#REVIEW: “MASS”

Review by George Kozera for Mr. Will Wong Whereas I don’t have a favourite movie genre, those who read my reviews can ascertain that I tend to gravitate towards films that are adaptations of works that were originally created for live theatre. Due to stage limitations, every word used must be crafted in such a way to provide exposition, convey emotions, and advance the storyline with precision. Anyone adapting something with theatrical roots for the silver screen has the additional pressure ... Read more

Review by Nicholas Porteous for Mr. Will Wong The Rescue, which just premiered at TIFF '21, cuts deep. It's the stunning Documentary account of a Thai soccer team trapped in an underwater cave, and the group of over 5,000 workers who endeavoured to bring them out of the depths in a life-or-death, one-of-a-kind mission that most experts considered impossible right up to its final seconds.

#REVIEW: “NO TIME TO DIE”

Review by George Kozera for Mr. Will Wong Some things are just worth waiting for. NO TIME TO DIE was eagerly awaited as it was purported to be the last time we’d see Daniel Craig in the iconic role. And, I say this as a casual fan of the Franchise, it was definitely worth the wait. To honour the sheer joy I experienced watching this Movie, this just may be the shortest plot synopsis I had ever written as watching the many events unfold in breathless scene after scene is the reason we all ...
