#REVIEW: “THE CALL OF THE WILD”

By George Kozera for Mr. Will Wong Jack London’s Novel, The Call of the Wild, was required reading in my grade school and I remember being enthralled as a young boy by the adventures of Buck, the huge St. Bernard/Scotch Collie dog in the Arctic. The book had been adapted for the screen many times since its publication in 1903 and its latest cinematic version, from Disney, is hugely entertaining. After being dognapped from his comfortable home where Buck had full reign, he winds up in the ... Read more

#REVIEW: “DOWNHILL”

Review by Mr. Will Wong DOWNHILL adds a bit of love to this weekend's slate or lack thereof Valentine's Day releases. The English adaptation of Swedish Comedy-Noir Force Majeure directed by Nat Faxon and Jim Rash, alludes occasionally to a bit of edge but ultimately shies away from being the exploratory love story it could have been.

MANIC is Halsey's third studio album and while some of the Disc contains material we're already familiar with like smash hits Graveyard and of course Without Me, we see the edgy Songwriter-Songstress bare some deep, aging wounds to the world.

While there are a mixture of sounds, Manic maintains that dark, ... Read more

#REVIEW: “UNDERWATER”

Review by George Kozera for Mr. Will Wong Nestled seven miles underneath the ocean’s surface lays a huge deep-sea drilling structure which houses hundreds of workers. As UNDERWATER opens, we see a scantily dressed Norah (a buffed and shorn Kristen Stewart) and hear her spout profound inanities that we, the audience, eventually learn has nothing significant to do with the plot, in a somber voiceover as she tries to rescue a daddy long legs spider from the bathroom sink. Suddenly, all hell ... Read more
