#REVIEW: “THE ODYSSEY”
By Mr. Will Wong
Giving us themes of hope, resilience and civility, The Odyssey is a perfect film that the world is in dire need of right now. Visionary Christopher Nolan goes big in his latest effort, tackling the never-ending tension between fate versus human agency here on the grandest scale, with an A-List Cast. The epic action-fantasy is an uplifting reminder, as it says in the Film itself, civilization will rise again.
The story centers on heroic Odysseus (Matt Damon) whom after ...

#REVIEW: “EVIL DEAD BURN”
Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong
Thirteen years ago, Fede Alvarez showed us that Evil Dead didn’t need to be campy fun, and gave us one of the most sadistic and brutal Evil Dead movies to date. Three years ago Lee Cronin gave us a more disturbing and visceral Evil Dead with Evil Dead Rise, but Fede’s vision still remained the crème of the crop in the new installments, now we have Sebastien Vanicek’s Evil Dead Burn which may be the most gnarly and gruesome evil dead yet, brings ...

#REVIEW: “JACKASS: BEST AND LAST”
Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong
“Hi I’m Johnny Knoxville, welcome to Jackass” words that we first heard 26 years ago, and no one then could’ve predicted that these words would’ve changed the lives of a generation for better, worse, or indifferently - but they certainly changed the world. Since the inception of the series, we’ve had three seasons of the show, two spin-off shows, five feature films, ".5" versions of the film, a video game, and a mobile game about a ...

#REVIEW: “SUPERGIRL”
By Mr. Will Wong
Buzz has been feverish for Craig Gillespie's SUPERGIRL, a story fans of the DC Universe have been longing for. But is this feature the origins story we hoped for?

#REVIEW: “TOY STORY 5”
Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong
As someone with three separate Toy Story tattoos and Pixar one as well, the brand and franchise hold a very special place in my heart. I was too young to be Andy in Toy Story, but by the time Toy Story 3 came out, and we witnessed those final moments where we thought we were saying goodbye to Woody, Buzz and everyone else for the first real time, I was devastated! I still am destroyed emotionally. I approached Toy Story 5 with hesitations because I ...

#REVIEW: “SCARY MOVIE”
By Mr. Will Wong
The excitement is palpable as SCARY MOVIE returns to the big screen, some 13 years after its fifth installment. They're doing it bigger than ever this go, as The Wayans re-join the Franchise, giving fans a reminder why it is they loved this ridiculous Horror Parody franchise so much in the first place, to the tune of $900 million at the Box Office, globally.

#REVIEW: “MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE”
Review by Nicholas Porteous for Mr. Will Wong
On the mythical planet of Eternia, Adam–a young prince–struggles to become a warrior just as his kingdom is crushed by Skeletor (Jared Leto)–an angry guy with a skull for a face.
