#REVIEW: “YESTERDAY”

Review by George Kozera for Mr. Will Wong The Music of The Beatles has always been the Soundtrack to my life. Growing up, it influenced my musical tastes, exposed me to lyrics and feelings that were either romantic or surreal or plain old fashioned rocking, and even my fashion style (yes, I whined until my parents bought me a pair of Beatles boots and I embraced the psychedelic love beads look throughout my formative years!). To say that I was intrigued by the premise of YESTERDAY, the latest ... Read more

#REVIEW: “YESTERDAY”

Review by Mr. Will Wong Imagine a world without the music of John Lennon. Yesterday, the latest effort from Academy Award-winning Filmmaker Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire) examines this fantastical notion.

#REVIEW: “TOY STORY 4”

Review by George Kozera for Mr. Will Wong Historically speaking, TOY STORY 4 shouldn’t work. With the exception of Marvel movies, the fourth Feature film following a successful Trilogy is usually involves a rehashing of ideas. This is SO not the case this time around. I will even venture to predict that TOY STORY 4 will be the highest grossing movie in the storied Franchise. With lightning bolt precision and spectacular Animation, we see all the toys we know and love and there is even a ... Read more

#REVIEW: “CHILD’S PLAY”

Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong When the first promotional material came out for the new Child’s Play everyone was giving it a hard time because Buddi looked super weird and creepy, but Director Lars Klevberg uses that to play into the campiness of this new ridiculous, over-the-top, and occasionally hilarious take on Chucky, the new Child’s Play. It changes the origin story of Chucky enough to make it modern, while making it more believable, who are we kidding here voodoo – ... Read more

Jackson), for help. Director John Singleton’s Shaft was the first 14A film I ever went ... Read more

#REVIEW: “THE DEAD DON’T DIE”

Review by David Baldwin for Mr. Will Wong Jim Jarmusch is the kind of Director you either love to hate or hate to love. His Films are offbeat at best, and decidedly not Mainstream. He is a Filmmaker who makes movies for himself first and the audience second. And The Dead Don’t Die – which opened the prestigious Cannes Film Festival just over a month ago – is no different. Something odd is happening in the sleepy town of Centerville. Daylight seems to stretch on forever, and all the ... Read more
