						By Mr. Will Wong
This one hits a little close to home.  We got our start in Fan Culture and still to this day, those celebrity selfies and sightings are a huge part of our online identity. How cool is it that Utopia has released a new Doc, HOLLYWOOD SIGNS from Music Video Director Bill Fishman.  The Film explores Fan Culture, the obsession and industry of Autograph Chasing and some of the people who do it.
Fishman is able to get actual celebrities to participate in individual sit-downs, ...

					#REVIEW: “THE GREATEST BEER RUN EVER”
				
					 	
				
			
								 									
						
						Review by David Baldwin for Mr. Will Wong
It is 1967 and the United States is in the thick of the Vietnam War. Chickie Donohue (Zac Efron) is a Marine vet now working as a merchant seaman. He lives with his parents, sleeps until 3 PM, and spends his nights drinking with his buddies. One night, the bar suggests it would be fun for someone to rally the troops with beers and well wishes from home. Chickie decides quickly that it should be him doing it, and after arriving in Saigon, quickly learns ...

					#REVIEW: “HOCUS POCUS 2”
				
					 	
				
			
								 									
						
						By Mr. Will Wong
Despite a less than enthusiastic reception upon its initial 1993 release, HOCUS POCUS found new life as Halloween Cult Classic in the years to follow. It makes perfect sense that HOCUS POCUS 2, which comes almost 30 years after its beloved predecessor, finds its home, streaming at home to Disney+ subscribers.
So much has changed in the world and HOCUS POCUS 2 from Director Anne Fletcher (Step Up, Hot Pursuit) explores what life would be like today for the feared Sanderson ...

						Review by David Baldwin Will Wong
SIDNEY, fresh off its World Premiere at TIFF’22 just under two weeks ago, is a lifetime sprawling Documentary centred around the legendary Oscar-winning Actor Sidney Poitier – from his early years in the Bahamas as the son of tomato farmers, to his first acting gigs, to his part in popular culture during the Civil Rights movement, and everything that followed.
Much like the man himself,  is a powerful and emotional Documentary that had me constantly ...

					#REVIEW: “BLONDE”
				
					 	
				
			
								 									
						
						Review By Mr. Will Wong
None can fault the phenomenal work by Ana de Armas in Andrew Dominik's adaptation of Joyce Carol Oates' Novel, BLONDE. However, clocking-in at 166 minutes, this fictionalized account of Marilyn Monroe's rise and demise, feels one-dimensional, even though it explores the polarity between her public persona and personal demons.
The story begins grim and keeps gets grimmer as we meet a young Norma Jean (Lily Fisher) who is raised by her abusive mother Gladys (Julianne ...

						Review by David Baldwin for Mr. Will Wong
It is the 1950s and Agatha Christie’s ‘The Mousetrap’ has just celebrated its 100th show in London’s West End. The Show is a rousing success and there is talk of a film adaptation. During the Cast and Crew party however, the Film’s Director Leo Kopernick (Adrian Brody) is murdered and literally everyone is a possible suspect. Now it is up to Inspector Stoppard (Sam Rockwell) and film-obsessed Constable Stalker (Saoirse Ronan) to crack the ...

						Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong
When we live in the world of 2022, few things are held sacred anymore and that goes to movies and spoilers especially. While it is not fair to solely blame society for this cruel reality we live in, its also fair to blame studios who love to show the final shots of a film, massive plot points, or even cameos in trailers. Thankfully, Zach Cregger’s Barbarian gives audiences just a taste of what they can expect and allows the true horrors to unfold ...

					#REVIEW: DISNEY’S “PINOCCHIO”
				
					 	
				
			
								 									
						
						Review by Mr. Will Wong
What a delight that on Disney+ Day, subscribers get treated to a new live-action adaptation of Disney's PINOCCHIO, directed by the incredible Robert Zemeckis?  And while the Film might've deserved a theatrical run with a lack of family releases having hit the big screen this Summer, either way it will find a way into our hearts.
The recipe still contains the same magical ingredients in this classic tale.  Pinocchio (Canada's own Benjamin Evan Ainsworth) is a wooden ...

						Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong
When Horror fans were first introduced to Esther in 2009, they were shocked to discover her true nature. Even though Orphan laid-out some clues as to who she really was, the ending and twist that came from the 2009 film was something that shook audiences. To this day, it widely is talked about as one of the most unforgettable reveals, for good or worse, in recent memory. 13 years later, audiences get to reunite with Esther in Orphan: First Kill and, ...

					#REVIEW: “BODIES BODIES BODIES”
				
					 	
				
			
								 									
						
						Review by Amanda Gilmore for Mr. Will Wong
Bodies Bodies Bodies is a fun, fresh whodunnit with an outstanding ensemble of upcoming talent.
It follows newly-sober Sophie (Amandla Stenberg) and her girlfriend Bee (Maria Bakalova) who travel to Sophie’s rich childhood friend David’s (Pete Davidson) family mansion for a hurricane party. Once there, it becomes clear that all of Sophie’s friends are wealthy, self-absorbed, and drug-addicted. This makes the reserved Bee feel even more like an ...
