#REVIEW: “TULLY”
Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong

Tully focuses on Marlo (Charlize Theron) as she and her husband Drew (Ron Livingston) are about to welcome their third child into the world. Their first two ...

#REVIEW: “BACKSTABBING FOR BEGINNERS”
Review by Siobhán Rich for Mr. Will Wong
Nothing says suspense like a good scandal at the United Nations. The UN Oil for Food Program was conceived with best of intentions in the wake of 9/11 with the purpose of selling Iraq’s oil in exchange for necessities which would be given to Iraqi people who otherwise would not have access to food and medicine due to UN sanctions. In what was certainly a shocking turn of events, politicians realized this do-goodery would be a great extra source of ...

#REVIEW: “RAMPAGE”
Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong
Rampage sees Dwayne Johnson returning to another video game adaptation (Doom was previous), and while the outcome isn’t any different, the amount of energy and ridiculousness possessed by Rampage is through the roof and brings this otherwise seen-before concept done with Rock-branded twist. While the complete insanity based on a video game doesn’t always lend itself to an adaptation to Film very well, Rampage succeeds.
The Film starts-off ...

Featuring an array of some of the most talented and respected actors from the U.K., FINDING YOUR FEET is a wonderful example of this.
We first meet Lady Sandra (Oscar ...
