#REVIEW: “DEADPOOL 2”
Review by David Baldwin for Mr. Will Wong
The marketing for Deadpool 2 has been nothing short of amazing. The Trailers. The Social Media clips. That bonkers Music Video featuring CĂ©line Dion(!) and a dancing Deadpool. Every single element has been on-point and has only fueled anticipation for the R-rated Sequel. Suffice it to say, Deadpool 2 arrives in theatres this week with large stiletto heels to fill.
After a lengthy prologue, Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) lands himself in a high-tech prison ...

#REVIEW: “LIFE OF THE PARTY”
Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong
Life of the Party is far-fetched and ridiculous, packed with humour and one hell of a turn for Melissa McCarthy that will leave the audience in stitches.
The Movie starts off with parents Deanna (Melissa McCarthy) and Dan (Matt Walsh) dropping-off their child, Maddie (Molly Gordon)Â at college for her last year. Five minutes after that happens, Deanna and Dan are meant to be off to Italy for a trip, that is until Dan decides to tell Deanna that he ...

#REVIEW: “TULLY”
Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong
While quiet of late, Canadian-born Writer/Director Jason Reitman delivers on all fronts another notch in his already very prolific catalog with Tully. The Movie is truly eye-opening for those whom have never experienced hands-on motherhood, and something to relate on a deep level if they have.
Tully focuses on Marlo (Charlize Theron) as she and her husband Drew (Ron Livingston) are about to welcome their third child into the world. Their first two ...

#REVIEW: “BACKSTABBING FOR BEGINNERS”
Review by Siobhán Rich for Mr. Will Wong
Nothing says suspense like a good scandal at the United Nations. The UN Oil for Food Program was conceived with best of intentions in the wake of 9/11 with the purpose of selling Iraq’s oil in exchange for necessities which would be given to Iraqi people who otherwise would not have access to food and medicine due to UN sanctions. In what was certainly a shocking turn of events, politicians realized this do-goodery would be a great extra source of ...
