#REVIEW: “THE LEGO BATMAN MOVIE”
Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong
In 2014 the world was gifted The Lego Movie, which took  fans and critics alike by storm as one of the most enjoyable Animated Movies in recent memory.  It should be no shock that one of the most beloved Warner Bros. properties Batman, would get his own spin-off in The Lego Batman Movie and that  the sequel be just as entertaining and fun as its predecessor. The Lego Batman Movie is the most fun the family has had at the Movies all year.

#REVIEW: “RINGS”
Review by David Baldwin for Mr. Will Wong
Everyone old enough to remember watching The Ring has a story about receiving a phone call either during the Film or immediately afterwards. It was scary, creepy, dreadful, atmospheric, and left a lasting impression on audiences. It even started the ill-conceived wave of Americanized J-Horror remakes that only stopped in recent years. The Film had a less successful sequel released in 2005, and now 12 years and four release dates later, we have the ...

#REVIEW: “SHEPHERDS AND BUTCHERS”
Review by Siobhan Rich for Mr. Will Wong
Despite having a star better known for his comedic roles, Shepherds and Butchers is anything but funny. South African Director Oliver Schmitz’s Courtroom-Drama about capital punishment is a harrowing look at the criminal justice system during the apartheid era. The Movie pulls no punches to remind its audience of the stark reality of the period including its depiction the mass executions of death row inmates.
Prison warder Leon Labuschagne (Garion ...

#REVIEW: “xXx: THE RETURN OF XANDER CAGE”
Review by Jonathan Godfrey for Mr. Will Wong
The art and industry of Film makes for a beautiful beast. Take the exploits of Xander Cage for example. He stepped onto the scene 15 years ago. As the X-Games went live on television, Xander made them even more fantastical on Film. He was the millennial Bond. Same-same, but different.
Fast-forward to today. James Bond is as iconic as ever, and so is Vin Diesel. Following his greatest success to date (Furious 7), Diesel has set his sights on ...

#REVIEW: “SPLIT”
Review by Siobhán Rich for Mr. Will Wong
The best part of M. Night Shyamalan’s latest psychological thriller is James McAvoy. Playing the role of a man with living with Dissociative Identity Disorder, McAvoy is mesmerizing as he introduces the audience to seven of the 24 personalities hidden inside Kevin Crumb’s mind. From coldly calculating OCD-Dennis to innocent Hedwig, McAvoy plays each personality as its own distinct character rather than an offshoot or quirk of the greater whole. ...

#REVIEW: ” THE FOUNDER”
Review by Siobhán Rich for Mr. Will Wong
Few things represent America as well as McDonald’s. Fast, disposable food for a society that reveres speed and impersonality for its day to day survival. With a Big Mac combo no more than a few blocks away at all times, most people are as familiar with the "golden arches" as they are with the American flag. In The Founder, Writer Robert D. Siegel paints a picture of the birth of this company that couldn’t be more American if it were written on a ...
