#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 âWhen I think of home, I think of a place where thereâs love overflowing.â 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 â I am not a Fan of Kevin Hartâs Filmography and have found Will Ferrellâs especially of late, to be hit or miss. So pairing them together in this weekâs 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 ...

#REVIEW: “TRACERS”
Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong
New Director Daniel Benmayor takes on a rather challenging task in his Parkour-Bike Messenger Movie, Tracers. For those unaware, Parkour is a form of military obstacle course training where the human body and surroundings are used for propulsion, focusing on safety.  The Movie takes little time to get started, but the Story is engaging and interesting enough with a Plot twist that no one sees coming, breaking clear of the formulaic.
The Story ...

#REVIEW: “THE GUNMAN”
Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong
Director Pierre Morel is responsible for Action Cult Classics such as Taken and District B13 (which the Movie Brick Mansions is based upon) however, he misses the high mark he has established for himself in latest effort, The Gunman. This however doesn't mean it isn't entertaining in spots.
Jim Terrier (Sean Penn) is one of the Worldâs best Marksmen, as he is one of the Leaders of a Mercenary Team that has chosen some very powerful targets to ...

#REVIEW: “CINDERELLA”
Review by Justin Waldman and Mr. Will Wong
Part of the challenge of adapting a widely-beloved Tale is that it is difficult to appease everyone when expectations are stratospheric. However, even without the Music that made us fall in love with Cinderella as Children in the 1950 Original from Disney, Director Kenneth Branagh and Screenwriter Chris Weitz deliver still a beautiful Retelling of this timeless Classic.
For those who do not know the Story of Cinderella, it is about a young ...

#REVIEW: “THE HUNTING GROUND”
Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong
Kirby Dick certainly doesn't shy from disturbing topics. His last Film, The Invisible War, focused on Rape Culture in the Military.  In the United States, Universities/Colleges continually are faced with Sexual Assault allegations, but their resources leave much to be desired. The Hunting Ground sheds light on some of the most prestigious Schools in the U.S. and how they are handling the ever-alarming Rape Culture pandemic.
The Hunting ...
