#REVIEW: “BRIDGET JONES’S BABY”

In one of those rare occasions, the Sequel outdoes even its predecessor in BRIDGET JONES'S BABY! And to think, some of us didn't think a third Film was necessary! V. early into this third instalment, you'll remember right away how much we've missed our favourite fumbling heroine, reprised with great tenacity by a long-absent Renée Zellweger. Although we are led to believe after second instalment The Edge of Reason, that Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) and Bridget Jones were to walk into the sunset ... Read more

#REVIEW: “SNOWDEN”

Translating any story about the internet comes at a great handicap as what normally would be communicated through action, must be compensated through careful storytelling and the describing of process. How do you make a story about the process behind the leaking of documents one that engages and rivets? Oliver Stone does just this, delivering perhaps his greatest work in quite some time in Snowden. The story still fresh on our minds, he gets deep into the psyche of whistleblower/traitor ... Read more

#REVIEW: “SULLY”

Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong Both Clint Eastwood and Tom Hanks are masters of their crafts, but there is something about new Feature Sully that just felt like it didn’t need to be told or perhaps not so soon. Seven years ago United Airlines Flight 1549 had to make an emergency landing in the Hudson River and miraculously all 155 souls survived. That makes for a pretty riveting story, but when that is the entire story, a full-length Feature almost seems redundant. The Film ... Read more

#REVIEW: “THE LIGHT BETWEEN OCEANS”

Review by Siobhán Rich for Mr. Will Wong A prevalent theme with many Films this summer is the risks and heartbreaking choices people make in the name of love. Based on the book by M.L. Stedman, The Light Between Oceans demands its characters learn the expansive power of love even at the cost of their own happiness. When Tom Sherbourne (Michael Fassbender) returns home after the Great War, he is shattered after four long years of service. He decides to become the lighthouse keeper on Janus ... Read more

#REVIEW: “THE 9TH LIFE OF LOUIS DRAX”

Review by Siobhán Rich for Mr. Will Wong If Louis Drax was a cat, he would have used up his nine lives. A self-described “amazing, accident prone boy” he has survived poisoning, electrocution, and enough broken bones to raise eyebrows at any good Emergency Room. Concerned people finally rally when he ends up in a coma after falling from a cliff on the afternoon of ninth birthday. Trapped in a world just beyond wakefulness, the young narrator draws the audience into The 9th Life of Louis ... Read more

#REVIEW: “A TALE OF LOVE AND DARKNESS”

Review by George Kozera for Mr. Will Wong Whereas there are moments to admire in Natalie Portman’s directorial and screenwriting feature Film debut with A TALE OF LOVE AND DARKNESS, the Oscar-winning actress may have bitten off more than she can chew. Every now and again, a Movie’s title encapsulates everything on screen succinctly. Adapted from an acclaimed Israeli autobiographical novel and set in British occupied Jerusalem 1945, the Movie opens with an abundance of love; especially that ... Read more

#REVIEW: “DON’T BREATHE”

Review by David Baldwin for Mr. Will Wong Three small time thieves in urban Detroit steal from the rich for quick cash. They only take small items and never take money. But when the group stumble on news that there is a wealthy Blind Man (played by Avatar’s dastardly Stephen Lang) living in an otherwise abandoned neighbourhood, they decide to make an exception. But what should be an easy heist turns into a much deadlier situation when the Blind Man fights back. No word of a lie, Don’t ... Read more

#REVIEW: “WAR DOGS”

Review by David Baldwin for Mr. Will Wong Director Todd Phillips has been working in comedy for nearly two decades. I can re-watch and quote The Hangover and Old School endlessly, and I still have a soft spot for the completely asinine Road Trip. So when the trailers started appearing for War Dogs these past few months, I was instantly hooked. It resembled literally nothing from Phillips career but still looked like a lot of dark fun. What could go wrong? It is the mid-2000s and David Packouz ... Read more

#REVIEW: “KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS”

Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong First time Director Travis Knight (who was the lead Animator on two other Laika Productions) brings us Kubo and the Two Strings which is one of the most beautiful Animated Films released this year, further proves that Laika is a force to be reckoned with and provides a heart warming story that may be original and formulaic, but still incredibly enjoyable and a fantastic Film. Our story begins with Kubo (Art Parkinson), our one-eyed protagonist, ... Read more

#REVIEW: “BEN-HUR”

Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong From Director Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter) and Screenwriters Keith Clarke and John Ridley, comes the epic tale and reimagining of Ben-Hur. Despite having a classic pedigree,  this latest incarnation falls flat through and through. The saving grace however comes in a shakily-shot Third Act which centers on a chariot race and a fantastic score by Marco Peltrami. Our Movie starts off with our protagonist Judah ... Read more
