#REVIEW: “HOW TO MAKE A KILLING”
Review by Nicholas Porteous for Mr. Will Wong
In How to Make a Killing, Glen Powell is heir to a multi-billion dollar fortune. The only problem--he's eighth in line. The most entertaining solution? Kill everyone else on the list. Joining Hit Man and The Running Man in the steadily growing sub-genre of movies that playfully justify Glen Powell as a murderer, How to Make a Killing is a light and capable crime caper--the best entry in the unofficial series thus far.

#REVIEW: “WUTHERING HEIGHTS”
By Mr. Will Wong
Academy Award winner Emerald Fennell ambitiously writes and directs a new adaptation of Emily Bronté‘s classic "WUTHERING HEIGHTS". This splashy $80 million production ups the eroticism and heat, as Fennell takes some big swings here, while keeping the core elements of tragedy and romance intact.
The story centers on Catherine (played by Charlotte Mellington and Margot Robbie), who sees the dimming luster of her unpredictable, alcoholic father’s ancestral ...

The public have spoken and they can't get enough queer romance.
PILLION, adapted from Adam Mars-Jones' novel Box Hill, already comes into its theatrical release with tons of ...

#REVIEW: “THE MOMENT”
Review by Nicholas Porteous for Mr. Will Wong
The Moment is a messy Mockumentary ostensibly about ‘brat’ and all things under the brat umbrella–although, as a Charli XCX outsider, I walked away feeling like I understood brat less than I did before I saw the movie. In the vein of This is Spinal Tap, we follow the pop icon in the wake of Brat Summer, prepping for her filmed concert, and being led around by a clueless entourage of management and collaborators from one minor ...
