#REVIEW: “RALPH BREAKS THE INTERNET”

Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong Wreck-It Ralph took audiences by surprise six long years ago, now he returns and breaks the internet in the Film's Sequel. The Movie picks-up where we last left-off - everyone doing their jobs in their respective games, then hanging-out across other games after the arcade closes. Ralph Breaks the Internet is one of those rare cases where the Sequel is as great, if not, better than the original, and I for one welcome it all with open arms. Everything ... Read more

#REVIEW: “HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE LIVE IN CONCERT”

Review by Jonathan Godfrey for Mr. Will Wong Harry Potter’s symphonic saga continues with the Goblet of Fire. The bi-annual concert series has hit its halfway point, and was attended last night by friends, families and fans of all four Hogwarts Houses. Costumes adorned many in the audience, but whether in wizarding robes or muggle attire, all were enthusiastic throughout. This is understandable as the Goblet of Fire is one of the most enjoyable movies in the eight-part series. Directed by ... Read more

#REVIEW: “FANTASTIC BEASTS: THE CRIMES OF GRINDEWALD”

Review by George Kozera for Mr. Will Wong At the end of the deliciously sweet and charming Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, the chemistry between Magizoologist Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) and wizard cop Tina Goldstein (Katherine Waterston) is established and we hope they wind-up together, like Tina’s psychic sister Queenie (Alison Sudol) has with schlubby, non-magical Polish baker Jacob Kowalski (Dan Fogler). Credence (Ezra Miller) seems not to have survived after almost ... Read more

A paratrooper squad is sent in to destroy a radio tower in a small French village that is crucial to the Allies’ plan. Things go wrong almost immediately, and most of the squad is destroyed.

#REVIEW: “OUTLAW KING”

Review by George Kozera for Mr. Will Wong Reuniting Director David Mackenzie and Chris Pine after their successful collaboration in HELL OR HIGH WATER, OUTLAW KING is set in Scotland in 1304 and recounts the story of Robert the Bruce (Pine). First, he submits to being governed by England’s King Edward I, then marries the King’s goddaughter Elizabeth (portrayed sublimely by Florence Pugh) and ultimately rallying Scottish supporters (that include Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Tony Curran) to be ...

#REVIEW: “THE GIRL IN THE SPIDER’S WEB”

Review by George Kozera for Mr. Will Wong The great test for me to determine if a cinematic adaptation works is going to see a movie while being superficially knowledgeable about the source material. I have never read the Stieg Larrson Trilogy about Lisbeth Salander nor have I seen the Swedish movie adaptations starring Noomi Rapace. I did see David Fincher’s Oscar-nominated English language version of THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO and was very impressed and was looking forward to the ... Read more

#REVIEW: “SUSPIRIA”

Review by Mr. Will Wong While our dreams were dashed of seeing Suspiria at TIFF '18 with Venice getting a coveted Premiere, patience pays-off as this latest effort from visionary Luca Guadagnino (Call Me By Your Name, A Bigger Splash) casts its spell over audiences right as the skies dim on the year, not unlike the Film's signature muted tones. A Remake of the 1977 Italian Horror by Dario Argento, Guadagnino's passion project sees the light of day finally after some delays getting off the ... Read more

#REVIEW: “BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY”

Review by David Baldwin for Mr. Will Wong Taking its title from the legendary Queen track, Bohemian Rhapsody chronicles the rise of the popular British band from its early beginnings right through to their incredible performance at the Live Aid charity concert in 1985 while also exploring the personal life of lead singer Freddie Mercury (Rami Malek). While the story for everyone not named Freddie Mercury is a bit light, fans of Queen will revel in Bohemian Rhapsody’s adoration for the Band. ... Read more

#REVIEW: “THE NUTCRACKER AND THE FOUR REALMS”

Review by George Kozera for Mr. Will Wong THE NUTCRACKER AND THE FOUR REALMS opens with the most impressive segue from the iconic Disney Magic Kingdom Castle logo as it follows an owl through the snowy landscape of 1800s Victorian London and lands in an attic where Clara (Mackenzie Foy) and her younger brother Fritz (Tom Sweet) catch an errant mouse with an elaborate mousetrap. Thus one theme is already set in motion: Elaborate gizmos, inquisitive children and mice. Lots and lots of the tiny ... Read more
