#REVIEW: “THE LEGO MOVIE 2: THE SECOND PART”
Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong
Five years ago, Phil Lord and Chris Miller brought us something AWESOME in The Lego Movie.

Legendary Director, Jean-Luc Godard’s THE IMAGE BOOK won a special Palme d’Or from Cate Blanchett’s jury on the closing night at the Cannes Film Festival last year.

Using scenes from movies as diverse as Young Mr. Lincoln, Pasolini’s Salo, Vertigo, Cocteau’s Beauty and the Beast, Joan Crawford in Johnny ...
