our Supervillains. One by one in comical form, we learn their individual stories as she ...

#REVIEW: “HOW HE FELL IN LOVE”
Review by George Kozera for Mr. Will Wong
There is a searing authenticity to writer/director Marc Meyers’ third indie feature, How He Fell in Love, that is both electrifying and frustrating. The movie opens with Travis (Matt McGorry) attending the wedding of his ex-girlfriend and then sharing a ride back to Manhattan with Ellen (Amy Hargreaves), an older, married yoga instructor. Travis is a struggling musician who works full time in advertising and Ellen’s marriage to an older man is in ...

#REVIEW: “JASON BOURNE”
Review by David Baldwin for Mr. Will Wong
Prior to this week, I had only watched The Bourne Identity and never managed to find the time to catch up on the other adventures in the Bourne saga. I finally watched them all in succession and like most people, I found The Bourne Legacy to be an immense let down. But I was impressed by the technical wizardry at play in The Bourne Supremacy and the Oscar-winning The Bourne Ultimatum. They both were down and dirty Action Pictures in the classical ...

#REVIEW: “BAD MOMS”
All is not well in the world of Amy Mitchell (Mila Kunis), an overworked thirtysomething mother of two. She isn't happy with her marriage, doesn't feel appreciated by her two children, work demands are getting the best of her and she's constantly tardy due to an over-crammed schedule. Judged by the watchful eyes of PTA Matriarch, Gwendolyn (Christina Applegate), Amy seems at any moment on the verge of crumbling.
After her world finally is turned upside down, Amy is given the chance to ...

#REVIEW: “NERVE”
Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong
Screenwriter Jessica Sharzer pens the perfect balance between Fight Club and Pokemon Go in the adaptation of Nerve, written by Jeanne Ryan. Now saying that Nerve is a combination of an incredibly well-done violent Movie that hinders on the psyche and a videogame that has essentially consumed the world, is not necessarily a bad thing. It takes elements of both and turns it into a product that truly works. We have players and watchers, similarly we ...

#REVIEW: “CAFÉ SOCIETY”
Review by Siobhán Rich for Mr. Will Wong
There are few figures in Hollywood more divisive than Woody Allen. The Writer/Director has his detractors and they will eagerly line-up to say why they won’t watch his Movies. I begin with this acknowledgement only to highlight why it is important to set aside personal biases and look at a Movie as an individual being separate from whatever history or opinions one may have about its creator. While many aspects of Café Society can be paralleled to ...

Review by Siobhán Rich for Mr. Will Wong
The Star Trek that Gene Roddenberry first introduced the world to in 1966 has moved past the small screen, to the big screen, and now thanks to the Barco Escape Experience the Starship Enterprise is ready to once again boldly go where no one has gone before. The new ultra-panoramic format has finally arrived at Cineplex’s Scotiabank Theatres in Toronto, Edmonton, and Vancouver just in time for Star Trek Beyond.
The Barco Escape Experience is a ...

#REVIEW: “LIGHTS OUT”
Review by Jonathan Godfrey for Mr. Will Wong
Lights Out began as a short. In 2013, David Sandberg submitted nearly three minutes of scares to Bloody Cuts first ever Film Challenge, “Who’s There.” Sandberg took home “Best Director” that year, and gained massive internet attention thereafter. Later he teamed up with James Wan to stretch his short into a feature, and scare us silly this summer.
Teresa Palmer stars as Rebecca, a troubled woman from a troubled home. Her mother has ...

#REVIEW: “ICE AGE: COLLISION COURSE”
Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong
It has been four years since Mike Thurmeier delivered an installment in the Ice Age Franchise and along with him we have Writers Michael J. Wilson and Michael Berg returning in Ice Age: Collision Course is a perfect Sequel that the target audience will enjoy immensely. While some of the jokes and gags are geared to the parents and an older audience, which they will enjoy, the Film more grabs the children’s attention.
This Movie starts off ...
