#REVIEW: âMISSION: IMPOSSIBLE â THE FINAL RECKONINGâ
Review by David Baldwin for Mr. Will Wong
Nuclear Armageddon is imminent because of âThe Entityâ, a rogue AI program, and Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his team are the only ones who can stop it. That is the mission, if they choose to accept it.
Of course, the devil is in the needlessly complicated and outrageously elaborate details so nothing is easy and every plan must hinge on literal millisecond timing â but after 29 years and seven films, should anyone really expect that MISSION: ...

#REVIEW: “FINAL DESTINATION BLOODLINES”
Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong
The Franchise about cheating death had died... or so we thought. There really was no way there wouldnât be excitement for a new Final Destination movie, but with Final Destination Bloodlines, we have genuinely, the best entry into the Series, breaking the mold and upping the stakes tenfold.
Co-Directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein who were behind 2018âs Freaks and Writer Lori Evans Taylor and Guy Busick, the latter of which wrote Ready or Not, ...

#REVIEW: “ANOTHER SIMPLE FAVOR”
By Mr. Will Wong
Let's be real. Favours are never that simple. Picking up where we left in 2018's A SIMPLE FAVOR, the stakes are upped in this latest installment of Paul Feig's Dark Comedy Mystery series, ANOTHER SIMPLE FAVOR. Set in scenic Italy, we get even more deception, crazy plot twists, and of course, laughs.

#REVIEW: “THE ACCOUNTANT 2”
Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong
When I first saw 2016âs The Accountant, I didnât remember having strong feelings for the Movie. One way or another, and when the Sequel got announced I sort of questioned why. It didnât receive any high praise or love, and it didnât receive vitriol neither, so a sequel nine years later was unexpected. But thanks to Screenwriter Bill Dubuque (Ozark) this latest installment makes several improvements on its predecessor. The Accountant 2  is ...

#REVIEW: “THE LEGEND OF OCHI”
Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong
Isaiah Saxon may or may not ring a bell, but his latest effort The Legend of Ochi is one of the most beautiful live action hybrid movies in recent memory. I donât mean it using that horrifying cross bred that Alvin and the Chipmunks use but Ochi uses animatronics, puppetry, and anything else you can think of to bring this Movie to life and my God, does it ever do it tenfold! This is as beautiful an atmosphere and world (and story but more on that ...

#REVIEW: “THE WEDDING BANQUET”
By Mr. Will Wong
But really, how do you mess with perfection? Writer and Director Andrew Ahn's remake of the 1993 classic by Ang Lee certainly has big shoes to fill and while nothing will ever top the original, he does a great job telling this iteration through a fresh lens. True, we've made progess in leaps and bounds in the acceptance of being LGBTQ since the time the original film debuted, but generational pressures and stigmas still exist to this day.
At the center of this remake, we ...

#REVIEW: “WARFARE”
Review by Justin Waldman for Mr. Will Wong
Alex Garland â the man of a thousand different ideas and concepts is back with something similar to his last outing â Civil War â but this time with a Co-Director in war veteran Ray Mendoza in the incredibly unsettling yet realistic look at war in Warfare. The Movie is one of the most unflinching, unsettling looks at war ever depicted on-screen in a non-Documentary film period. It is 90 straight minutes of one unspecific mission where Ray and ...
