#REVIEW: “TOP FIVE”
Review by Jonathan Godfrey for Mr. Will Wong
The term "Top Five" refers to an individual's favorite rap emcees. For example someone may say their Top Five is: Nas, 2-Pac, Drake, Kanye West and Eminem. While another person may respond with: Biggie, Jay-Z, Ice Cube, Andre 3000 and Slick Rick. The possibilities are endless, but what does that have to do with the Film by the same name?
Top Five is a Romantic-Comedy that is starring, written and directed by Chris Rock. It tells the tale of Andre ...

#REVIEW: “SERENA”
Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong
Danish Director Susanne Bier’s latest effort, the  long-awaited Depression Era Drama Serena,  comes with high expectations, reuniting Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle Co-Stars Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence a third time.  The Film is based on the Bestseller by Author Ron Rash. Other than some watchable performances from a talented Ensemble, telling a Story of corruption and jealousy, regrettably we cannot help but feel it misses ...

#REVIEW: “CORNER GAS: THE MOVIE”
Review by George Kozera for Mr. Will Wong
Fans of Dog River, Saskatchewan and its quirky Inhabitants rejoice – CORNER GAS: THE MOVIE is coming to a Movie Theatre near you. I must admit, in full disclosure, that I was not a regular Viewer of the highly-successful and multi-award-winning TV Series in its six-season run on CTV, but I had watched enough shows to know the Characters and each of their idiosyncratic personalities.
I approached viewing the long awaited cinematic version with ...

#REVIEW: “WILD”
Based on the Memoir WILD: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed, WILD certainly has generated its share of buzz on the Festival Circuit pre-Awards season. Reese Witherspoon goes through yet another reinvention here in a Career which has seen both Oscars for her turn as June Carter Cash and massive teen fandom in the adored Legally Blonde franchise. In an already successful year which has seen her win quiet victories in a Producer's role for massively-successful Gone ...

#REVIEW: “PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR”
Review by George Kozera for Mr. Will Wong
Let’s be real - who doesn’t love Penguins? After we learned so much about these adorable, tuxedo-clad Creatures in the Oscar-winning Documentary, March of the Penguins, their media saturation rivals that of Beyoncé: they’re featured in Television Commercials, Prints Ads and as the incredibly charming sidekicks in the 2005 DreamWorks animated Classic Madagascar, Movie Stars. After they proved their mettle in the successful TV series (still ...

#REVIEW: “HORRIBLE BOSSES 2”
Review by David Baldwin for Mr. Will Wong
I was not a huge fan of 2011’s Horrible Bosses, but I still love the concept. Honestly, who has not hated their boss at one or more of their jobs? Sure, the idea of murdering them may seem a bit extreme, but the BS that Nick (Jason Bateman), Kurt (Jason Sudeikis) and Dale (Charlie Day) all faced in their lackluster careers is universal and something almost anyone could identify with. Rather obviously, this is where the Film found the majority of its ...

#REVIEW: “THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY, PART 1”
Review by Jonathan Godfrey for Mr. Will Wong
Suzanne Collins has gifted the Literary and now Moviegoing World with the remarkable Katniss Everdeen - a contemporary exemplification of Womanhood: its poetic strengths, emotional vigor; and divine connection to life.  And when it comes to the role of Katniss, it isn’t correct to say that Jennifer Lawrence simply is reprising the role -  she remains Katniss. Her bow, experience and heart remain in Lawrence's worthy hands.
Director Francis ...

#REVIEW: “DUMB AND DUMBER TO”
Review by David Baldwin for Mr. Will Wong
In 1994, idiotic Duo Lloyd (Jim Carrey) and Harry (Jeff Daniels) hit the road in Dumb and Dumber. And now 20 years later, the Two are reunited and back on the road to find a Daughter Harry never knew he had.
If you were a big fan of Dumb and Dumber, rest assured, you will find a lot to like in Dumb and Dumber To. Bobby and Peter Farrelly have completely ignored the short-lived animated series and the unwatchable Prequel Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry ...

#REVIEW: “BIG HERO 6”
Review by Jonathan Godfrey for Mr. Will Wong
Over a year ago now, Disney and Marvel announced that they would be releasing a 3D Animated Superhero Project titled, Big Hero 6. As far as Superheroes go, the aforementioned Sextuplet will be something new to imitate and enjoy. That said, they didn’t appear out of nowhere. No, these Do-Gooders were lifted from the pages of a 90s Comic by the same name. But for the most part the title is all the Film took, that and the Characters’ ...

#REVIEW: “THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING”
Review by David Baldwin for Mr. Will Wong
In the early 1960s, boy-meets-girl at a party, they lose track of each other, find each other, fall in love, and then boy gets diagnosed with a crippling disease that only gives him two years to live. Such is the True Story of Jane (Felicity Jones) and Dr. Stephen Hawking (Eddie Redmayne), and how they persevered despite the grim prognosis.
As directed by James Marsh (Oscar-winner for the documentary Man on Wire), The Theory of Everything goes through ...
