#REVIEW: “STOKER”
Everybody has to figure out who they are in life and several great Films have been made about the subject of Coming of Age. None however, are quite like Chan-Wook Park's Stoker, the English-language Debut from the Director responsible for Cult Classic Old Boy, Screenplay by talented and far under-utilized Actor Wentworth Miller. Juxtaposing blood and beauty, the Psychological-Thriller although at moments Hitchcockian is unlike anything we've seen and anything you'll ever forget.

#REVIEW: “JACK THE GIANT SLAYER”
By: Jonathan Godfrey for Mr. Will Wong
It’s always a wonder as to what Bryan Singer will do next. Ever since he created the cult Phenomenon The Usual Suspects, he’s had the World riveted. Unlike the vocal majority, I enjoyed his chapter in the Superman Saga, while at once I am not as fond of his Television Production, House. Thus, with wonder intact and my opinion divided, I went into Jack The Giant Slayer with a relatively open mind.
Singer continues his relationship with Warner ...

#REVIEW: “BEAUTIFUL CREATURES”
What makes Beautiful Creatures stand-out in a crowded field of Young Adult Fiction Adaptions isn't its immensely talented Cast, nor is it that Dark Fantasy of a Love Story, which Women of all ages have been unable to resist with the recent successes of The Twilight Saga, The Hunger Games and Warm Bodies. What makes this Richard LaGravenese Film so highly-enjoyable is the fact that it is self-aware and unafraid to take a few risks by making us laugh.
At the center of Beautiful Creatures is ...

#REVIEW: “SIDE EFFECTS”
One of the most thrilling rides you'll experience at the Movies in 2013 fortunately comes early in the year for those of us who have been - pardon the pun - going crazy waiting to see it. Auteur Director Steven Soderbergh and longtime Writing Collaborator Scott Z. Burns (The Informant, Contagion) by no means make Side Effects an easy guessing game for those of us who love our Psychological- Thrillers.
With Martin's (Channing Tatum) release from Prison forthcoming, anxieties are high ...

#REVIEW: “HOUSE OF CARDS” (SEASON ONE)
Although 2013 has only just begun, Netflix Series House of Cards sure has raised the bar way high for any other Drama Series hoping to make its debut this year. Based upon the BBC Series of the same name, the first season of House of Cards was released in its complete 13-episode entirety at once, an unprecedented move which both is amazing and admittedly a bit frustrating for Fans who feel as though they've been served Dessert first, now on a low from the euphoric Sugar Crash. Confident ...
