#REVIEW: “THE AGE OF ADALINE”
On paper, it is tough to describe The Age of Adaline without feeling a great sense of disbelief, but as offerings in the Romance Genre continue to dwindle, we couldn't help but feel enchanted by this latest effort from Celeste & Jesse Forever Director Lee Toland Krieger.
The Fantasy is set around a widowed young Woman born in 1908 named Adaline (Blake Lively), whom after the most unusual combination of circumstances, finds herself ageless after an accident. As years pass and her looks ...

#REVIEW: “TIG” (HOT DOCS)
Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong
For first-time Directors Kristina Goolsby and Ashley York they had their work cut out for them as they documented the bravery of a now legendary comic, Tig Notaro. Being diagnosed with Breast Cancer is certainly no laughing matter, but for Tig the only way to deal with it was to talk about it and integrate it into a comedic routine. Tig’s Career skyrocketed just three days after she was diagnosed with Cancer and announced it to an Audience at ...

#REVIEW: “TRUE STORY”
Review by Jonathan Godfrey for Mr. Will Wong
The Industrial Age steamrolled its way into a Technological Era. Now time is measured in picoseconds and reality is pixelated. Fact appears like fiction and what defines a “true story” is tough to determine.
This sort of contemporary confusion is at the heart of the new Film, True Story. Aptly titled, it is adapted from the Novel,  True Story: Murder, Memoir, Mea Culpa. It is the Tale of blackballed Journalist Michael Finkel and brooding ...

#REVIEW: “UNFRIENDED”
Review by Amanda Gilmore for Mr. Will Wong
Unfriended is the most original Horror Film I have ever seen, and it’s the most timely. Using today’s technology and important messages about bullying and suicide, this is sure to resonate.
The entire Film is one shot of a Character’s computer screen. It begins with Blaire (Shelley Hennig) talking on Skype with her Boyfriend and quickly three of her Friends and a mystery Person are added to the conversation. The five Friends try to figure out ...

#REVIEW: “THE LONGEST RIDE”
For anyone who has seen a Nicholas Sparks Adaptation since his 2004 Phenomenon  The Notebook, Directors and Screenwriters have been trying to recreate the magic that The Notebook created, but few with the same success. However with the Duo of Craig Bolotin and George Tillman Jr., The Longest Ride falls into the same category as The Notebook. This however is partially similar because the Film switches back and forth between present day and the 1940s between two Love Stories that both tug ...

#REVIEW: “FURIOUS 7”
Review by Jonathan Godfrey for Mr. Will Wong
Fast & Furious, a storied Franchise that has outpaced its criticism, and outlasted the competition. At the onset it was little more than a millennial Rewrite of Kathryn Bigelow’s Point Break. Singleton’s chapter then went into overdrive and things took a turn for the worse… that is until Justin Lin and Tokyo Drift turned it all around.
Since Lin’s entry, the Franchise has found a space in Cinema that is irreplaceable. Dom and his Crew ...

#REVIEW: “WOMAN IN GOLD”
Despite the atrocities of World War II being well-documented, the World since has been gifted with some powerful stories of pain, perseverance and survival.  WOMAN IN GOLD is a Story that needs to be told and a Film which leaves you feeling elevated through it all.  Director Simon Curtis, dazzled us with 2011's Golden Globe Award-winning My Week with Marilyn and comes back solid  with this Drama based on a precedent-setting True Story.
Meet Maria Altman (Helen Mirren), an 80-year-old ...

#REVIEW: “LAST KNIGHTS”
Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong
Fans of Director Kazuaki Kiriya, will find that his latest effort Last Knights, feels rather familiar. His other two previous Films Goemon and Casshern are a cut from a similar cloth and appeal - a revenge Story with a gripping Third Act, although the Audience's patience is tested a bit before the big payoff.
Last Knights is a Revenge Story that would have ended within 15 minutes if Raiden (Clive Owen) were not a true Hero, after being ...

#REVIEW: “HOME”
Review by George Kozera for Mr. Will Wong
One of my all-time favourite songs in a Broadway Musical is from The Wiz and it starts with “When I think of home, I think of a place where there’s love overflowing.” When I think of HOME, the latest DreamWorks Animated Feature, I can feel the love but what I am missing is the passion.
The Story is about a race of Aliens, called the Boov, that Commandeer the planet Earth to escape from their Enemy, the Gorg. Before inhabiting Earth, the Boov ...

#REVIEW: “GET HARD”
Review by David Baldwin for Mr. Will Wong
Full admission right from the start – I am not a Fan of Kevin Hart’s Filmography and have found Will Ferrell’s especially of late, to be hit or miss. So pairing them together in this week’s Get Hard does sound amusing on paper, but also makes me immediately skeptical. The idea of a Millionaire Hedge Fund Manager (Ferrell) turning to a Criminal (Hart) to help prepare for his impending jail time sounds rather funny in theory (and immediately ...
