#REVIEW: “THEATER CAMP”

Review by George Kozera for Mr. Will Wong THEATER CAMP opens with archival footage of young kids performing on a stage when it hits you; those talented children grew up to be Ben Platt (Dear Evan Hansen), Molly Gordon ( “The Bear”) and Noah Galvin (“The Good Doctor”) who, alongside Nick Lieberman, all had a hand in directing, producing and writing this unabashed love letter to the musical theatre. As a musicals aficionado…OK…junkie, I had a ridiculous grin plastered on my face ... Read more

#REVIEW: “JOY RIDE”

By Mr. Will Wong JOY RIDE is what happens when fresh voices get a chance to be heard. Writer-turned-Director Adele Lim makes her an unforgettable directorial debut in what is equal parts a raunchy R-rated Comedy as much it is a heartfelt Buddy Road Trip jaunt. The story centers on Audrey (Ashley Park), who is adopted at a young age by white parents, in a predominately white town.  She befriends Lolo (Sherry Cola) and they tackle the education system and mean kids together growing-up.  ...

#REVIEW: “MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – DEAD RECKONING PART ONE”

Review by David Baldwin for Mr. Will Wong A rogue A.I. referred to as “the entity” has gone missing. A mysterious cross-shaped key the entity needs is out on the black market and Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his IMF team have been tasked with finding it. With various forces standing in their way, including the sentient algorithm that is always multiple steps ahead, finding the key will not be simple. That is about the simplest way I can describe the plot of MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – ... Read more

#REVIEW: “NO HARD FEELINGS”

By Mr. Will Wong It should come as no surprise that Gene Stupnitsky (Good Boys) delivers something accomplished in his latest Comedy, NO HARD FEELINGS. He's managed to temper that fine balance between heartfelt and comedic through his years of experience as both a Writer and Director on beloved series The Office. The premise of NO HARD FEELINGS seems like a raging horomonal male teen's dreams. An introverted, soft-spoken 19-year-old, Percy (award-winning stage star Andrew Barth Feldman) just ... Read more

#REVIEW: “ELEMENTAL”

Review by David Baldwin for Mr. Will Wong In Element City, fire, water, land and air individuals co-exist together. Most of the fire residents live in a borough called Fire Town, where Ember Lumin (Leah Lewis) dreams of one day taking over her Dad’s convenience store, The Fireplace. She has to gain control of her nasty temper first though; one that leads to her meeting water resident and Health Inspector Wade Ripple (Mamoudou Athie). And despite their cultural differences and initially ... Read more

#REVIEW: “THE FLASH”

Review by Nicholas Porteous for Mr. Will Wong The Justice League--DC's answer to The Avengers--has had its share of trouble getting off the ground with some successes, but patience is a virtue. So here we are. The Flash has found its way into theatres, and Ezra Miller's moment has arrived. And of course, Michael Keaton is back as classic 1989 Batman! You thought he returned in Batman Returns??

#REVIEW: “SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE”

Review by Nicholas Porteous for Mr. Will Wong Let's get this out of the way: Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse is 140 minutes of glorious setup for 2024's Spider-Man: Beyond The Spider-Verse. Glorious, yes--but setup, also yes! It's an unfinished story, and in this humble reviewer's opinion, even referring to the ending as a "cliffhanger" is generous. Well over 2 hours into the much anticipated sequel to 2018's Into The Spider-Verse, we've arrived at the midpoint of the story. It's not a ... Read more

#REVIEW: “THE BOOGEYMAN”

Review by David Baldwin for Mr. Will Wong What scared you as kid? What kept you up late at night, too frightened to look under your bed or into your closet? Chances are it was something akin to The Boogeyman, who you only heard of in passing yet believed existed and tormented you while you were getting to sleep every night. That terrifying entity is the big bad in this titular adaptation of Stephen King’s short story. After a startingly opening that tells you no one is safe, we are in the ... Read more

#REVIEW: “YOU HURT MY FEELINGS”

Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong You Hurt My Feelings is both the main dilemma and title of Nicole Holofcener’s newest feature that premiered at Sundance to raves. While the Movie certainly  showcases a powerhouse performance from its lead, the rest of the Movie falls a bit short, plagued by melodrama and life issues more relatable to some than others. The Movie focuses on Beth (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), an Author whose Memoir didn’t sell as well as she had hoped. Struggling to ... Read more
