#REVIEW: “RUST AND BONE” DVD

Rust and Bone centers around a young Man named Alain (Matthias Schoenaerts), a jobless Single Father with a passion for Kickboxing, who struggles to make ends meet and be present  as a Father for his young ...

#REVIEW: “OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL”

Few Films truly take you away to another World and make you fall so much in love that you are sad to leave by the end of it all.  Such is the magic that is Oz The Great and Powerful, Director Sam Raimi's sorta Prequel to The Wizard of Oz.  Expectations are high for the $200-million Production and the question on everyone's mind is, just how good it really is, with the bar raised so impossibly high in its  association with such a widely-revered legacy. We are introduced here to an on-the-run ... Read more

#REVIEW: “STOKER”

Everybody has to figure out who they are in life and several great Films have been made about the subject of Coming of Age. None however, are quite like Chan-Wook Park's Stoker, the English-language Debut from the Director responsible for Cult Classic Old Boy, Screenplay by talented and far under-utilized Actor Wentworth Miller. Juxtaposing blood and beauty, the Psychological-Thriller although at moments Hitchcockian is unlike anything we've seen and anything you'll ever forget. After the ... Read more

#REVIEW: “JACK THE GIANT SLAYER”

By: Jonathan Godfrey for Mr. Will Wong It’s always a wonder as to what Bryan Singer will do next. Ever since he created the cult Phenomenon The Usual Suspects, he’s had the World riveted. Unlike the vocal majority, I enjoyed his chapter in the Superman Saga, while at once I am not as fond of his  Television Production, House. Thus, with wonder intact and my opinion divided, I went into Jack  The Giant Slayer with a relatively open mind. Singer continues his relationship with Warner ... Read more

#REVIEW: “21 AND OVER”

From the Writers of The Hangover, Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, comes their directorial debut 21 and Over, a Coming of Age Comedy about Pre-Medical Student Jeff Chang (Justin Chon) on his 21st Birthday, which also happens to be the night before his Medical School Exam.

#REVIEW: “CURFEW” & “BUZKASHI BOYS”

With the Oscars soon to come, it perhaps is time to shed some light on the lesser-recognized talents on Film's biggest night - the Short Films. In the running this year for Oscar Gold this year include  Buzkashi Boys and Curfew, both distributed internationally by Ouat Media. The two Pieces paint a picture of the grim realities of life in the contemporary World, in opposite Hemispheres. CURFEW Curfew - directed, written and acted by Shawn Christensen (Writer of 2011's Abduction) - centers ... Read more

#REVIEW: “BEAUTIFUL CREATURES”

What makes Beautiful Creatures stand-out in a crowded field of Young Adult Fiction Adaptions isn't its immensely talented Cast, nor is it that Dark Fantasy of a Love Story, which Women of all ages have been unable to resist with the recent successes of The Twilight Saga, The Hunger Games and Warm Bodies.  What makes this Richard LaGravenese Film so highly-enjoyable is the fact that it is self-aware and unafraid to take a few risks by making us laugh. At the center of Beautiful Creatures is ... Read more

#REVIEW: “SIDE EFFECTS”

One of the most thrilling rides you'll experience at the Movies in 2013 fortunately comes early in the year for those of us who have been - pardon the pun - going crazy waiting to see it.  Auteur Director Steven Soderbergh and longtime Writing Collaborator Scott Z. Burns  (The Informant, Contagion)  by no means make Side Effects  an easy guessing game for those of us who love our Psychological- Thrillers. With Martin's (Channing Tatum) release from Prison forthcoming, anxieties are high ... Read more

#REVIEW: “HOUSE OF CARDS” (SEASON ONE)

Although 2013 has only just begun, Netflix Series House of Cards sure has raised the bar way high for any other Drama Series hoping to make its  debut this year.  Based upon the BBC Series of the same name, the first season of House of Cards was  released in its complete 13-episode entirety at once, an unprecedented move which both is amazing and admittedly a bit frustrating for Fans who feel as though they've been served Dessert first, now on a low from the euphoric Sugar Crash.  Confident ...
