#REVIEW: “THE HOBBIT: THE BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES”
Review by Jonathan Godfrey for Mr. Will Wong
It is the end of an era, the cinematic mythology of Middle-Earth has come to a close. This, the latest and last of the Hobbit Tales, begins exactly where the last one left off. Smaug has been awakened by a gaggle of gold hungry Dwarves, and as a result the Dragon releases his wrath upon the nearby Lake-town. As the fires burn Bard (Luke Evans) finds the courage to fulfill his destiny and slay the foul Beast. It’s an enchanting opening sequence, ...

#REVIEW: “EXODUS: GOD AND KINGS”
Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong
Don't get us wrong, Ridley Scott’s latest Film Exodus: Gods and Kings is by no means remarkable, but perhaps it is one of the more tolerable biblical Pictures offered to Moviegoers in the past while. The story of Moses is well-known, hence the challenges certainly are there and the room for taking liberties really is sparse. Even a team of four Screenwriters including Steve Zaillian (Schindler’s List, American Gangster) struggle to adapt the ...

#REVIEW: “TOP FIVE”
Review by Jonathan Godfrey for Mr. Will Wong
The term "Top Five" refers to an individual's favorite rap emcees. For example someone may say their Top Five is: Nas, 2-Pac, Drake, Kanye West and Eminem. While another person may respond with: Biggie, Jay-Z, Ice Cube, Andre 3000 and Slick Rick. The possibilities are endless, but what does that have to do with the Film by the same name?
Top Five is a Romantic-Comedy that is starring, written and directed by Chris Rock. It tells the tale of Andre ...

#REVIEW: “SERENA”
Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong
Danish Director Susanne Bier’s latest effort, the  long-awaited Depression Era Drama Serena,  comes with high expectations, reuniting Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle Co-Stars Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence a third time.  The Film is based on the Bestseller by Author Ron Rash. Other than some watchable performances from a talented Ensemble, telling a Story of corruption and jealousy, regrettably we cannot help but feel it misses ...

#REVIEW: “CORNER GAS: THE MOVIE”
Review by George Kozera for Mr. Will Wong
Fans of Dog River, Saskatchewan and its quirky Inhabitants rejoice – CORNER GAS: THE MOVIE is coming to a Movie Theatre near you. I must admit, in full disclosure, that I was not a regular Viewer of the highly-successful and multi-award-winning TV Series in its six-season run on CTV, but I had watched enough shows to know the Characters and each of their idiosyncratic personalities.
I approached viewing the long awaited cinematic version with ...

#REVIEW: “WILD”
Based on the Memoir WILD: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed, WILD certainly has generated its share of buzz on the Festival Circuit pre-Awards season. Reese Witherspoon goes through yet another reinvention here in a Career which has seen both Oscars for her turn as June Carter Cash and massive teen fandom in the adored Legally Blonde franchise. In an already successful year which has seen her win quiet victories in a Producer's role for massively-successful Gone ...

#REVIEW: “PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR”
Review by George Kozera for Mr. Will Wong
Let’s be real - who doesn’t love Penguins? After we learned so much about these adorable, tuxedo-clad Creatures in the Oscar-winning Documentary, March of the Penguins, their media saturation rivals that of Beyoncé: they’re featured in Television Commercials, Prints Ads and as the incredibly charming sidekicks in the 2005 DreamWorks animated Classic Madagascar, Movie Stars. After they proved their mettle in the successful TV series (still ...

#REVIEW: “HORRIBLE BOSSES 2”
Review by David Baldwin for Mr. Will Wong
I was not a huge fan of 2011’s Horrible Bosses, but I still love the concept. Honestly, who has not hated their boss at one or more of their jobs? Sure, the idea of murdering them may seem a bit extreme, but the BS that Nick (Jason Bateman), Kurt (Jason Sudeikis) and Dale (Charlie Day) all faced in their lackluster careers is universal and something almost anyone could identify with. Rather obviously, this is where the Film found the majority of its ...

#REVIEW: “THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY, PART 1”
Review by Jonathan Godfrey for Mr. Will Wong
Suzanne Collins has gifted the Literary and now Moviegoing World with the remarkable Katniss Everdeen - a contemporary exemplification of Womanhood: its poetic strengths, emotional vigor; and divine connection to life.  And when it comes to the role of Katniss, it isn’t correct to say that Jennifer Lawrence simply is reprising the role -  she remains Katniss. Her bow, experience and heart remain in Lawrence's worthy hands.
Director Francis ...
