#REVIEW: “BAD WORDS”

Several great Films have been made about child-adult role reversals. We had a hankering for Tom Hanks who touched our hearts in Big. Jennifer Garner garnered our affections in 13 Going on 30.  Zac Efron had us going fronatic, making our eyes misty in Seventeen Again. Bad Words, directed/produced by and starring Jason Bateman, possesses a similar sweet, fantastical quality about it which has us suspending our disbelief for a good 90 minutes in what otherwise is a pretty ridiculous ...

#REVIEW: “MUPPETS MOST WANTED”

Review by Jonathan Godfrey for Mr. Will Wong It is without question that Jim Henson was a Visionary; a revolutionary Artist whose work was as unique as it was inspiring. And thanks to Disney his work, The Muppets, continue to inspire us. Since purchasing The Muppets in 2004, Disney have produced four Films, the most recent of which is the first traditional Sequel starring the felt-skinned Squad. Subtitled Most Wanted, it begins immediately after its self-titled Predecessor. Whilst in the ... Read more

#REVIEW: KYLIE MINOGUE – “KISS ME ONCE”

It's been four years since we've heard new Music from Australian Pop Queen Kylie Minogue and just as we reached starvation mode, now surfaces her 12th Studio Disc, Kiss Me Once.  The Multimedia Empire herself has never been shy about her sensuality and despite playing it safe on this 11-track Offering, our jaws cannot help but drop upon perusal of its Track Listing.  Sexercize? Sexy Love? Sleeping with the Enemy? Les Sex??!  Yes we're uncomfortable, but we cannot help but be intrigued. ... Read more

#REVIEW: “THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL”

Few things in life are certain, but we can always be sure that Wes Anderson knows how to make a gorgeous Film. Much-talked-about The Grand Budapest Hotel is everything his devout Fans could want: it is a thoughtful, highly-stylized celebration of Friendship and Love. It is a Crime-Thriller as much as it is witty Comedy and believe it or not, it is even partly factual, based on the writings of Matt Zoller Seitz. Chalk full of Cameos by Stars of Anderson-Films-Past, The Grand Budapest Hotel ... Read more

#REVIEW: “300: RISE OF AN EMPIRE”

Review by Jonathan Godfrey for Mr. Will Wong The story of Themystokles and his Athenian warships is as old as that of Leonides and his Royal Guard. Both fought valiantly against the Persians whilst they still ruled atop their Ziggurats. However, Themystokles differed from Leonidas in one regard, he wasn't a King. Themystokles was an poor Man turned Politician, the American Dream personified over two-thousand years before it was as commercialized as candy. Themystokles was and is a legend in ... Read more

#REVIEW: PHARRELL – “G I R L”

It may have taken eight years for it to happen, but Pharrell certainly gives us plenty to listen to his compact second solo Disc, G I R L. The melodic, fun and light Collection of ten Tracks is glossy, in-line with the Multimedia Mogul's signature minimalist, rhythm/groove-heavy sound.  The Celebrity Cameos certainly are bountiful on the Disc and we get the likes of Jojo, Kelly Osbourne, Tori Kelly, Daft Punk, Timbaland, Alicia Keys, Justin Timerblake and even Miley Cyrus lending a ...

#REVIEW: POMPEII

Filmed in Toronto,  Paul W.S. Anderson's Action-Adventure, Pompeii, long has been on our radars, piquing our curiosity just how our newly-upgraded Pinewood Studios would fare on the World Stage in an ever-compeitive landscape of expensive-looking 3-D Blockbusters. Visually and technically, the Film succeeds on many levels, giving us a ground-up view of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. as it is about to errupt, eventually destroying completely the Roman-infiltrated City of Pompeii.  And for this ...

#REVIEW: “ENDLESS LOVE”

Review by Jessica Whitford for Mr. Will Wong In the very least, Endless Love will have you pining for Summer, flowing blonde hair, and the strong hand of a young Autoworker to hold! Delightfully-predictable and cliché-heavy, the Romantic-Drama serves-up exactly what you might expect of the Genre, with a few surprises perhaps. After a family tragedy leaves Jade Butterfield (Gabriella Wilde) despondent and heartbroken, she shuts-out the World, but one person always had his heart set on her. ... Read more

#REVIEW: WINTER’S TALE

Review by Jonathan Godfrey for Mr. Will Wong As a young Man, Akiva Goldsman read Winter’s Tale shortly after it’s 1983 release. Nearly three decades later, following the death of his wife, he was moved to make the literary masterpiece into a Feature Film. It was no small task mind you. To scale back 800 pages of prose into a 200 page script took some tinkering. Furthermore, to craft a version of New York City lost in time took some vision. Alas, he tinkered and imagined, toiled and ... Read more

#REVIEW: “VAMPIRE ACADEMY”

Review by: Addison Wylie for Mr. Will Wong Moviegoers will always remember the big boom of modern vampires and their iffy lore. Some appreciated what Twilight executed with their movement, while others wished the movement had been executed altogether. That said, I believe we can all agree that Fantasies about brooding creatures of the night have had their time in the spotlight and are now starting to peter away slowly. It was like witnessing an out-of-control party scamper off into the ... Read more
