#REVIEW: “THE CONJURING 2”
Review by Jonathan Godfrey for Mr. Will Wong
No genre of Film is as beloved by its fans as Horror is. So its little wonder that following Furious 7, James Wan returns with The Conjuring 2. This Followup to the 2013 original reunites Wan with twin writers Chad & Carey Hayes (The Reaping). It also brings David Leslie Johnson (Orphan) nto the pack of penmen. Suffice it to say, this is a thrill ride that knows how to twist and turn.
As the story goes, in 1978 American spook sleuths Ed ...

Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong
Screenwriter Ed Solomon returns to the Now You See Me Sequel along with director Jon M. Chu to bring the audience a Movie that is incredibly-entertaining and filled with as much fun and excitement as its first installment. Now You See Me 2 has a similar plot point to the first Movie, except this time they’re a little more clear about who The Eye is and have to pull off an even more elaborate heist this time and welcome some new players to the ...

#REVIEW: “WARCRAFT”
Review by David Baldwin for Mr. Will Wong
If you have not had the opportunity to watch Moon or Source Code, stop reading and watch them immediately. Still here? Then you already know what an incredible talent Writer/Director Duncan Jones is and are excited to see whatever the son of the late David Bowie cooks up next. I never imagined it would be Warcraft, an adaptation of a once immensely popular PC game series. And having only a passing knowledge of the series, I was skeptical to say the ...

#REVIEW: “POPSTAR: NEVER STOP NEVER STOPPING”
Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong
Where does one even start with a Movie that is written by the three members of The Lonely Island and directed by two of the three members? Well for starters it is the most entertaining Movie of the year. That is not hyperbole, it is outright outrageously hilarious for a Movie that runs 86 minutes where approximately 75 of those minutes are spent laughing uncontrollably. I honestly cannot remember a time where I was so overjoyed by a Movie that I was ...

#REVIEW: “ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS”
Review by Siobhán Rich for Mr. Will Wong
When Lewis Carroll first introduced Wonderland, people were astounded at the fantastical world he had created. It was place where smiling cats, talking rabbits and blood thirsty queens existed beyond the realms of imagination and seemed as real to his readers as they did to young Alice. In 2010, Tim Burton reimagined that world as a vivid Technicolor acid trip and people flocked to the cinemas to meet his new Alice and follow her down the rabbit hole. ...

Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong
Bryan Singer is back with his fourth X-Men Film as he attempts to continue the franchise he built back in 2000 and then returned to in 2014.
