#REVIEW: “AD ASTRA”

Review by George Kozera for Mr. Will Wong The spectacular AD ASTRA opens with a close-up of the most striking blue eyes since Paul Newman’s. Brad Pitt plays Major Roy McBride, an astronaut who appears to be serene and calm under intense pressure which belie the angry voice over we hear of his inner thoughts and turmoil. In what has to be the most visually arresting ten minutes opening sequences we will probably see at the movies this year, we see Roy in space repairing a rig which is huge in ... Read more

The Cinematography by Dan Laustsen (The Shape of Water) is phenomenal and more importantly, ... Read more

#REVIEW: “BRITTANY RUNS A MARATHON”

Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong Brittany Runs a Marathon is based on the true story of one woman taking control of her life, and the way that Writer/Director Paul Downs Colaizzo tells this story, while one small problematic aspect gets in the way is truly inspiring and heartwarming and provides a really beautiful message that was needed this year. Brittany Runs a Marathon is delightful from start to finish sharing a positive message with no alternative message or heavy-handedness; ... Read more
