#REVIEW: “TOY STORY 4”

Review by George Kozera for Mr. Will Wong Historically speaking, TOY STORY 4 shouldn’t work. With the exception of Marvel movies, the fourth Feature film following a successful Trilogy is usually involves a rehashing of ideas. This is SO not the case this time around. I will even venture to predict that TOY STORY 4 will be the highest grossing movie in the storied Franchise. With lightning bolt precision and spectacular Animation, we see all the toys we know and love and there is even a ... Read more

#REVIEW: “CHILD’S PLAY”

Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong When the first promotional material came out for the new Child’s Play everyone was giving it a hard time because Buddi looked super weird and creepy, but Director Lars Klevberg uses that to play into the campiness of this new ridiculous, over-the-top, and occasionally hilarious take on Chucky, the new Child’s Play. It changes the origin story of Chucky enough to make it modern, while making it more believable, who are we kidding here voodoo – ... Read more

#REVIEW: “THE DEAD DON’T DIE”

Review by David Baldwin for Mr. Will Wong Jim Jarmusch is the kind of Director you either love to hate or hate to love. His Films are offbeat at best, and decidedly not Mainstream. He is a Filmmaker who makes movies for himself first and the audience second. And The Dead Don’t Die – which opened the prestigious Cannes Film Festival just over a month ago – is no different. Something odd is happening in the sleepy town of Centerville. Daylight seems to stretch on forever, and all the ... Read more

#REVIEW: “DARK PHOENIX”

Review by Mr. Will Wong It is never easy talking about the X-Men as we are in our second incarnation, for live action, of the beloved characters and we are fully aware that this is the end for this casts’ take on the characters. It’s even more difficult when the Writer of the most controversial and fan enraging The Last Stand takes a swing at re-doing the exact same story, this time also directing it, but Simon Kinberg certainly did things differently with Dark Phoenix and it was exactly ...
