#REVIEW: “COCAINE BEAR”
By Mr. Will Wong
A story so unbear-lievable it had to be true. Sorta.
In 1985, a Black Bear was found dead in Northern Georgia. Along with it were 40 opened plastic containers of Cocaine from a duffel bag, resulting in its death after having consumed a lethal quantity of the drug. The Cocaine was dropped out of a plane after it had been carrying too heavy a load, resulting in an escaping convicted drug dealer falling to his death after a parachute failed to launch.

#REVIEW: “ANT-MAN AND THE WASP: QUANTUMANIA”
Review by George Kozera for Mr. Will Wong

At a Disney industry event last November, they showed a preview of the latest in the Series and I was immediately intrigued with its darker tone and imagery. Not only does ...

#REVIEW: “MAGIC MIKE’S LAST DANCE”
Review by George Kozera for Mr. Will Wong
When âMagic Mikeâ hit the theatres in 2012, it created a tsunami. Not only was it a critical and financial success, the Movie shot its star, Channing Tatum, into the stratosphere and made him a superstar. Loosely-based on Tatumâs earlier career as an exotic dancer, the Movie was not only sexy, the characters were well-developed (no pun intended!) with relatable issues and struggles. The coterie of strippers returned to the big screen with ...

#REVIEW: “KNOCK AT THE CABIN”
Review by Nicholas Porteous for Mr. Will Wong
What would you do if you were presented with a choice between sacrificing a family member and saving 7 billion lives? Before you lock in your answerâDave Bautista is the one asking. Rupert Grint is there too (among others). Thereâs no evidence to suggest the Apocalypse is about to unfold, and they all sound like theyâre in a cult!
This outrageously contrived hypothetical is the engine that drives M Night Shyamalanâs latest ...
